Appearing as a leader, sideman, or guest on well over 200 recordings, Houston Person uses his knowledge and experience to revisit seven very familiar standards with his big, full-bodied, soulful tenor saxophone. Given the very intimate nature of the session, this recording could easily have been of a live performance from a small, jazz lounge. All that"s missing is the knowledgeable applause of jazz fans who"ve dropped by to enjoy an evening of good music played by top jazz musicians. This session is a reminder of the pleasures that the intimate side of jazz offers.
