The Vermont Jazz Center presents Endea Owens fronting her sextet, The Cookout. Owens is the bassist propelling The Late Show house band with swinging, low-end grooves.
The Emmy & Grammy-winning Detroit native is a graduate of Juilliard who has toured & performed with Wynton Marsalis, Diana Ross, Jon Batiste, Dee Dee Bridgewater, & many others.
Impressed by the intensity & fullness of Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers as a youth, Owens seeks to emulate the big sound he attained by performing with a sextet rather than a smaller, more intimate group.
She noted, “I wanted to honor his legacy.” Owens’ sextet includes herself on upright bass, Diego Ramirez (drums), Anthony Hervey (trumpet), Irwin Hall (saxophone), Mathis Picard (piano), & Nia Drummond (vocals).
