Biography
Houston Person in New York 1984
Person grew up in Florence, South Carolina , and first played piano before switching to tenor saxophone.[1] He studied at South Carolina State College where he was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 1999.
In the United States Air Force, he joined a service band stationed in West Germany, and played with Don Ellis , Eddie Harris, Cedar Walton, and Leo Wright. He later continued his studies at Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut .
He first became known for a series of albums for Prestige in the 1960s. Contrary to popular belief, he was never married to the vocalist Etta Jones , but did spend many years as her musical partner, recording, performing and touring, and for much of his career this association was what he was best known for. They first met playing in organist Johnny Hammond's band.[2]
There are more than 75 albums recorded by Houston Person as a bandleader, on Prestige, Westbound, Mercury, Savoy, and Muse, and he has most recently been recording on HighNote. He has recorded with Charles Brown , Ron Carter , Bill Charlap, Charles Earland , Lena Horne , Etta Jones , Lou Rawls , Janis Siegel , Horace Silver , Dakota Staton , Cedar Walton, plus Billy Butler , Don Patterson, Grant Green , Sonny Phillips, Johnny "Hammond" Smith, Richard "Groove" Holmes[3] and others.
