JuJu

dear visitors,

it takes 3 long years to find the right musicians for project JUJU, to find musicians which are on the same wave as myself. JUJU is a musical project moving between styles like nu-jazz, hip-hop, trip-hop, jungle, etc important for our music is jazz harmony in fusion with electronic beats and backlights.

have a nice time with our music

My favorite Shorter album is JuJu. Recorded in 1964 for Blue Note and released in July 1965, the album featured all original songs by Shorter and included pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Elvin Jones—a rhythm section that had worked regularly with John Coltrane.
