Description du concert
Drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr. brings his high-octane Big Band back to Dizzy’s Club. This group is an expansion of the acclaimed New Century Jazz Quintet, which already features five of the best rising star and established musicians from New York City and Japan: Ulysses Owens, Jr., Tim Green, Benny Benack III, Takeshi Ohbayashi, and Yasushi Nakamura. The big band configuration adds 11 worthy instrumentalists to the mix, giving a platform to even more of today’s top voices. The group’s varied repertoire includes originals and a range of tunes by such artists as Terence Blanchard, John Coltrane, and Mulgrew Miller, arranged by a number of talented musicians in the band itself.
The band’s musical selections offers a strong foundation for improvised solos and big band fireworks in the spirit of the great big band drummers Sonny Payne, Buddy Rich, and Mel Lewis—drummers who inspired Ulysses to create his own big band. Special guests for the weekend include rising star jazz vocalist Charles Turner III (Friday–Sunday) and master vibraphonist and educator Stefon Harris (Sunday).

Biographie de Drew Anderson
A native of Richmond, Virginia, Drew began playing the trumpet at the tender age of 6. In 2008 his father, a jazz pianist founded the Richmond Youth Jazz Guild which catapulted Drew's improvisational skills and love for jazz. At 12, Drew was riffing alongside Trombone Shorty and learning from the late Frank Foster. By age 14, Drew had an audience of jazz giants like Quincy Jones and Wynton Marsalis. His apprenticeship in jazz continued as he earned coveted scholarships to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston for three consecutive summers. While attending these summer intensives, Drew further developed under jazz musicians like Terri Lyne Carrington, Phil Wilson, and Tiger Okokshi.
Drew's journey in jazz continued after graduating from high school in 2015. That year, he was selected to participate in the Jazz at Lincoln Center inaugural Summer Jazz Academy. This prestigious program assembled 43 of the nations top high school jazz musicians to learn under Wynton Marsalis and the musicians from the JALC Orchestra. Currently, Drew resides in New York City and attends The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. He is expected to graduate in May 2019.
