Sentimental Journey (Houston Person album) Sentimental Journey (Houston Person album) Sentimental Journey is an album by saxophonist Houston Person which was recorded in 2002 and released on the HighNote label.

An expert at caressing and uplifting melodies, Person plays in the tradition of Gene Ammons. Person is in excellent form throughout this quartet/quintet date ... "Sentimental Journey" is a strong example of his talents". In
