Nu Zeta – Progressive Jazz from a New Generation

Nu Zeta is a forward-thinking jazz ensemble led by saxophonist and composer Tyler Waltner. Formed by students at the Eastman School of Music, the group blends tradition with innovation—drawing on jazz, soul, groove, and modern influences to create a sound that’s fresh, expressive, and deeply rooted in musical communication.

Nu Zeta performs original music alongside reimagined classics, offering a versatile set tailored to each event—from intimate gatherings to larger stages. At its core, the band is about connection: between musicians, with audiences, and through the lineage of the music they love.
