ENDEA OWENS & THE COOKOUT

WAVE HILL, BRONX / JUNE 26, 7 PM

Hailed as one of jazz’s most vibrant rising stars, Detroit-born bassist Endea Owens has carved a path shaped by mentorship from legends Rodney Whitaker and Ron Carter. A GRAMMY and Emmy Award winner, she’s best known for her work with the Stay Human band on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and she’s earned widespread respect performing alongside greats like Wynton Marsalis, Diana Ross, Jon Batiste and Dee Dee Bridgewater. Endea leads The Cookout, her dynamic ensemble that fuses jazz, soul, hard bop, and global influences into rhythmically rich, joy-filled performances. Her debut album, Feel Good Music, lives up to its name – delivering groove, uplift, and heart. A Juilliard School alum with undeniable stage presence, Endea brings her signature energy to Carnegie Hall Citywide for a free outdoor concert at Wave Hill. It’s sure to be a spirited celebration of community, rhythm, and summer soundscapes. Don’t miss it! RDG
