The latest album in tenor saxophonist Houston Person's large catalogue is a tribute to his old friend, the late Rudy Van Gelder, and features Person in a quintet playing a selection of ballads and up-tempo tunes in his honour.
Tenor saxophonist Houston Person's playing has a lot in common with a perfectly brewed cup of coffee: both are bold, satisfying, smooth, eye-opening and addictive once experienced.
Whether it be during smouldering blues-tinged numbers ("Please Send Me Someone to Love"), up-tempo takes on old favorites ("At Long Last Love," "Moon River"), or steamy, sultry, late-night ballads ("Put Your Head on My Shoulder"), Person never fails to deliver a performance where expressivity is the order of the day. The band is made up of a hand-picked group from Person's cadre of regular colleagues with guitar great Russell Malone adding his imaginative voicings and swinging rhythms to the mix.
The album's title is an homage to Houston's engineer of choice, the legendary Rudy Van Gelder. Person's very first recording as a leader, the 1967 'Underground Soul!', was done at Rudy's fabled Englewood Cliffs studio and they continued their friendship and working relationship until Van Gelder's passing in 2016. But this is a not a backward-looking memorial album. That is not Person's style. If you go by his busy performance schedule and his extensive discography, Houston Person is, like his fans, always looking forward to his next gig.

El último álbum del extenso catálogo del saxofonista tenor Houston Person es un homenaje a su viejo amigo, el difunto Rudy Van Gelder, y presenta a Person en un quinteto que interpreta una selección de baladas y temas animados en su honor.
La forma de tocar del saxofonista tenor Houston Person tiene mucho en común con una taza de café perfectamente preparada: ambas son atrevidas, satisfactorias, suaves, reveladoras y adictivas una vez experimentadas.
Ya se trate de blues ardiente ("Please Send Me Someone to Love"), de viejas canciones favoritas ("At Long Last Love", "Moon River") o de baladas nocturnas ("Put Your Head on My Shoulder"), Person nunca deja de ofrecer una interpretación en la que la expresividad está a la orden del día. La banda está formada por un grupo cuidadosamente seleccionado entre los colegas habituales de Person, con el gran Russell Malone a la guitarra, que añade a la mezcla sus imaginativos voicings y sus ritmos oscilantes.
El título del álbum es un homenaje al ingeniero de Houston, el legendario Rudy Van Gelder. La primera grabación de Person como líder, "Underground Soul!", de 1967, se realizó en el legendario estudio de Rudy en Englewood Cliffs y mantuvieron su amistad y relación de trabajo hasta el fallecimiento de Van Gelder en 2016. Pero este no es un álbum conmemorativo retrospectivo. Ese no es el estilo de Person. Si nos guiamos por su apretada agenda de actuaciones y su extensa discografía, Houston Person está, al igual que sus fans, siempre deseando que llegue su próxima actuación.
