Person’s 2012 HighNote release finds the saxophonist in typically relaxed form, serving up a program of ballads and mid-tempo tunes that lean into his strengths as a soulful melodist. The album is a testament to his enduring presence in the jazz landscape.

Houston Person is a Texas-born tenor saxophonist who came to prominence in the 1960s, known for his warm tone and his prolific work in soul jazz and hard bop. By 2012, he had settled into a late-career groove, releasing a series of well-regarded albums for HighNote Records that found him comfortable in a variety of settings.
