Houston Person - Soft Lights

Review by Ersin ESER

Houston Person's Soft Lights album is a smooth and soulful collection of jazz tunes that will transport listeners to a bygone era. The saxophonist's rich and velvety tone is perfectly complemented by the understated yet groovy accompaniment of his bandmates. From the sultry opener "Sweet Georgia Brown" to the bluesy "Blue Moon," each track showcases Person's impeccable phrasing and musicality. The album also features some standout guest performances, such as Etta Jones' soulful vocals on "Don't Misunderstand" and Ron Carter's virtuosic bass playing on "When I Fall in Love." Soft Lights is a must-listen for fans of classic jazz and anyone looking to unwind with some timeless tunes.
