Jerry Granelli UFB – News From The Street (11 songs, 1995)







About This Music Release

News From The Street is an 11-song music release by Jerry Granelli UFB. It was released in 1995 by veraBra Records (Germany) and Intuition Records (US).

Jerry Granelli (1940–2021), the innovative drummer known for his work with Vince Guaraldi (including the Peanuts soundtracks) and Mose Allison, led UFB—a quartet featuring dual guitarists Christian Kögel and Kai Brückner, plus bassist Andreas Walter. This mid-90s project blends jazz fusion with rock energy, funky grooves, and atmospheric textures, drawing from unconventional covers (Bruce Hornsby, Thelonious Monk, Jimi Hendrix) alongside originals.

Critics hailed it as a vibrant, creative fusion album that balances jazz improvisation with rock accessibility—praised for its excellent production, tight interplay, and repeated listening appeal.
