1964 was an important year in Wayne Shorter's musical life. At the beginning of the year, the saxophonist was still a member of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and played on classic Blue Note albums such as “Free For All” and “Indestructible”. In the spring, Shorter made his promising label debut with “Night Dreamer” and in the summer he joined the Miles Davis Quintet, solidifying a lineup that would become one of the most influential bands in jazz history. When he returned to the studio for Blue Note in August, he was accompanied by three musicians closely associated with John Coltrane: pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Elvin Jones. The resulting album, “JuJu”, is a gem in Shorter's impressive discography and features six of his impressive original compositions, including the rousing title track, the hypnotic “House Of Jade” and the cheerfully swinging “Yes Or No”.

As part of the extremely popular “Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series” Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for Blue Note US's analog reissues such as “Tone Poet” and “Classic Vinyl” – as a limited Japan only UHQCD with OBI stripe. The original recording session for “JuJu” took place on August 3, 1964 at Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.

While Universal Music Japan's first UHQCD series relied on the DSD data of previous SHM-SACD releases, with increasing popularity, albums that had not previously been released as SHM-SACD are now appearing. Typically, the Universal Archive master tapes are re-converted to DSD for this purpose. UHQCDs are ideal for music lovers who want to get as close as possible to the sound of the recording, but do not own an SACD player.
