Meet the Mixologist: Rowena Kosher!

You might remember Rowena from Epiphany Magazine’s Summer Fete, and they’re returning to The Urbane TONIGHT to mix up some jazzy cocktails for our Summer Jazz Night!

Rowena Kosher (they/them) is a bartender, academic, and freelance consultant based in Brooklyn, NY. They hold a degree from Columbia University in human rights and gender and sexuality studies. Their writing & consulting covers topics including trans menstruation, q***r identity, psychological safety, restorative justice, and neurodiversity. As a bartender, Rowena thrives in the fast-paced, creative, hospitality space—as likely to investigate the art of cocktails as they are to dive into academic literature. Whether social sciences on the page or the social world behind the bar, Rowena values fostering spaces where laughter is abundant, openness is guaranteed, and communities of care thrive. Find them on IG.

Come and sip one of Rowena’s dashing drinks while we stay cool with jazz tonight! Tickets are still available at the link in our bio😎🎷🐝

And the star behind the poster: Leo Johnson of The Leo Johnson Quartet!

Saxophonist Leo Johnson has performed throughout Europe and the U.S. including Birdland in New York City. He recorded and produced two CD’s Leo Johnson- It’s About Time and Message To Mankind. He led his own ensembles through the poignant compositions and arrangements he authored. With an ear open to new talent, Leo has helped to develop young artists who are prominent in today’s jazz scene. Victor Jones, Terrance Blanchard, Andy McCloud, Alan Watson, Michael Clark, Ralph Peterson, the Harper Brothers, the late Woody Shaw and the late David Eubanks are some of the musicians who have participated and developed their talents with the milieu of Leo’s ensemble.
He received three individual proclamations from Mayors Kenneth Gibson and Sharpe James in recognition of his contribution to the arts in Newark, and a fourth as one of Newark’s “Jazz Elders from Governor John Corzine.

Tickets are still available at the link in our bio for the jazz event of the summer — Deborah Thurlow alongside the Leo Johnson Quartet tomorrow night! ✨
