Houston Person • Blue Odyssey

Review by Scott Yanow
Houston Person, the definitive soul-jazz tenor saxophonist of the past 30 years, is in excellent form on this early session. Teamed with trombonist Curtis Fuller, baritonist Pepper Adams, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Frankie Jones, Person holds his own with the better-known horn players and takes a brief vacation from his usual organ group. The music is both straight-ahead and bluesy with Cedar Walton's "Holy Land" and "Please Send Me Someone to Love" being the highpoints.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Houston Person, el saxofonista tenor definitivo del soul-jazz de los últimos 30 años, está en excelente forma en esta primera sesión. Junto con el trombonista Curtis Fuller, el baritonista Pepper Adams, el pianista Cedar Walton, el bajista Bob Cranshaw y el baterista Frankie Jones, Person se mantiene a la altura de los trompistas más conocidos y se toma unas breves vacaciones de su grupo habitual de órgano. La música es a la vez directa y blues, con "Holy Land" de Cedar Walton y "Please Send Me Someone to Love" como puntos álgidos.
