JÜ was formed in Budapest in 2012 by founding members Ádám Mészáros on guitar (Qiyan, Erik Sumo, Tariqa), Ernő Hock on bass (The Qualitons, Zuboly, Dresch Quartet, Grencsó Collective) and, initially, András Halmos on drums (Kampec Dolores, Tariqa, Gábor Gadó Quintet).

Over the past decade, the band has developed a unique and innovative sound, combining the freedom of free and avant-garde jazz, the momentum of post- and noise rock, experimental noise music, and various folk music influences. Their instrumental compositions are dynamic and multi-layered, with collective improvisation being one of the main guiding principles in their creative endeavor.

Their concerts are particularly intense, and the listener can feel like an active participant in the musical process, as this extremely energetic and vibrant stream of sound requires both physical and mental involvement.

Their first three albums, released by London-based RareNoise Records, established JÜ’s international reputation, leading to festival and club appearances throughout Europe and beyond, such as the Ljubljana Jazz Festival, the Saalfelden Jazz Festival, the Cairo Jazz Festival, the Nasjonal Jazzscene (Oslo), and the Vortex in London.

In 2022, Miklós Szilveszter (Rezervatum Orchestra, GreMi, AMP, Grencsó Collective, Trio Kontraszt) took over as drummer, whose character and playing technique have already been integrated into the trio's universe during concerts, and can also be heard for the first time on this fourth studio album.
