Generation Y, a jazz ensemble anchored by acclaimed drummer Ulysses Owens Jr., are moving ahead with a jazz tribute album to various grunge acts. The latest rendition to spring forth from that collective is their below take on the iconic grunge song “Even Flow“, originally penned by Pearl Jam. That track was the second single to be launched from Pearl Jam‘s 1991 debut album “Ten“, a record which went on to attain diamond status in the United States back in November of 1996. It was last certified 13x platinum in 2009.
Generation Y‘s plans to delve into the grunge genre stemmed from the success they’ve found since teaming up with Musora‘s covers series. That challenge has pitted artists in reworking and covering songs in a single studio session.
This forthcoming tribute album has been titled “Kind Of Grunge“, which is a nod to “Kind Of Blue” — a pivotal 1959 album for late jazz legend Miles Davis.
