about

Alfred Harth in 1964 had opened the club H in Frankfurt/Main as a meeting point and mainly platform for live concerts. In the beginning his band Interton-Combo performed mostly written entertainment arrangements while he was playing the clarinet only.
In 1965 Harth arranged some changes in music styles and personals by forming a New Orleans Band (and guests) with

Alfred Harth - cl / Winfried Szameitat - tr / Bernd K Otto - banjo / - Eckhard Otto - washboard.

September 1965 Harth had his first tenor sax, and he arranged some changes in music styles and personals by forming the Alfred-Harth-Jazztett:

Alfred Harth - ts, cl / Winfried Szameitat - tr / Klaus Willkomm - tb / Hans Schwindt - as, cl / Günter Wehlan - p / Peter Stock - b / Michael Klausmeyer - dr.

Find here a selection of diverse live recordings of Harth’s early jazz bands from the years 1965 and 1966.

In 1967, again, Harth arranged some changes in music styles and personals by forming the free improvising group Just Music.
Also, he changed the venue’s name club H into centrum freier cunst by extending der basement spaces for more varied occasions in art, poetry happenings etc. Harth at that time extended his instruments and began to play bass clarinet, trumpet, soprano- and alto sax besides clarinet and tenor saxophone.

Cover art: Under water surreal "Five Senses Aquarium", oil painting by Alfred Harth in 1965.

The album title had been generated by Städel artist and neighbor of the former club H / centrum freier cunst, Benedikt Ackermann, through ChatGPT 3.5, in a request to find kitschy messages for a vintage LP-Bar in South Korea.
