All Soul (Houston Person album)

All Soul is an album by saxophonist Houston Person which was recorded in 2005 and released on the HighNote label.

His gruff but inviting tone is steady and true, and a quick listen to the first track shows it hasn't dropped off at all ...

Person as usual positively bleeds heart and soul on the ballads ... and romps through the up-tempo tracks".

Tenor man Houston Person, best known for his work with the late singer Etta Jones, demonstrates this truism to a tee on All Soul, featuring ten compositions across a spectrum of jazz styles and eras ... By the time you finish listening, you'll be surprised and cheerful too".

And sometimes during a ballad a single bent note is all it takes for him to create a feeling of yearning.
