Today Jazz singer and performer Judith Owen is releasing 'Why Don't You Do Right?', the fourth single and focus track of her latest studio album, "Come On & Get It", out now on Twanky Records.

"'Why Don’t You Do Right' is like having Gene Krupa, Rita Hayworth, and Cab Calloway, all wrapped up in a sexy 1940's bow...(look them up if you don't know!)" - says Judith.

Judith Owen had an incredible 2022 with her album "Come On & Get It" at nearly 800k streams globally - Judith's biggest album to date. With support globally from Jazz FM in the UK to TSF Jazz in France, and NPR Special in the USA.

Delicious, delightful, bodacious, brave, insightful, seductive and fun - just some of the many adjectives one might use to describe Judith Owen's fascinating and alluring new album.

Owen, a now New Orleans native who originally hails from Wales, conceived of the project as a result of her childhood fascination with the jazz music of some of the ballsiest women of the Jazz and Blues world, including unsung trailblazers- Nellie Lutcher and Julia Lee whom she discovered hidden on the shelves of her father's record collection alongside the likes of Oscar Peterson and Jelly Roll Morton. Captivated and enchanted by these "unapologetic" chanteuses of the 40's/50's (Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington, Blossom Dearie, Peggy Lee, Julie London), who were singing about sex - and enjoying it at a time when women were meant to sing about romance - Owen made it her mission to dig deep and find out more from both a musical and historical perspective. The result is "Come On & Get It," the most joyful, uplifting, and empowering project to emerge out of Covid; a throw-back with a fresh feel complete with a look and style that speaks of all those delectable, hugely entertaining women who broke the glass ceiling with their shoe heels and were ever so proud of it!

Recorded at Esplanade Studios in New Orleans, "Come On & Get It" features a stellar cast of musicians, including Jason Marsalis, Donald Harrison, Charlie Gabriel, Nicholas Payton, David Torkanowsky, Kevin Louis,

Evan Christopher, Ricardo Pascal and many more.
