The audience could not have picked a better way to get in the mood for Valentine’s Day than an evening with “boss tenor man” Houston Person, aided by the extraordinary trio of Mike Kocour on piano, Chris Finet on bass and Lewis Nash on drums at The Nash Jazz Club.
Houston Person specializes in making music that is uplifting with strong recognizable melodies that make you feel happy and want to dance. His relaxed style is reminiscent of the great Ben Webster. Houston is known for his long-time association with legendary vocalist Etta Jones as well as more than 75 albums as bandleader. He is known as the patriarch of The Jazz Cruise on which he has performed every year since its maiden voyage in 2000.
