Ulysses Owens Jr. and Generation Y
The powerhouse drummer brings together a group of dynamic young musicians for an evening steeped in jazz tradition
The multifaceted drummer Ulysses Owens Jr. is “a musician who balances excitement gracefully and shines with innovation” (The New York Times). Claiming eight successful albums of his own, Owens has also gained special attention for his performances on Grammy Award-winning albums by Kurt Elling and the Christian McBride Big Band.
For this performance, he brings his Generation Y ensemble—a quintet comprising some of the most dynamic young jazz musicians on the scene, dedicated to moving the music forward, with a love of the jazz tradition.
