Houston Person still remembers the day in 1950 that changed his life. He was a typical 16-year-old in his hometown of Florence, SC. He sang in the high-school choir and glee club, but he was mostly interested in football and basketball. Then, Christmas morning, his parents gave him a surprise gift: a tenor saxophone. Several decades, hundreds of albums, and thousands of concerts later, his life and career remain centered around the tenor sax. When it comes to soul-jazz, Person has been at the top of the genre for more years than he may care to admit. Through all the different styles coursing through those decades  from hard bop, through fusion, to avant-garde Person has been steadfast in his dedication. All of Houston Person's trademarks are present on his newest recording. With the phenomenal vibes of Steve Nelson and the top-flight rhythm section ably led by pianist John di Martino Houston & Co. caress the ballads with lush melodicism and swing heartily through the up-tempo numbers. ~ Editorial Reviews  http://www.amazon.com/Something-Personal-Houston-Person/dp/B0157THUHO
