2026 will see the 5yr anniversary release of Owens’ 10 YEARS, a vibrant album that showcases the Trio’s ability to weave through an eclectic mix of genres, blending afrobeat, jazz ballads, and psychedelic rock with unrelenting energy and technical finesse. At its core, 10 Years is a jubilant commemoration of the Trio’s long-standing chemistry. Recorded in a marathon six-hour session, the album exudes spontaneity and authenticity. Saxophonist Charles Owens, bassist Andrew Randazzo, and drummer Devonne Harris crafted a tracklist that pays homage to formative influences, weaving nostalgic resonance with fresh interpretations.

The album opens with “Cameron the Wise,” an electrifying afrobeat tune that has long been a crowd-pleaser in live settings. From there, the Trio traverses a dynamic musical landscape: Owens' soulful take on John Coltrane’s “Central Park West” contrasts beautifully with the fiery intensity of Jimi Hendrix’s “If 6 Was 9.” Randazzo shines with his melodic sensibilities on Anita Baker’s “Caught Up in the Rapture” and delivers an intricate solo on Jaco Pastorius’ “Continuum.” Harris, meanwhile, demonstrates his remarkable versatility, blending swing, funk, and blistering solos on pieces like Duke Ellington’s “Angelica.”

The interplay between the musicians is nothing short of magical, reflecting their years of shared experiences on the bandstand. Owens describes the recording session as a moment of vulnerability, supported by the unshakable trust and synergy of his bandmates. The result is a cohesive yet adventurous collection of tracks that feel deeply personal and universally resonant.

10 YEARS is more than a celebration of longevity—it’s a testament to the Trio’s commitment to pushing musical boundaries while staying rooted in heartfelt expression. The album appeals to jazz enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates music brimming with soul, groove, and unbridled passion.
