Description

Detroit native Tate Houston was much in demand in the late 1940's through the 1950's - playing with Maynard Ferguson, Milt Jackson, Billy Eckstine, Sonny Stitt and others.  After that he went back to Detroit and played around the local music scene until he died in 1974.  These recordings are from the late 1940's (JC Heard's band, with Joe Newman, Wardell Gray and Al Haig; Sir Charles Thompson's All Stars with Benny Powell, Bob Dorsey and others), 1950's (the album Bone and Bari with Curtis Fuller, Sonny Clark, Paul Chambers and Arthur Taylor) and one from shortly before he died, playing in a recreation of the 1920's band, McKinney's Cotton Pickers!
