Jazz
Houston Person, tenor saxophone
John di Martino, piano; James Chirillo, guitar; Ray Drummond, bass; Lewis Nash, drums
Houston Person can wail with the best of them, but he also may be the best tenor saxophonist since Ben Webster when it comes to presenting soulful, romantic ballads. Here on his newest recording, made under the watchful eyes and ears of Rudy Van Gelder, he works his magic on ten great tunes, accompanied by John di Martino on piano, with Ray Drummond, John Chirillo and Lewis Nash rounding out the rhythm section. With one original, one jazz standard and eight classics from the Great American Songbook, Houston Person shows that the best music is still the music that speaks directly to the heart.
Houston Person
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Nov 10, 1934 in Florence, SC
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Soul, Swing, Soul-Jazz, Post-Bop, Hard Bop, Mainstream Jazz, Standards, Smooth Jazz
In the 1990s, Houston Person kept the soulful thick-toned tenor tradition of Gene Ammons alive, particularly in his work with organists. After learning piano as a youth, Person switched to tenor. While stationed in Germany with the Army, he played in groups that also included Eddie Harris, Lanny Morgan, Leo Wright, and Cedar Walton. Person picked up valuable experience as a member of Johnny Hammond's group (1963-1966) and has been a bandleader ever since, often working with singer Etta Jones. A duo recording with Ran Blake was a nice change of pace, but most of Houston Person's playing has been done in blues-oriented organ groups. He has recorded a consistently excellent series of albums for Muse, eventually switching to HighNote Records for 2006's You Taught My Heart to Sing, 2007's Thinking of You, and 2008's Just Between Friends, which featured bassist Ron Carter.
