Stefan Pelzl´s JUJU is one of Austria’s most constant and creative Jazz ensembles. Shortly after its foundation in 1988, the group won the “2nd Lower Austria Jazz Contest”. In these early days, JUJU was influenced by John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter and Yusef Lateef, but – once out of these footprints- was very soon able to create a very original style in composing and performing as well. Four albums were recorded and prove for an outstanding musical development, , for the first one click here: CD „Stefan Pelzl ´s JUJU featuring Idris Muhammad“, 1989 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUbNy02IlQA
Virtually retaining the same core of the group, numerous top-musicians could be engaged for specific projects, including Leo Wright, Idris Muhammad, Ingrid Jensen, Lorenz Raab, Franz Hautzinger, Thomas Gansch, Lorenz Raab, Alois Eberl, Ilse Riedler and others. The group plays only original compositions, mainly by the leader. JUJU have recorded four albums.
Stefan Pelzl´s JUJU performs as a quartet as well as a quintet or sextet with one or two additional horn players on trombone, tenor/sopranosax and or trumpet. The actual line-up is:
Andy Bartosh: guitar Karl Sayer: double bass Klaus Goehr: drums Stefan Pelzl: alto sax, flute
