   Photographer: Gene Martin
   Celebrity photographer and JJA member Gene Martin shot this image of tenor man Houston Person for the cover of Houston's CD, "All Soul", on HighNote Records. Gene's use of motion in images is well known in the record cover market as well as during his tenure as cover photographer for JazzTimes magazine. The image was captured "in camera" without post production effects.
