Houston Person is a gentlemen of jazz, a versatile player who honors the compositions he has assembled in his discography with a seemingly effortless approach that's elegantly sensuous and unabashedly romantic. There's a smooth, creamy warmth to his tone, but a decidedly muscular undercurrent keeps saccharine sweetness firmly at bay. Beautifully recorded by Rudy van Gelder, Houston explores and elaborates on melodic themes. It's first rate music played with exquisite taste and an emphasis on the sheer beauty of timeless tunes
