Chemistry is an album by saxophonist Houston Person and bassist Ron Carter recorded in late 2015 and released on the HighNote label the following year.[1]
The AllMusic review by Matt Collar said "Chemistry is a deceptively simple conceit; just two jazz journeymen playing conversational duets on well-known jazz songs. At face value, that is certainly what you get. The deception enters into the equation with just how masterful and nuanced Person and Carter are in each song ... Ultimately, Chemistry is a lovely, heartfelt album of well-loved standards imbued with the duo's decades of experience". In JazzTimes, Mac Randall stated "What you get is pretty much what you’d expect: A menu of standards, served with reliable skill and unpretentious style, provides the setting for the latest installment of an ongoing, wide-ranging chat between old friends".[2]
