Houston Express is the ninth album led by saxophonist Houston Person. It was recorded April 8 & 9, 1971 and released on the Prestige label.[1] [2] [3] To date, it has only been re-released on Compact Disc in South Africa.[4]
Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating "As period soul-jazz goes, this is considerably above the average. It's funky, but not in the bland crossover sense; there's a sense of jazz ensemble discipline to the arrangements, but it's still R&B-based enough to groove to".[5]
