Brecon Jazz Festival (Watton Marquee)
in Brecon, Wales on August 13, 2006
Houston Person (who was to play later on in the day with the Statesmen of Jazz - see Brian O'Connor's gallery) played this gig with what is almost the Brecon Jazz house trio - John Pearce, Dave Green and Steve Brown. Despite never having played together before, the musicians had an easy rapport and turned in a set of standards that was very enjoyable. Houston Person has a great sound, warm and soulful (just like the man himself!) and judging by the smiles on the stage, it was obvious the band were having a great time too.
