JAZZ: CHARLES OWENS TRIO
Charles Owens is an internationally acclaimed tenor saxophonist, composer, and recording artist whose 35-year career reflects both technical mastery and deep musical devotion. A defining voice of the New York jazz generation that emerged from The New School and Smalls Jazz Club in the 1990s, Owens came of age in the city’s late-night clubs and remains a vital presence on its stages today, leading ensembles at Smoke, Smalls, The Blue Note, and beyond.
With 15 albums as a leader, and a prolific body of work as a soloist, composer, and educator, Owens approaches his craft with a simple philosophy: to serve the music. In 2025 he released The Late Night Sessions on La Réserve Records, a six-album box set drawn from live quartet recordings at Smalls Jazz Club in 2003.
Following a memorable debut at Nine Orchard in 2024, Owens returns to the hotel for a special evening of music as part of his ongoing work with the Charles Owens Trio, whose next studio album is slated for release in 2026.
