This year is the 50th anniversary of the big band Alexander von Schlippenbach originally convened for the Berlin Jazz Festival in 1966. Since then Globe Unity has gone on to be one of "the most remarkable assemblies of outside jazz talent since the AACM big bands" (John Litweiller, The Freedom Principle).
