Endea Owens Feel Good Music. Montreal Jazz Festival.
Jazz’s one of the most vibrant emerging artists, Endea Owens is a Detroit-raised, Juilliard educated (2018). Her band name, the Cookout, is coming from her efforts to serve food and outdoor music to poor neighbourhoods in NYC during pandemic and she continues to do it even now.
She played and learned with the jazz best: from Marcus Belgrave, Rodney Whitaker, Ron Carter to Wynton Marsalis, Diana Ross, Solange, Jazzmeia Horn, Dee Dee Bridgewater. Late Show with Jon Batiste band was her big stepping stone.
The strangest thing is she started with a violin and eventually switched to bass. I would probably go the opposite way, just for the ease of touring. In Montreal she had quintet and two powerful singers with her.
Endea Owens - bandleader, composer, bass; Kris Johnson - trumpet; Louis Fouce - alto sax; Corey Bernhart - keys; Lee Pearson - drums
