Just Music, a rotating collective from West Germany, challenged societal norms with avant-garde musical performances that blended classical expertise and rule-breaking experimentation. Led by Alfred Harth’s saxophone and wordless chants, their self-titled 1969 album on ECM Records, though currently out of print, remains a diverse menagerie of musical styles where instruments mimic animals—elephants, birds, reptiles—while human voices add a touch of mockery. Amid controlled chaos, the album defies conventional understanding, inviting listeners to explore its wreckage with intrigued fascination.
