Something in Common (Houston Person and Ron Carter album)
Something in Common is an album by saxophonist Houston Person and bassist Ron Carter that was released by Muse in 1989.

Reception

At AllMusic Scott Yanow noted, "Houston Person is one of the last in a long line of thick-toned tenors who display soul in every note they play while bassist Ron Carter's versatility is legendary (it seems as if he has spent half of his life in recording studios). Their duet CD, although not inevitable, works out quite well...the main attractions of this date are the instrumentation and the strong interplay between Person and Carter".
