context_page_description: Just Music were a West German avant-garde music ensemble, an interchangeable collective of classically trained instrumentalists founded at the centrum freier cunst, Frankfurt/Main in 1967 by multi-instrumentalist Alfred Harth. An inherent anti-commercial bias kept them at arm's length from the mainstream music business, enabling them to experiment at will. "Ein Modell fuer annaehernd herrschaftsfreie Kommunikation und Interaktion". Just Music changed their name several times depending on the context.
  Other names are New Thing Orchestra, Free Jazz Orkestra Frankfurt, Panta Rei and urKult.
