Person to Person is the debut album by jazz vocalist Mildred Anderson featuring saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis' working group with organist Shirley Scott recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label.

Reception

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "this set is worth checking out if quite obscure". Chris Smith wrote in The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings: "her pitch is sometimes uncertain and her interpretations are anonymous, neither sweet enough for ballads nor salty enough for blues."
