Ulysses Owens, Jr. THREE CD release
Jazz at Lincoln Center
With drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr., bassist Reuben Rogers, vibraphonist Joel Ross, and vocalist Vuyo Sotashe
In just the past few years, Ulysses Owens, Jr. has performed at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola with artists including Christian McBride, Joey Alexander, Steve Wilson, Mulgrew Miller, Steve Nelson, the Swing Collective, and the New Century Jazz Quintet. Already one of today’s most high-profile sidemen, this Grammy Award winner and DownBeat Rising Star has recently stepped into a leadership role and assembled some top-shelf groups. We’re lucky to have him back for another album release event at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. Owens’ new group features the well-established bassist Reuben Rogers and two of New York’s most in-demand rising stars: vibraphonist Joel Ross and vocalist Vuyo Sotashe.
