When it comes to soul-jazz, tenor saxophonist Houston Person has few rivals. He's been at the top of the genre for five decades. Perhaps best known for his work with singer Etta Jones, Person has set the standard for mellow and melodic playing. Over his long career, he's been in straight-ahead groups with greats like Cedar Walton and Eddie Harris, but he has also ventured out far enough to record an album with avant-garde pianist Ran Blake. At the Lutheran Church he'll be joined by pianist John di Martino, bassist Nat Reeves, and drummer Chip White.
