The last time Ulysses visited Drumeo, we challenged him to make up his own drum part for "In Bloom" by Nirvana. This time, he brought his jazz ensemble, Generation Y, for a brand new challenge where they reinvisioned a Nirvana track on the spot. Watch as the band works together to come up with an incredible cover! Let us know what you think!

0:00 in a moment we're going to play you a 0:02 song uh and it's going to be your 0:04 challenge to reimagine the song as An 0:08 instrumental jazz piece I know you I we 0:10 don't have a ton of time cuz I know you 0:12 got a gig tonight so yeah we got we got 0:13 to go and actually play like a jazz gig 0:16 does anyone know what the what is the 0:18 song what is it you know I don't 0:25 know dude 0:35 [Music] 0:38 Hey so uh I brought a friend today okay 0:41 yeah 0:45 oh what's up dude what's up Brandon how 0:49 are you doing I'm good man I'm better 0:52 now that I see you are you ready for uh 0:54 some more torture let's do it I I now 0:57 have friends with me that be 0:58 collectively tortured have you uh have 1:00 you told them how torturous the first 1:02 time was I'm playing 1:08 Nirvana have you heard that song before 1:12 no that is insane really oh that's Fu 1:16 this all 1:18 up well all I can tell you uh Ron has 1:20 something pretty special planned but 1:22 this is going to be a hell of a lot 1:25 worse godp speed to all of you 1:30 we go we go okay so uh in a moment we're 1:33 going to play you song all right and 1:36 it's going to be your challenge to 1:38 reimagine the song as An instrumental 1:41 jazz piece okay okay so you're going to 1:43 have complete creative freedom to change 1:45 chords rhythms tempos anything you want 1:48 cool um but you got to make it like 1:50 Uniquely Yours how much time we 1:53 got we could be here all day the timer 1:57 starts now we don't have a ton of time 1:59 cuz I know you got a gig tonight so yeah 2:00 we got we got to go and actually play 2:02 like a jazz game that's right so there's 2:04 a bit of pressure but uh you can listen 2:07 as many times as you want but I want it 2:09 to be yours do you have any inkling 2:11 about what song this might 2:12 be nope okay you ready you want to hear 2:16 it yes okay here we go 2:21 [Music] 2:30 she has me like 2:32 a 2:34 well I am 2:38 with 2:41 hey I 2:42 [Music] 2:45 got your 2:48 [Music] 2:52 [Applause] 2:56 [Music] 3:00 does anyone know what the what is the 3:01 song what is it Heart-Shaped Box by of 3:05 course right Heart-Shaped Box by you 3:08 know I don't know 3:09 I'm serious this should be a 3:12 familiar band to you man we've had this 3:15 conversation on the first 3:17 video if it's kabu I got you here come 3:20 the haters here come the trolls right 3:22 now ulyses yes you you knew this was 3:25 coming I knew it was coming I so is this 3:28 is it can I guess is this Nirvana this 3:29 is 3:30 nirvana we figured if you can do it you 3:33 might as well be able to do it with your 3:34 band so here we are you can thank Ron 3:37 for this hey and and for the for those 3:39 that are checking it out this guilty by 3:41 association that's the only reason why I 3:42 guessed 3:43 it I did not know this before we did it 3:47 today but I can't say that for Thomas 3:49 Thomas was singing along he was like he 3:51 was rocking out over 3:52 there so the question so the question 3:56 for the cats which direction do we do we 3:58 want to go Thomas can you play that bass 3:59 line so one so here one 4:05 two i b like Balo bab oh get oh you go 4:13 [Applause] 4:13 [Music] 4:25 yeah yeah 4:28 [Music] 4:38 [Music] 4:42 whatever 4:45 there and then the I think course and 4:48 then the course and 4:52 then yeah 4:56 [Music] 5:02 [Music] 5:06 yeah something so I'm 5:09 thinking I think that fi might be so we 5:12 could do it that way I think that's the 5:14 easiest or we could or if y'all want to 5:16 swing it but I think the easiest that 5:18 will sound the best I don't know what do 5:21 yall what do y'all say I think that that 5:22 works that's the like that's like 5:24 different it's the easiest translation 5:26 still sounds like the S like I wasn't 5:28 even hearing it s the only other thing I 5:30 I would have heard it as was like a 5:32 Elven kind of like you know like a like 5:34 a train Elven kind of 5:36 thing yeah so like like what like what 5:41 tempo 5:43 though like what tempo 5:47 B oh 5:50 [Music] 5:55 so we can go into that we can go into 5:59 that we can start with the way we can 6:01 start the the way we had it and then go 6:03 into that that's kill start with like 6:04 the Eddie Harris and then go into that 6:07 yeah yeah cuz I think at the end like 6:08 where it kind of gets open I I do want 6:10 to put some swing in 6:11 there come on man we jazz on the course 6:14 it's like 12 bars and then it goes to 6:16 that ding ding is that I'm asking you I 6:19 I thought it was twice I mean I'm 6:21 unclear on the form I just know the one 6:23 Melody line and then the part that's 6:24 like 6:26 bowow I'm trying to figure out when it 6:28 goes to the ding 6:30 one chorus one chorus solo and then 6:34 chorus or one so uh and and Thomas when 6:38 you take stuff out front like go go off 6:41 you know like in the very beginning you 6:43 know do some and then we just going to 6:45 like Fade Out is it going to be like a 6:47 fade out or 6:48 like over the the end yeah I think so we 6:51 do a board fade yeah do a board Fade All 6:53 right so let's let's try to figure out 6:55 this version all right y'all we're going 6:56 we're going to try to do our version so 6:58 two times through the whole thing and 7:00 then we blow yeah then we blow then drum 7:02 then we take it out drums over that Vamp 7:04 you when y take it out are y'all Point 7:06 y'all poting the head out and then how 7:08 many times are you going to do the 7:08 course before I start soloing just once 7:10 we get there you start soling so yeah 7:13 when y when y'all get to that just Loop 7:15 it and when you're done ceue it and then 7:18 transition into the swing and then 7:19 whatever all right so before we get to 7:21 that final take I just want to let you 7:23 know that here at mizor we believe that 7:25 everyone would be better off if they 7:27 played a musical instrument so we're 7:29 giving giving away a 7-Day free

10:08 [Applause] 10:10 [Music] 10:27 [Applause] 10:29 [Music] 10:42 he 10:44 [Music] 10:59 a 11:01 [Music] 11:35 [Applause] 11:38 [Music] 11:51 [Applause] 11:54 a 11:56 [Applause] 11:59 ah 12:02 [Music] 12:17 [Music] 12:37 [Music] 13:15 [Applause] 13:18 la 13:19 [Music] 13:58 well I think we got it 13:59 [Laughter] 14:03 okay you got to sum up that experience 14:05 for the viewers how did that 14:07 feel uh to be completely honest it felt 14:10 incredible I was I was I don't get 14:12 nervous often cuz especially when I'm in 14:14 a company of my band like they're some 14:16 of the most brilliant musicians that I 14:18 know on the planet which is why I've 14:19 asked them to play with me but I was 14:22 nervous cuz I know you guys throw a lot 14:23 of things at people uh conceptually and 14:27 so I was really wondering like I don't 14:29 know what they're going to do but how is 14:30 it going to fit into the 14:32 context of what we do right cuz there's 14:34 all this thing you know there's all 14:36 these conversations like even since I've 14:37 been with dromeo like oh you're a jazz 14:39 guy you should know or you're a jazz guy 14:41 why are you doing this so I was 14:42 wondering like whatever you were going 14:43 to give us is it going to mesh with who 14:46 we already are or how we show up 14:47 musically and what I'm really Amazed by 14:50 is how the two fit together very well 14:52 like we took an incredible song an 14:53 incredible band incredible concept and 14:55 we just messed it with who we already 14:57 are and our skill of being a jazz 14:59 musician so I I'm loving it man that 15:02 that was so much fun man this this is 15:04 incredible thank you 15:08 [Music]
