HOUSTON PERSON, JESSE VAN RULLER & TRIO REIN DE GRAAFF
Houston Person-tenor saxophone, Jesse van Ruller-guitar, Rein de Graaff-piano, Marius Beets-double bass, Eric Ineke-drums
This is the first Bimhuis performance of the great jazz/soul tenor Houston Person (1934) since he played here in the 80’s with singer/wife Etta Jones. Person, with his ‘low, urgent tone’ (Penguin Guide to Jazz) feels as much at home in earthly rhythm & blues as in composed bebop. The ideal partner for broad-minded guitarist Jesse van Ruller.
