OF CALVIN OWENS" , on Sawdust Alley Records.
The year 2001 MARK THE DEBUT "THE BEST OF CALVIN OWENS" a thirteen-track CD highlighting the most recent evolution of the diverse artistry of master trumpeter, band leader, singer, composer, arranger, and producer Calvin Owens.

What holds this far-reaching package together: Every track features the hard-driving, technically precise trumpet playing for which Owens is already well known among generations of music fans, complemented by the tight orchestration of his talented big band.
Now in his seventh decade, trumpet maestro Owens started out playing with some of the biggest names in blues and jazz, dating back to his first gigs in the 1940s. Most notably he did two long tours of duty with B. B. King, serving as "B. B.'s first music director" during the 1953-57 affiliation and then as bandleader for King's orchestra from 1978 until 1984. Among the results of their collaboration was a 1983 Grammy Award-winning album called Blues 'n' Jazz, for which Owens wrote all the arrangements.
"THE BEST OF CALVIN OWENS" CD issued by Sawdust Alley Records, the production company Owens formed over ten years ago as he began to pursue his own artistic projects. Previous titles, in order of release, include True Blue, That's Your Booty, the Spanish-language collaboration with singer Norma Zenteno Es Tu Booty, and Another Concept.
"THE BEST OF CALVIN OWENS" demonstrates again that Owens is a vital presence in American music, a true maestro whose work bridges past and present, constantly evolving beyond simple genre boundaries to define a truly unique sound.
