2x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Jazz Saxophonist HOUSTON PERSON is an award-winning artist and major figure on the jazz scene since the early 60s. Houston was dubbed the natural heir to the Boss Tenor crown worn so long and so well by Gene Ammons by historian Bob Porter. Person now recognized as a master of popular songs. “[Houston Person] may make everything sound as breezy as his svelte 2013 album ‘Nice’n’Easy’, but that distinct, throaty sound and effortless-sounding solo style developed not through luck, but serious study, smarts and grit.” raves DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE.
