Comment
"great musician Charles Owens... Support LA's iconic jazz venue!" - Chuck K.
"... tonight... It's going down for real. ONE NIGHT ONLY!" - Sandra Booker
"Booker is raw, real and relentless in her presentation of counter narratives on religion, politics and social justice with sounds and words...she brings the 'joy and pain' in her followup to last year's unforgettable performance. This is World Stage performanceart at its best!"
"THE WORLD STAGE is delighted to have world renown master woodwind musician, Charles Owens perform this evening, Friday, August 12, 2016 (9pm)!! Admission: $20
Owens maintains professional proficiency on tenor, alto, soprano and baritone saxophones, clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon and English horn. His skilled musicianship and rare ability to produce original sounds on all of these instruments places him in demand as a first-call studio musician, a popular nightclub/concert performer, and a jazz artist of international repute.
Owens has toured both nationally and internationally--performed and recorded with an impressive array of artists including Lorenz Alexander, Bobby Bryant, Terry Callier, John Carter, the Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra, Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, Dave Grusin, Eddie Harris, Gladys Knight, James Newton, the Buddy Rich Band, and Barbra Streisand.
Known also for being an incredible saxophone teacher---many a music geek would flash on the names of Owens' sax pupils, such as Azar Lawrence (Earth, Wind & Fire, Miles Davis), Louis Van Taylor (Ray Charles, the Gap Band) and Kamasi Washington (Gerald Wilson, Snoop Dogg).Sharing techniques and experiences with young players expedites their careers and assures that (J)azz will endure!
