Each of these components is clear as the midday sun on Rain or Shine, a well-designed studio session”.[2] In JazzTimes, Thomas Conrad wrote: “In the liner notes, Houston Person says, \u201cFew people get into this kind of groove these days.\u201d So true. It is the sensual, slightly sweaty, blues-based groove they used to call soul-jazz. It was central to the jazz art form (and to its commercial viability) in the 1960s. But in our current eclectic, experimental era, it is a quaint niche. When you hear an authentic voice of the genre like Person, you remember how easy it is to like this music … The program contains standards, old R&B hits and lost gems … The members of Person\u2019s sextet all speak this rich musical language as their native tongue”.[5] In The Observer, Dave Gelly said “Although he doesn’t attract much critical attention, Houston Person must have a large and loyal following, judging by the number of albums he’s made over the years. They\u2019re a discriminating crowd, too, if this latest example is anything to go by. Ballads, blues, R&B classics \u2013 gently but unerringly his soulful tenor saxophone brings out their beauty, enhancing a melody with a few deft strokes. He can pick a good band, too”.[3] In The Times, Chris Pearson observed “Houston Person was playing tough tenor when Alexander was a babe in arms and is still going strong in every sense. On Rain or Shine the soul-jazz pioneer leads a sextet through a set made up mostly of crate-digging rhythm\u2019n\u2019blues tunes …  a tenor-sax tonic for the winter blues”[4]Track listing[edit]“Come Rain or Come Shine” (Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer) \u2013 6:23“132nd and Madison” (Onaje Allan Gumbs) \u2013 7:04“Everything Must Change” (Bernard Ingher) \u2013 6:59“Learnin’ the Blues” (Dolores Silvers) \u2013 6:18“I Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone” (Buddy Johnson) \u2013 5:28“Soupbone” (Rodney Jones) \u2013 7:13“Never Let Me Go” (Joseph Scott) \u2013 5:08“Our Day Will Come” (Mort Garson, Bob Hilliard) \u2013 5:43“Danny Boy” (Traditional) \u2013 6:00Personnel[edit]References[edit]Years given are for the recording(s), not first release, unless stated otherwise.Asleaderorco-leaderUnderground Soul!
