Review:
Houston Person really sounds great in this later date for Muse Records — definitely the older lion in the title, surrounded by a younger pride of players who really make the record swing! The set’s got a rock-solid rhythm section with Benny Green on piano, Christian McBride on bass, and Winard Harper on drums — that kind of in the pocket combo that was often the driving force of a Person-produced Muse Records session like this. Philip Harper’s also in the frontline on trumpet, sparkling nicely next to the tenor — and the tunes have a relatively laidback feel, and a rich sound that hardly shows the date of the record at all. Titles include “Dig”, “Dear Heart”, “Sweet Love”, “Like Someone In Love”, and “Captain Hook”.
