Endea Owens and The Cookout: Tiny Desk Concert
‘One of the most exciting voices in the next generation of jazz’ — NPR
Melbourne International Jazz Festival presents two special summertime performances from US bassist, composer and bandleader Endea Owens, and her high-octane ensemble, The Cookout.
A GRAMMY, Emmy and Peabody Award winner and former Late Show with Stephen Colbert band member, Endea Owens was mentored by jazz icons Ron Carter, Wynton Marsalis and Marcus Belgrave, and has played alongside everyone from Diana Ross and Dee Dee Bridgewater to Jon Batiste and Solange.
Enjoy a night of soul-stirring jazz from an ensemble described by NPR as “literally sparkling” with “masterful playing and exuberant charm”.
