Within Us reconvenes Owen’s vibrant 19-piece big band along with special guest vibraphonist Warren Wolf to commemorate the band’s silver anniversary and the resolute spirit that steered it through the past year
“Owen writes with seductive rhythms in mind and sets aside ample room for earnest blowing by a number of splendid soloists. Grammy voters, have your pens and pencils ready – again.”
– Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
“[E]pisodic, dramatic and picturesque. Owen deserves to be ranked high among today’s composers/arrangers.” – Scott Yanow, New York City Jazz Record
