“Excellent writing, splendid musicianship, and memorable solos . . . Within Us is a gem.” – Richard Kamins, Step Tempest
“Nothing, not even a pandemic that silenced and stupefied most artists into submission, could tamp down Owen and his ensemble’s cinematic majesty. If you listen closely, you can hear Chuck Owen’s heart and soul.” – Carol Banks Weber, Festival Peak
“If you love big bands then this is for you. If you don’t love big bands then this is even more so for you.” – Be-bop Spoken Here
“It kills—brimming with a vivid array of colors (including violin and dobro) and shifting dynamics. . . . . at once challenging and eminently listenable, . . . .a seamless stream of grabby melodies and solos. – Eric Snider, Creative Loafing
“ . . . a joy and an inspiration, hands-down one of the top ten jazz albums of the year.” – delarue, NY Music Daily / Lucid Culture
