Houston Person is a passionate and soulful tenor saxophonist. He puts his heart into every tune leaving the audience relaxed and in the moment. Houston has recorded over 100 albums and is recognized world wide as leading instrumentalist. Wynton Marsalis deemed Houston "the last of the boudoir tenors, simply delicious". He requested Jodi Proznick & Miles Black. I hope you will consider coming to this intimate theatre and getting inspired with some great jazz.
Houston will bring cd's for you to take home with you...
