Basics (Houston Person album)


Basics is an album by saxophonist Houston Person recorded in 1987 and released on the Muse label in 1989.

Reception

reviewer Scott Yanow noted "Tenor saxophonist Houston Person has stuck to his singular musical path throughout his career, playing uncomplicated but soulful and swinging renditions of blues, ballads, and jazz standards for a couple decades, ignoring current musical trends.... the songs sound brand new and almost as if they were written for him. Recommended".
