Tight, talented ensemble. Every now and again I hear old people like me say something negative about the current state and/or future of jazz. I just shake my head and think they must not be paying attention. Jazz is in very good hands indeed.

I grew up in the era of R and B but got introduced to Jazz by my dad. I went to college with a lot of kids from New York, Jersey, and Philly. They liked R and B but they were heavy into Jazz (Miles, Pharaoh Sanders, Gary Bart’s, Sun Ra, Herbie Hancock, etc.). That is when I really developed a liking for it.

I haven't heard Jazz this electric in a very long time. It's also a plus getting to watch the band play and their passion rolling out of their bodies, into instruments and out to us. Endea, you and your band are magnificence. Thank you for your music and shout-out to TDC for giving them this space. 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Uploaded a minute ago and already a classic

Endea Owens is beauty personified. She is beautiful, but very natural and Earthy in her presentation. She and the Cookout band are extraordinary. Musicianship second to none. I enjoyed and was blessed by every minute of this presentation and not a day goes by that I am not listening or driving to this divine musicality.

"What does it mean to be a conduit of the arts? A vessel of the music?" I love to hear this! I'm so, so glad to hear that Julliard has exactly the right attitude towards music. In my opinion music is a "sacred" mission, for lack of a better word.

This lady is the future. Incredible bass player. 🙏🏽

We have lost so many of the elders of jazz. So, yes. We need a bright future! 🌞

I love Endea, a vessel of music joyful and exalting, she plays with her soul, pokes a hole in my miseries, heals me and makes me whole, her ensemble rolls with her on climbing and falling notes, on horns, drums and the key board, thrilling me I have the gift of ears and tears.

Thank you for working to keep jazz alive and well. This band is tight. The music is so beautiful. I don't know your plans but I hope it involves more of the same with this same band of musicians. Much respect.

I just stumbled onto this live concert, and man I was really impressed by the tight arrangments and individual talent of all of the players. They remind me of that era of jazz from the early to mid-sixties in particular, Wayne Shorter’s albums “See No Evil” and “Ju Ju”.
