Tyler Bullock II intends to transmit positive energy through the music that he and his band members produce. Similar to the way that Tyler’s favorite musicians such John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock have uplifted and inspired him with their work, Tyler strives to use his own original voice as a composer and pianist to raise people’s spirits. Through combining his continuous study of the lineage of jazz with his own fresh perspective, Tyler weaves powerful musical narratives in his compositions that serve as a framework for his group to unleash their creativity and reach the audience on a spiritual level.
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Tyler has worked with Sean Jones, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Bruce Williams, Herlin Riley, Willie Jones III, Sherman Irby, Ulysses Owens Jr., Curtis Lundy, The Roy Hargrove Big Band, and many others since moving to New York City to study at The Juilliard School in 2021. He has been the regular pianist with the Roy Hargrove Big Band since 2022, and he recently recorded with Sean Jones for an upcoming album.
Joining Tyler at the Jazz Gallery are some of his closest friends and favorite musicians to share the bandstand with. He and his group are excited to share the sound they have been developing and to take the audience with them on a musical journey.
