    About Big Band Afrobeat to Afrobeats: Ulysses Owens Jr.

    Big Band Afrobeat to Afrobeats: Ulysses Owens Jr. is a large-ensemble jazz project led by drummer and bandleader Ulysses Owens Jr., presented in New York City at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Built for a full big band, the program traces rhythmic links between Afrobeat traditions and contemporary Afrobeats, using jazz orchestration as the bridge. Vocalist and bassist Michael Olatuja appears as a featured collaborator on the bill. The performances favor groove and ensemble discipline over spectacle.
