Works from the album "Feel Good Music", among others
With her funky double bass style, Detroit-born bassist, composer and bandleader Endea Owens, who trained at New York's Juilliard School, is one of the most promising young talents on the American jazz scene. Encouraged by mentors such as Marcus Belgrave, Rodney Whitaker and Ron Carter, Owens has played her way into the limelight at her own pace. She has performed with greats such as Wynton Marsalis, Jennifer Holliday, Diana Ross and Solange and played in Jon Batiste's "Stay Human", the house band of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert". She has now released her debut album "Feel Good Music" as a solo artist with her band The Cookout. With roots in the jazz of the swinging sixties and seventies, the album captivates as a universe of soulful melodies and rhythmic dynamics in which the powerful, passionate double bassist is firmly at the center. With passion and dedication, Endea Owens conjures up a groovy mixture of jazz, gospel, swing and neo-soul energy that makes the heart dance and the spirit vibrate.
