1	Jazz for the Quiet Times [32 Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz giants like Jack McDuff, Sonny Stitt, Kenny Burrell, and Bobby Hutcherson all contribute tracks and brush shoulders with jazz middleweights like Wallace Roney, Russell Gunn, and Pat Martino. As the title suggests, the songs are relaxed and the mood is mellow. Although the songs date from well beyond jazz's peak years, the performances are ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.95!
2	The Talk of the Town (1987) more music like this by Houston Person This Muse recording differs from many of tenor saxophonist Houston Person's previous ones in that Person is backed by a piano rather than an organ; he sounds inspired by the "new" setting. Person heads a sextet also including trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater, pianist Stan Hope, bassist Buster Williams, drummer Grady Tate and percussionist Ralph Dorsey. ... see all copies from $8.32! new only from $8.32!
3	You Taught My Heart to Sing (2006) more music like this by Houston Person/Bill Charlap Tenor saxophonist Houston Person teams up with pianist Bill Charlap on this ten-track collection of standards, You Taught My Heart to Sing. Both musicians have released individual albums paying homage to the great songwriters of the '30s and '40s -- George Gershwin, Hoagy Carmichael, Irving Berlin -- but this is the first time they teamed up in ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
4	Jazz for When You're Alone [32 Jazz] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The 32Jazz label, under the leadership of Joel Dorn, continues to release compilations designed to fit a particular mood or state of being. Thus there have been albums as Jazz for a Rainy Afternoon, Groove Jammy, and Songs That Made the Phone Light Up. Now we have an album dedicated to being alone, not loneliness as Dorn explains his in liner ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $9.75!
5	In a Sentimental Mood (2000) more music like this by Houston Person Houston Person is an excellent, underrated tenor saxophonist with a full, rich tone and a knack for well-constructed, tasteful, but never boring solos. That said, he's occasionally guilty of giving the people what they want, releasing smooth and conservative albums that are perfectly enjoyable to listen to, but somewhat beneath what he's capable ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
6	To Etta With Love (2004) more music like this by Houston Person One of the longest-lasting and critically lauded partnerships in jazz, the duo of vocalist Etta Jones and tenor saxophonist Houston Person ran from a concert in 1968 to Jones' death in 2001 on the same day their last album together, Etta Jones Sings Lady Day, was released. In tribute to Jones, To Etta With Love finds Person digging into various ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
7	Jazz for When You're in Love (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The Jazz For... compilation series from 32 Jazz is not only a tremendous marketing idea -- helping match classic music to the listener's mood and lifestyle -- but also a way to experience the timeless power of a bygone day in jazz. As might be expected for a collection centering on romance, this 13-song gathering tends to focus on the smoky, cool ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $24.95!
8	Jazz for a Rainy Afternoon [32 Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This sampler CD has 11 ballads taken from the Muse catalog that the 32 Jazz label acquired in the mid-1990s. Unfortunately, the liner notes are sparse and the recording dates are not given, although the personnel are listed; the music dates primarily from the 1970s and '80s. Featured on a selection apiece are Charles Brown on an instrumental solo ... see all copies from $2.99!
9	The Prestige Records Story (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Like most of the now-prized jazz labels, Prestige Records sprang from the vision of one man - a 20-year-old kid, actually - named Bob Weinstock, who guided the label from its infancy in 1949 until 1971 when he sold out to Fantasy. Although Prestige continued to record for awhile after 1971, Fantasy chose to survey only the Weinstock years in this ... see all copies from $34.98! new only from $34.98!
10	Christmas With Houston Person and Friends (1994) more music like this by Houston Person Tenor-saxophonist Houston Person's Christmas album finds him jamming both newer songs ("Santa Baby," "Our First Christmas" and "A Christmas Love Song") and a few old classics (including "Jingle Bells" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman"). His warm tenor is featured with three different groups including a trio co-starring pianist Mike Renzi, a ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.94!
11 view cover	Christmas with Houston Person & Etta Jones (1997) more music like this by Houston Person & Etta Jones Tired of those bland Christmas jazz records that fail to capture the emotion and fervor of the season? Looking for an album that puts heart and soul into this momentous holiday? Then look no further than this album by Etta Jones and Houston Person (neither of whom are on all cuts) and other musicians who also not only want to play these songs for ... see all copies from $6.35! new only from $8.38!
12 view cover	Thinking of You (2007) more music like this by Houston Person Houston Person's recent recordings have seen him removed from the soul-jazz he built a reputation on in his early days, and gravitate toward a refined balladic sound that identifies his older/wiser/mellow persona. For this date, he uses groups varying in size from duo to quartet and sextet, which does mix things up a bit, but keeps Person on the ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
13 view cover	Dialogues (2002) more music like this by Houston Person/Ron Carter In the 1980s, tenor saxophonist Houston Person and bassist Ron Carter recorded a pair of unlikely but successful duo albums. Person, who has mostly been heard through the years with organ groups, piano trios, and accompanying the late singer Etta Jones, has a large tone worthy of Gene Ammons, while Ron Carter (who has played with everyone) clearly ... see all copies from $17.93! new only from $18.07!
14 view cover	Blue Velvet (2001) more music like this by Houston Person Nearly indistinguishable from most of Houston Person's other albums for the High Note label in the late '90s and early 2000s, 2001's Blue Velvet has the same smoothly professional but slightly anonymous backing combo led by Richard Wyands' piano, a song selection taken mostly from the same set of classic songwriters, even a similar art design and ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
15 view cover	Sentimental Journey (2002) more music like this by Houston Person As the 21st century began, Houston Person was one of the last in a tradition of tough-toned but warm tenors able to straddle the boundaries between soul-jazz, hard bop, and soulful R&B. An expert at caressing and uplifting melodies, Person plays in the tradition of Gene Ammons. Person is in excellent form throughout this quartet/quintet date with ... see all copies from $12.44! new only from $12.44!
16 view cover	Goodness! (1969) more music like this by Houston Person This is the first album of Person's that was a real hit. Here is one of the best examples of his late-'60s/early-'70s style. Small organ combo with that funky sound. Perhaps too formulaic, but still nice. Includes the hypnotic tune "Jamilah." Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
17 view cover	Social Call (2003) more music like this by Houston Person see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
18 view cover	Why Not! (1990) more music like this by Houston Person Houston Person's warm tenor tone, effortless swing, and skill at playing with organists have been taken for granted through the years, since he breaks no new boundaries and is very consistent. On this CD, he forged a new partnership with the young organist Joey DeFrancesco, and they work together perfectly on a set of blues, ballads and standards. ... see all copies from $14.76! new only from $105.00!
19 view cover	My Romance (1998) more music like this by Houston Person High Note Records, founded by the former owners of Muse Records, has retained some of the defunct label's more talented performers, one of them being Houston Person. Appearing as a leader, sideman, or guest on well over 100 recordings, Person uses his knowledge and experience to revisit nine very familiar standards with his big, full-bodied, ... see all copies from $11.08! new only from $18.07!
20 view cover	All Soul (2005) more music like this by Houston Person It seems like every fall for the last ten years or so, jazz fans have been graced by the release of a new Houston Person record. The Texas tenor is one of the last men standing and 2005's All Soul shows he is standing as tall as ever. His gruff but inviting tone is steady and true, and a quick listen to the first track shows it hasn't dropped off ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
21 view cover	Jazz for a Lazy Day [32 Jazz] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz For a Lazy Day lives up to its name, providing the kind of cool, languid jazz that adds that extra something to a weekend or day off. A mix of standards and ballads by greats like Wallace Roney, Donald Byrd and Hank Jones makes this album a sophisticated soundtrack to complement a little rest and relaxation. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.35!
22 view cover	Jazz That Cooks (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz That Cooks is a solid sampler of modern-day soul-jazz, funky hard bop, and groove music, featuring artists like Charles Earland, Joey Defrancesco, Teddy Edwards, Irene Reid, Red Holloway, and more. It's pretty consistent throughout, making it a good basic introduction to these artists as well. Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.65! new only from $8.65!
23 view cover	The Colossal Saxophone Session (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This double-CD (originally cut for King) has a remarkable lineup of saxophonists: altoists Frank Morgan, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, John Zorn, Steve Coleman, Donald Harrison and Craig Bailey, Dave Liebman on soprano, and tenors Archie Shepp, David Murray, Houston Person and Bennie Wallace. In fact, there is so much talent present (with a fine rhythm ... see all copies from $19.95! new only from $32.12!
24 view cover	Party Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Party Jazz is an infectious compilation of funky, catchy soul-jazz driven by tenor saxes and Hammond B-3s (plus occasional guitar, as on Grant Green's selection). While jazz purists might deride the choices as haphazard, what's here is generally very good, with an artist roster including Willis "Gator" Jackson, Brother Jack McDuff, Houston Person, ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $99.99!
25 view cover	Legends of Acid Jazz (1970) more music like this by Houston Person Houston Person was among the guttiest of the gutbucket saxophonists of the soul-jazz golden age -- for proof, look no further than Legends of Acid Jazz: Houston Person, which compiles two of the saxman's most popular releases, Person to Person! and Houston Express (both originally released in 1970). Express featured the "funkmaster general" of the ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
