Ulysses Owens Jr. | Harlem Harlem Harlem | Single
The Ulysses Owens Jr Big Band, at the time of their live recording billed as the ‘New Century Jazz Big Band’, received tremendous praise, reportedly even giving Wynton Marsalis and The Lincoln Center Orchestra’s performance in the Rose Hall a “worthy run for their money”. Recorded live at Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center in early December 2019, Harlem Harlem Harlem - the newest single from the upcoming album "Soul Conversations" - captures a jubilant performance from the big band, documenting the electricity of a large ensemble that expertly balances excitement with subtlety, and polish with unbridled innovation.
