Reggie Houston

January 29, 2015This Coffeeshop Conversation is special. For what Reggie Houston has to say for himself, but what he really says for all of us. Once again we were in the Cupping Room at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan in Portland.Not that all of these conversations aren’t revealing, they’re designed to be, but today's was unexpectedly so. Saxophonist Reggie Houston, a New Orleans native, who moved to Portland the year before Katrina, and who played in Fat’s Domino’s band for twenty years became a very close friend and collaborator with the late Janice Scroggins.Her death affected many folks but I didn’t know how close they had become and how her death affected him until he sat down to talk with me. I thought we were just going to have fun and bullshit as friends like we usually do. Not today.Listen to what happened when I punched record.
