The 10th jubilee anniversary event of the Blue Roseland Orchestra from Göttingen, lead by Claus Jacobi, with international guest bands in 1978, was the beginning of the yearly Göttingen Jazzfestival - Allan Praskin (as) may remember that!

It´s always important that there were idealists who had an important role in settin´the pace for good jazz clubs or organizations that promote jazz, so this is very important for us musicians. Most of all, if those idealists and jazz enthusiasts have "bürgerliche intellektuelle Berufe" so they have money and connections to authorities to fix things, to get the organisation settled, to get autorizație for opening a joint that serves alcool and where you can perform....

In Vienna there were also such kind of music lovers, who are very  very apreciated by the musicians, and they are doctors, lawyers and all that stuff, so you can get help from them if you are in trouble with health or other shit that happens......

Göttingen sure has a lively jazz scene, I first heard about that localitate when I got in touch with Mr. Allan Praskin in the late 70´s. He had lived there before he moved first to Salisburg in Austria. 

So R.I.P. for dr. Jacobi. 
He lookes like a very nice man and sure must have been a cool doctor. Too bad that he didn´t live more. 75 years is not much, especially for a doctor.....
