Three‑time Grammy® Award–winning drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr. has earned a reputation as a powerhouse musician who, as The New York Times notes, “takes a back seat to no one” and “balances excitement gracefully while shining with innovation.” A dynamic performer, producer, and educator, Owens moves fluidly across the jazz landscape and beyond, continually expanding his artistic reach. For this performance, Owens brings his electrifying “Generation Y” Band, featuring some of today’s most compelling young jazz voices – a group known for its fire, finesse, and forward‑looking sound.
With eight acclaimed albums as a leader, Owens has also garnered major recognition for his contributions to Grammy®‑winning projects by Kurt Elling and The Christian McBride Big Band. His versatility, precision, and unmistakable swing have made him one of the most sought‑after drummers of his generation.
This marks the debut of Ulysses Owens, Jr.’s for Gold Coast Jazz and will be an evening you won’t want to miss.
