Search - Houston Person :: Jazz for a Rainy Afternoon

Jazz for a Rainy Afternoon tends toward moody, minor-key tunes, some of them touched by an inner luminosity. Pianists Charles Brown and Hank Jones take very different approaches to Thelonious Monk's best known ballads--"Round Midnight" and "Ruby My Dear"--while there's a subtle, burnished glory in the sounds of trumpeters Wallace Roney, Warren Vache, and Woody Shaw. Guitarist Jimmy Ponder's solo version of "Tribute to a Rose" has a special intimacy, and saxophonist Houston Person and bassist Ron Carter have a thoughtful musical conversation on "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most." --Adam Rains
