Description

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.

PERSON2PERSON is a unique cross-generational collaboration between Acclaimed Alto & Soprano Saxophonist ERIC PERSON and Renowned 2x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Tenor Saxophonist HOUSTON PERSON. Featured on Eric Person's 2022 release 'Blue Vision', Person2Person has performed at the 2023 editions of the Rochester Jazz Festival and Montclair Jazz Festival, the 2024 edition of the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, Dizzy's Jazz Club, Kuumbwa Jazz Center, and others. Everywhere they perform, audiences love the duo's presentation of the blues and the modern jazz spectrum. Eric's alto saxophone sound and progressiveness meet Houston's expressiveness, and interpretation of the great songs we all love.
