• Track Listing

The Guardian has called Houston Person, ?an eloquent messenger from a jazz era rooted in traditional blues, black church music, Broadway love songs and the impersonation, by sax, of a singer's tone palette,? while Nate Chinen in the New York Times has singled out Nelson's ?harmonic sumptuousness, jangly clusters,? and ?effervescent artistry.? Together they explore the nooks and crannies of ten standards, some familiar, some obscure, with the Rudy Van Gelder sonics yielding up every nuance and inflection of the players.
