One of the most sought-after drummers of his generation, Owens sets
the mark. Multi GRAMMY Award winning Drummer and Percussionist
Ulyssess Owens Jr, will be performing with the faculty of the Memphis
Jazz Workshop.From GRAMMY-award winning performances with Christian
McBride’s acclaimed Trio and 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’s reverence for tradition distinctly
manifests in his straight-away playing style, but it is the
versatility of his talent— his unique ability to manipulate texture
and create penetrating musical shapes— that attracts the attention
of jazz’s heavy hitters. His performance catalog includes
collaborations with Nicholas Payton, Wynton Marsalis, Monty Alexander,
Dianne Schuur, Russell Malone, Renee Fleming and Mulgrew Miller, just
to name a few.
