The Globe Unity Orchestra is a free jazz ensemble.
Globe Unity was formed in autumn 1966 with a commission received by Alexander von Schlippenbach from the Berlin Jazz Festival.[1] It had its debut at the Berliner Philharmonie on 3 November combining Gunter Hampel's quartet with Manfred Schoof' s quintet and Peter Brötzmann's trio

The Orchestra has been described as providing "the most remarkable assemblies of outside jazz talent since the AACM big bands".[3]
They performed in New Delhi, India for the Jazz Yatra in late 1970s. They performed at the Ashoka Hotel, New Delhi in 1978.
The final concert in the group's main lifetime was at the Chicago Jazz Festival in 1987.[1]
