Three-time Grammy Award-winning drummer Ulysses Owens Jr. will lead a high-energy big band featuring the top emerging artists in jazz in his thrill ride of a Happy Valley debut.

“I think [big band jazz] can teach us what Dizzy Gillespie talked about, which is you should have one foot in the present, one foot in the past, and one foot in the future. I think my band echoes the past but also presses toward the future, which is what I think people need today.” — Ulysses Owens Jr.
