The Melody Lingers On

The Guardian has called Houston Person, "an eloquent messenger from a jazz era rooted in traditional blues, black church music, Broadway love songs and the impersonation, by sax, of a singer's tone palette," while the New York Times has singled out Nelson's "harmonic sumptuousness" and “effervescent artistry.” On The Melody Lingers On, Person explores ten standards, some familiar, some obscure, with the Rudy Van Gelder sonics yielding up every nuance and inflection of the players.
