Reflections - The Best Of Collection (2005)

"This CD mostly contains previously released selections drawn from 5 earlier albums. Person picked the numbers himself and feels that these performances are among the finest of his career. Based on their creativity, intensity, and brilliant playing, Person is correct. He is heard on both alto and soprano, mostly with several different piano-bass-drums rhythm sections. Flutist Jim Finn is on two selections, guitarist Cary DeNigris is on four, and the pianist is usually John Esposito. The post-bop playing is full of fire, high musicianship, and inventive ideas. Three selections ("K.T.," "The Ringleader," and "Etc.") are drawn from a previously unreleased live performance in 1998. Person is heard here with trumpeter Dave Douglas in a particularly exciting quintet, rounding out a very impressive package. Easily recommended." (Scott Yanow, Allmusic)
