A legendary progenitor of the soul-jazz genre, tenor saxophonist and record producer Houston Person joins the Bay Areas own celebrated Kim Nalley to celebrate their new album , I WANT A LITTLE BOY. Jazz singer, dancer, former club-owner, activist, promoter, historian, and writer Dr. Kim Nalley is a perfect fit for Houston Person sliding comfortably into a spot that was occupied by the late great Etta Jones for 30 years.
