Houston Person is one of the top saxophonists working today. His playing is in the “big tenor” tradition of Gene Ammons, and his soulful style crosses musical boundaries. He toured and recorded for years with the great vocalist Etta Jones, and has also recorded with Ernestine Anderson, Lou Rawls, Lena Horne and Dakota Staton. More recent recordings have been straight-ahead jazz, collaborating with the likes of Bill Charlap and Ron Carter.

The youth workshop is designed to give middle school and high school students a chance to hear and interact directly with a jazz master. The workshop does not require prior musical knowledge or skill, and so is suitable for musicians and non-musicians. Mr. Person will discuss his personal musical development and influences, and how he approaches music. He will demonstrate musical styles that have influenced him, and will demonstrate how he approaches jazz.
