Houston Person, an iconic and award-winning artist, has been on the jazz scene since the early 60’s. Houston was dubbed “the natural heir to the Boss Tenor crown worn so long and so well by Gene Ammons” by historian Bob Porter. After years as a record producer, house tenor-man for HighNote Records and touring with the late Etta Jones, Houston is now recognized as a master of popular songs. His appearances as a sideman are legion and include recordings with Lena Horne, Lou Rawls, Dakota Staton, Horace Silver, and Joey DeFrancesco.
