Seasoned veteran Houston Person joins Keith Oxman's quartet for his latest outing, Two Cigarettes in the Dark. The pairing of these two great tenor saxophonists from different generations is a wonderful merging of styles to create a uniquely warm sound. Person is on 6 of the 10 tracks which are the standards on this release. Also making an appearance on 2 of the tunes is vocalist Annette Murrell. She brings her sultry voice to Everything Happens to Me and Crazy He Calls Me. Oxman contributes 3 of his original compositions and pianist Jeff Jenkins penned one of the tunes.
