Heralded as a “powerhouse of a showman” (Glide Magazine), a “legitimate jazz triple threat” (Critical Jazz), drummer, producer and educator Ulysses Owens Jr. goes the limit in the jazz world and beyond.
From GRAMMY award-winning performances with Christian McBride’s acclaimed Big Band to world tours with Kurt Elling and Joey Alexander, Owens’s artistic command of percussion has earned him positions in some of the most successful jazz ensembles of the 21st century. Owens has been consistently named as a Rising Star by DownBeat’s Critics Polls including for his Large Ensemble in 2022.
The Generation Y is a quintet comprised of the most dynamic young jazz musicians on the scene. Mentored by Owens, this new generation of young lions is dedicated to moving the music forward with a love of the jazz tradition.
