Ulysses Owens Jr. and Generation Y

Fine + Mellow Jazz Series: Curated by and in Collaboration with the National Jazz Museum in Harlem 

 

Led by Ulysses Owens Jr., a multi-Grammy Award–winning drummer, producer, educator, and author, Generation Y band champions emerging talent from the top music conservatories in New York City and beyond. Drawing inspiration from Ulysses’ mentors and influences, such as Mulgrew Miller, Roy Hargrove, George Cables, and the legendary Art Blakey, the ensemble presents a powerful, contemporary reimagining of the Jazz Messengers model. Many of the musicians also perform in Ulysses Owens Jr.’s acclaimed big band, creating a dynamic, intergenerational musical force.

 

Join us for an evening of electrifying performances, bold artistry, and the camaraderie of jazz.
