about

United Jazz + Rock Ensemble was a jazz-rock ensemble developed from a group of jazz musicians that was formed for a 1974 to 1975 television show of Süddeutscher Rundfunk (South German Broadcasting). Almost all future members of "United" were present from the beginning. During the 27 years of its existence, the band produced fourteen albums, all of them on Mood Records.
