Person,Houston Nice N Easy CD

As full-bodied and comforting as home-baked apple pie is one apt description of Houston Person's saxophone sound. Inasmuch as this simile attempts to convey the comforting, warm-hearted and accomplished nature of the tenor man's art, it is spot-on, but it must be remembered that Person's roots are in organ-centered R&B. So in addition to a velvety ballad technique Person also possesses an ability to imbue up-tempo material with an irresistible wailing intensity, so his crowd-pleasing bluesy numbers provide welcome variety to this judiciously balanced set.
