Generation Y - это квинтет, состоящий из самых динамичных молодых джазовых музыкантов. Лидер барабанщик Ulysses Owens Jr. обладатель трех премий GRAMMY и это его восьмой альбом. Первые две премии он получил на альбомах Kurt Elling и The Christian McBride Big Band, а в прошлом году за участие в записи альбома Generation Gap, который я обозревал. Он так же работал с Nicholas Payton, Wynton Marsalis, Mulgrew Miller, Joey Alexander и другими джазменами, благодаря чему узнал о наследии великих педагогов Art Blakey и Betty Carter. За последние пять лет карьера Улисса превратилась из «молодого льва» в роль воспитателя нового поколения талантов посредством своей исполнительской, продюсерской и образовательной карьеры. Благодаря своей профессорской работе в Джульярдской школе, он привлекает молодых музыкантов и работая с ними прививает любовь к джазу. Generation Y - динамичная группа, которая передает силу джазовой традиции, показывая, что будущее музыки в надежных руках. На этом альбоме представлен репертуар, который группа исполняла по всему миру за последние 4 года в турне. Альбом был записан в легендарной студии Руди Ван Гелдера в Энглвуде, штат Нью-Джерси, которая была штаб-квартирой многих великих джазовых музыкантов, записывавших альбомы на лейблах Blue Note, Prestige и Impulse. © 2024 Cellar Live И всё-таки я напутал - концовка прозвучала из Bird Lives, а лучшая вещь, которая попадет в мой плейлист Soulful.

El maestro italiano Enrico Pieranunzi "sabe muy bien lo que busca", por lo que al productor del sello Storyville no le vino por sorpresa cuando el pianista le dijo que "no, gracias" a la sugerencia de que añadiera al baterista Ulysses Owens Jr. a su dúo con el contrabajista Thomas Fonnesbæk. Pero Pieranunzi terminó por aceptar y nació así un nuevo trío para dar vida a sus "New visions". Si de Italia y maestros hablamos, cómo obviar al trompetista Enrico Rava. Si hablamos de maestros estadounidenses, cómo obviar al saxofonista Joe Lovano. "Roma" recoge una actuación de ambos en compañía del pianista Giovanni Guidi, el baterista Gerald Cleaver y el contrabajista Dezron Douglas. No es un instrumento común en el ámbito del jazz, por eso llama la atención la música de "Dreamlife of Debris", disco del organista y pianista británico Kit Downes. El órgano se integra con la improvisación en un trabajo en el que colaboran, entre otros, la chelista Lucy Railton y el baterista Sebastian Rochford. Todo tiene un final en la vida, también lo tuvo la fascinante integración del saxofonista noruego Jan Garbarek en el cuerpo vocal generado por los cuatro miembros del Hilliard Ensemble, el cuarteto vocal británico con quien 25 años atrás Garbarek presentó un disco histórico: "Officium". Su despedida en 2014, ahora recogida en "Remember me, my dear". El intérprete de tuba, Joseph Daley, puso música a los siete pecados capitales en "The seven deadly sins". Publicado originalmente en 2011, acaba de ser reeditado y lo presenta al frente de una orquesta bautizada como Earth Tones Ensemble. Toda la información y derechos: http://www.elclubdejazz.com

Ulysses Owens Jr. has firmly established his place in drums, from his work as a jazz drummer, educator, and author of his upcoming Hal Leonard publication on brushes. Lauded in publications like Jazz Times, All About Jazz, and The New York Times, Ulysses reputation is well deserved and firmly secured. Keeping a busy schedule of touring, workshops, recording, producing and teaching, the Grammy award winning Owens, well known for his work with the Christian McBride Trio, remains gracious and humble, always looking to help his fellow artists, giving back the lessons he’s learned. Case in point – Owens is artistic director for Don’t Miss a Beat, Inc., a youth-empowerment non profit founded by his family in his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. We caught up with Ulysses on the same day he was flying to a gig in the UK. He happily shared with us his thoughts on drum education, his new Hal Leonard book on brushes, his upcoming book on the music business, and thoughts on the importance of becoming a good listener and taking the time to get back to the basics.

Ulysses Owens, Jr. shows you how to keep time on the snare using a technique from one of the great innovators of jazz drums: Baby Dodds.For full lessons with Ulysses Owens, Jr., check out Open Studio Network: https://www.openstudionetwork.com/project/fyb-overview/========================================================This is Ulysses Owens, Jr. with Two Minute Jazz. We're going to talk about a guy by the name of Warren "Baby" Dodds. Baby Dodds was one of the first great jazz drummers that really started out jazz swing drums. But, because the sound of the drums and jazz drums had not evolved yet with the ride cymbal, he created playing time and keeping time with this cool pattern, that comes out of the New Orleans rhythm on the snare drum.The cool thing is he's taking a quarter note, a buzz roll, and he's making that groove, alright?Also, he had wood blocks. He had some other auxiliary percussion as a part of his drum kit, and he would make it sound like this.Then, you get to the swing drum era and with that era you start playing on the hi-hat.But none of that would be possible if not for Baby Dodds introducing this.Check out Baby Dodds 'cause it all began with him.========================================================Website: https://www.openstudionetwork.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyopenstudioTwitter: https://twitter.com/HeyOpenStudioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/OpenStudioNetwork/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Ulysses Owens, Jr. shows the techniques he uses when playing at a fast tempo.For full lessons with Ulysses Owens, Jr., check out Open Studio Network: https://www.openstudionetwork.com/project/fyb-overview/========================================================Two-Minute Jazz with Ulysses Owen, Jr. We're gonna talk about playing fast.The key to playing fast is playing slow first. There's nothing that I can play fast that I can't first play slow. When you learn how to play slow, you learn the right placement, right? So you get on the ride symbol, you consistently play in the same position, you learn how to feather, the hi-hat on two and four.But there is a little secret that many don't talk about that helps you to play fast. That's something called breathing. When I play fast at a fast tempo, I'm always breathing, and the more that I breathe, the more that I can stay relaxed while playing fast.Another thing is using your hands and your wrists and keeping the mobility in those hands and wrists depends on very much on being able to breathe, okay? So, I'll start slow and then play faster and faster, but watch my breathing change.And the key thing about breathing is that you have to breathe more often the faster you play. The other thing is you have to play more simple. When you play fast, you have to focus on what is the rhythm I'm gonna play on the ride symbol, how am I gonna accompany that with the hi-hat and the bass drum, and you get tighter and you get more simpler, and you just relax the body, and that way you can play fast.Playin' fast, but you can play fast if you learn how to play slow.========================================================Website: https://www.openstudionetwork.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyopenstudioTwitter: https://twitter.com/HeyOpenStudioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/OpenStudioNetwork/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ulysses Owens, Jr. demonstrates the essentials of what it takes to play the drums with brushes.#2minjazz #ulysses #owens #openstudio #jazz #drums #tutorial #brushes========================================================(rhythmic drums beating)(hi-hat clinking)(brushes tapping)(brushes sweeping)- The brushes are my favorite thing to play. It's one of the most sensitive ways to play as a drummer and it's one of the coolest ways to really create amazing textures. When you play the brushes, there's a couple different rules that you have to apply by, but ultimately you can still make great music. The first rule is, left hand. Left hand is your sweeping hand, like a broom. You sweep, one, two, three, four. One, two, a-uh, uh, uh.(brush sweeping and tapping)This is with an accent. This is without an accent.(brush sweeping)We'll go back to the accent.(brush sweeping and tapping)Then you can take that right hand with the same spang-a-lang pattern you played in the right hand with the ride cymbal, you add that to the center of the drum, like this.(drum beating)(brush tapping)(brush sweeping)Then you can add the hi-hat in,(hi-hat clinking)(brush tapping)(brush sweeping)Then a little bit of bass drum.(Bass drum booming)Then sometimes you can add some fill.(rhythmic drums beating)(brushes sweeping and tapping)The cool thing about the brushes is that they're really used with great singers. You can use them in certain arrangements with big band. You can use them even in certain arrangements with horn players or you can just use them to play softer. For younger drummers and drummers that are playing around locally, you can use them in different venues, whether it's a restaurant gig, or club gig or whatever, but it's an art form that you've gotta really check out. There's some great drummers to check out, Vernel Fournier, Papa Jo Jones, Kenny Clarke, Elvin Jones and so many others. But I really love the brushes because it's a way to find your own, creative sound. And I have a lot of fun playing the brushes, but you've gotta really make sure you check out the brushes and make sure that you know how to play the brushes by themselves and with the hi-hat. So like this,(drum beating)(brushes sweeping and tapping)(hi-hat clinking)and also like this(drum beating)(brushes sweeping and tapping)(drum booming)So again the brushes are a great thing to have fun with and it's a great way and a true part of the jazz tradition of being a jazz drummer. I love the brushes.(fast, rhythmic, percussion music playing)(percussion playing)(melodic piano playing)========================================================For full lessons with Ulysses Owens, check out Open Studio Network: https://www.openstudionetwork.com/project/fyb-overview/Website: https://www.openstudionetwork.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyopenstudioTwitter: https://twitter.com/HeyOpenStudioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/OpenStudioNetwork/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Ulysses Owens, Jr. shows how to play a foundational drum pattern in jazz: the spang a lang.#2minjazz #ulysses #owens #openstudio #jazz #drums #tutorial #spangalang========================================================(fast cymbals jazz beat) Hi, I'm Ulysses Owens, Jr. with Two-Minute Jazz. Spang-a-lang. That is the pattern that swing, jazz rhythm was born out of. Spang-a-lang, spang-a-lang, spang-a-lang.(plays drums to the rhythm)If you break down the quarter note, one, two, three, four.(plays rim of snare)Two, three, four.(plays rim of snare)High hat on two and four.(plays rim of snare)(adds high hat)There's a rhythm called the triplet.(plays a triplet on snare drum)Out of the triplet comes the spang-a-lang pattern.(plays spang-a-lang pattern)You transfer that to the ride cymbal, and a great drummer by the name of Kenny Clarke is the one that invented that pattern, spang-a-lang pattern. Sounds like this.(plays spang-a-lang pattern)The cool thing about the spang-a-lang pattern, when it is played appropriately and in the right way, it can move the band and empower the band to swing harder than anything possible. When you're not playing it right, it may sound a little bit like this.(plays quarter notes on cymbal)Just playing quarter notes, or, (plays 8th notes on cymbal) just 8th notes.(plays jazz rhythm with heavy, fast cymbal)Playing too many notes. It's only when you get that pattern, spang-a-lang, over and over again, you create a groove and then have that repetition, that really makes it something that people can hold on to. Like this.(plays spang-a-lang rhythm)My favorite is playing some up-tempo spang-a-lang.(plays fast spang-a-lang rhythm)Spang-a-lang is where's it at, and that's how you can really maximize your sound as a drummer. Spang-a-lang.(jazz piano and drum music)========================================================For full lessons with Ulysses Owens, check out Open Studio Network: https://www.openstudionetwork.com/project/fyb-overview/Website: https://www.openstudionetwork.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyopenstudioTwitter: https://twitter.com/HeyOpenStudioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/OpenStudioNetwork/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Having fun with rudiments: I'm taking a really cool rudiment by the name of "Five Stroke Roll." One two three four five. (rhythmic drumming) And having fun with it, taking it around the kit. A lot of times as young drummers, even older drummers, experienced drummers, whatever part of the drummer thing you fall into, we all get bored and we wonder, man what do I do with these rudiments? Especially the 28 Essential Rudiments. So one of those 28 Essential Rudiments being the "Five Stroke." Like how do I move that around the kit? Once I've learned it what do I do with it? So I like to explore and experiment and I'm gonna do that right now with the rudiment. So I will play it for you again.(rhythmic drumming) A little faster.(frantic drumming)You can try different things like: (rhythmic drumming) Five stroke roll. Take it around the kit, play it with the cymbals. Play it in any way you want. Just keep moving forward with it. Create a continual rhythm around it. Create continual phrases andfills and setups around it, but just keep pushing the boundaries and using that rudiment, and never tiring of it, and figuring out how can you explore and have fun with it. So(rhythmic drumming) Have fun with the rudiments.===================================================================================For full comprehensive courses from Ulysses Owens, check out Finding Your Beat at Open Studio today. ---> Watch on YouTube See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This is Ulysses Owens Jr. with Two-Minute Jazz. Playing in the Sweet Spot. The sweet spot is that place on the drum set where every sound is in the right place. So, on the ride cymbal, it's right in the meaty part of the cymbal like this (cymbal).With the snare drum is in the center of the drum like this (drum beat). On the tile like this (tap) on the floor top like this (boom).When you play consistently in the sweet spot that is where the best sound of the drums and the cymbal come out when you're playing in other parts of the drum set is very inconsistent and it's not full. So you've got to always make sure you play in the sweet spot like this. This is not the sweet spot. (shallow percussive sounds) So when you're playing on the edges of the drums you're not getting the best sound. It's only when you're playing in the center of the drum, that you're getting the best sound. Same thing with the cymbal.That's the meaty part. Same thing. Same thing here with the high hat. So, you got to make sure you know where the sweet spot is and where it's not so that you can always consistently play in the sweet spot. ===================================================Be sure to check out Ulysses Owens Jr.'s full length course "Finding Your Beat" at Open Studio.

Ali played with John Coltrane and Coltrane's late wife, Alice Coltrane. We'll play some of Ulysses' favorite Rashied tracks along with some of my Ulysses's favorites, from his latest, "U.O. Project 'It's Time for U." "It's Time" is a wonderful work featuring vocals as well as instrumental work, all peppered with Owens' distinctive or perhaps the correct term is signature percussion. We'll take calls if you want to share Rashied Ali memories or reflections. We played music from a number of albums, many from: "No One In Particular" Rashied Ali Quintet featuring:Ravi Coltrane on saxes, Gene Ess on guitar, Greg Murphy on piano, Matt Garrison on bass and the unstoppable spirit of Rashied Ali on drums.
