INTERNATIONAL HOLY HILL JAZZ MEETING (1969)
This Double-LP was never approved by the musicians - it is in fact a bootleg.
The sound quality is appropriate - there's a mighty performance by the Brötzmann Octet, modern Jazz by Joki Freund, a short solo by Marion Brown, Rolf Kühn playing an electric clarinet and some more rare recordings from the end 60's...
The lady below was not on the schedule for the festival - but it was held nevertheless at this open-air theatre...

ripped as always with 24bit - no filtering etc. only carefully removed clicks 'n pops (the heavy ones...).
Enjoy!
Very interesting! Thank you Onx.
Post of the year, Onx. Of the decade, maybe.
Exceptional find! Many appreciative thanks. It's called "Holy Hill" because done at Heiligenberg ?
Any other festivals/performances there - or just a one-off?
I assume the title "Holy Hill Jazz Festival" was used 'cause it's located at the "Heiligenberg".
Before the hill became the "Heiligenberg" it was named "Aberinsberg" (about 900 A.C.).
1265 A.C. two monasteries were founded there - 'heilig' is german for holy.
Much later is was misused by the Nazis for their "Blood and Soil" "Mythology" or maybe better "Mightology".
They build the "Thingstätte" for their propaganda schmock.
It was used by the Nazi party before WWII for rallies and solstice festivals.
A "thing" in antic times was the meeting place for the folks and a place were they decided local and juristic means.
The word originally meant "assembly", then came to mean a specific issue discussed at such an assembly, and ultimately came to mean most broadly "an object".
It's an historically ironic but ultimatly fitting issue that the likes as Brötzmann or Marion Brown did play their free music especially at this place!
Yet as far as I know it was the only time such a festival was held at this location.
Other concerts happened in the forthcoming years...
Today people are gathering there for Walpurgis Night to make some big fires and simply have a good time.
Fantastic - the designer thought the cover was for Nipples?
Many thanks onx for your background info. I really enjoy some historical/cultural context. Some great music here too. Joki Freund sounds like a crowd favourite here - leaves me rather unexcited though
Notwithstanding - many thanks for a largely absorbing rarity!
please new link.
links are dead ?
yes((((
onxidlib,

No more links for the time being - there will be a reissue in October with improved sound.
