Houston Person: The Art & Soul of Houston Person
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Partial contents: You do something to me — I don't stand a ghost of a chance — You're a sweetheart — Maybe you'll be there — All the things you are — You're my everything — Skylark — I only have eyes for you — Everything I have is yours — Wonder why — Do nothing till you hear from me — Here's that rainy day — Isn't it romantic? — Fools rush in — It had to be you — But beautiful — For all we know — Blue moon — Bewitched — Don't get around much anymore — Sentimental journey — Where are you? — There's a small hotel — Tenderly — Be my love.
"Joe Fields recorded Person's debut at Prestige in 1966. When Fields moved on to found the Muse and High Note labels, Person was his first hire: a slow-moving, easy-swinging soul man, so consistent that the biggest problem has been differentiating between his albums. This three-CD set settles that: Thirty classic songs from a dozen mature albums sum him up perfectly. Irresistible for anyone with a taste for tenor sax and a sense of jazz's grand historical arc" (Tom Hull, "Jazz Consumer Guide," Village Voice, 5/27-6/2/09, p. 50).
