Detroit-born Endea Owens is one of the hottest artists on the new American jazz scene. Graduating from the prestigious Juilliard School in 2018, she joined Stephen Colbert’s Late Show band, and developed prestigious collaborations, notably with Jon Batiste or Winton Marsalis; and because she lives fully in her time, she created “The Community Cookout”, a non-profit organization that distributes meals and organizes free concerts in New York’s underprivileged neighborhoods. Immerse yourself in a world of moving melodies and rhythmic dynamism designed to make your heart dance and your mind soar.

“When swing mingles with sentiment, it draws you into a dance that spans the ages… The musicians enjoy arranging jazz standards and more popular pieces in an inspired and lively way to convey their passion for the words of love.
We invite you into a romance where drums as refined as lace, a silky double bass and a delicate guitar work to create a subdued setting. All that’s missing is an enchanting voice to enchant you.
And if we added a trumpet…”.
