Charles met Houston Ross, midway through 2000's first decade, on the bandstand of a Charlottesville funk/fusion guitarist, Matthew Willner. Houston was immediately impressed, telling Mike that he hadn't heard a local horn player on that level since Leroi Moore. The internationally acclaimed Owens, born in 1972 and not to be confused with his older, more famous, tenor saxophone namesake, attended such arts institutions as Virginia's Duke Ellington School for the Arts, Miami's New World School of the Arts, and New York's New School Jazz Program. After a period of intense study, apprenticeships, and self-reflection, Charles struck out on his own by leading his own groups. Charles played a weekly Friday night gig at New York City jazz clubt, Smalls and appeared regularly at many legendary NYC nightspots, including Sweet Basil, Chicago Blues, The Blue Note, The Zinc Bar, and Birdland.
Owens also found himself touring the world, a cross-cultural educational experience
