Biography

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… Read more in Amazon's Houston Person Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Tender Standards, June 10, 2001

By	Steve Emerine (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

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. In just under an hour, he works his magic on nine standards, including "But Beautiful," "Laura," "Time After Time," "Mean to Me" and the title tune. Richard Wyands, Ray Drummond and Kenny Washington provide the rhythm on piano, bass and drums. Another late-night listen from High Note Records!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great late night music, November 30, 1998

By	robert McConnell (Seattle, WA.) - See all my reviews

If you like the standard American song book, and the ballad then Houston Person's CD, My Romance will stay in your CD player a long time. This is a CD the late nite jazz radio stations will be playing for some time.

Houston Person has been on the scene for a long time, ebracing both jazz and R&B. Houston Person plays the tenor with lots of soul, sparing notes when needed and giving us lots of those mellow notes when they are needed. His back up piano, Richard Wands, is an acomplished supportive player, filling in nicely.

My only critisism is that the CD is about as long as an old LP. There are nine songs, I wish there were at least twelve. Maybe Houston is saving up for another CD of these beautiful ballads.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy Sax, April 16, 1999

By A Customer

Even though I normally prefer more uptempo stuff, "My Romance" is one of the best jazz albums I've bought in recent years. Every cut is a winner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smoochy jazz
Excellent late night jazz. Sax mixed very prominently but a great disc if not exactly adventurous.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful mellow jazz
I love jazz, but tend to prefer melodic ballads or renditions of old standards. This CD easily met both those criteria and far surpassed my expectations. Read more
