Biography
Calvin Owens (April 23, 1929 – February 21, 2008) was an American trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and record producer whose genre-crossing career spanned over six decades. A central figure in the Houston music scene, Owens collaborated with major blues and jazz artists, led his own orchestra, and founded the independent record label, Sawdust Alley Records. He is best remembered for two separate stints as B. B. King's bandleader, extensive recording work with Houston's Peacock Records, and his late-career founding of Sawdust Alley Records.
