HOUSTON PERSON 

We can’t recommend this one enough! A legendary soulful saxophonist born in Newberry, South Carolina in 1934, who recorded a series of fine soulful albums for Prestige back in the '60s. Often compared to the likes of Stanley Turrentine or Gene Ammons, in 1968 he began a sympathetic and successful musical partnership with the great Etta Jones that lasted over 30 years until her recent passing. A passionate tenor saxophonist, alternately tough and tender, Person's own talent was often overlooked because of his association with the phenomenal vocalist but he remains a soul jazz great!!
