Comes in gatefold mini LP replica with OBI & Japanese insert. On this 1967 Impulse release, tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp unleashed his 18-minute tour de force "The Magic of Ju-Ju," combining free jazz tenor with steady frenetic African drumming. Shepp's emotional and fiery tenor takes off immediately, gradually morphing with the five percussionists – Beaver Harris, Norman Connor, Ed Blackwell, Frank Charles, and Dennis Charles – who perform on instruments including rhythm logs and talking drums.
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. Jü Meets Møster bridges the gap between free jazz and hellacious, distortion-laced, guitar-driven hardcore rock.
