Bassist Endea Owens Cooks Up Jazz For The Community

'If you know of Endea Owens, there's a good chance you know her as house bassist for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Her role in that setting is foundational, laying the groove that gives bandleader Jon Batiste room to soar. But there's another way Owens holds it down at street level, and it reflects a conviction flowing out of her own experience. On Jazz Night in America, we hear the young bassist Owens with Wynton Marsalis, Jon Batiste and trace her Detroit roots to learn how she's giving back to her community with free meals and free concerts on the street.'
