JÜ
Genres: Jazz Related Rock, Eclectic Fusion • Hungary

Worlds collide when the raucous Budapest-based power trio ‘Jü’ (consisting of fire-breathing guitarist Àdàm Meszáros, fuzz-bassist Ernö Hock and the remarkably flexible drummer András Halmos) joins Oslo-based saxophonist Kjetil Møster for this subversive meeting of the minds on RareNoise Records. A powerful manifesto for ecstatic, exploratory, envelope-pushing music mixed by Bill Laswell and mastered by Michael Fossenkemper.
