NBX presents Matt Ulery Nonet at Warren Hall

Since the release of his monumental double LP By A Little Light (2012), composer/bassist/bandleader Matt Ulery has quietly established himself as an icon at the intersection of Chicago jazz and contemporary composition. His latest, Mannerist (2023), takes his work to new heights, elegantly orchestrating a cohort of woodwinds and brass over his core trio of bass, piano (Paul Bedal), and drums (John Deitemyer). While ‘calm with a soulful undertow’ and ‘a tour-de-force crash course on everything Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus’ (All About Jazz), perhaps our favorite aspect of Ulery’s compositions is the cool, confident, sheer beauty. Hear Matt Ulery and his nine-piece ensemble at this very special one-night appearance at Warren Hall.
