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. In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow states "As the 21st century began, Houston Person was one of the last in a tradition of tough-toned but warm tenors able to straddle the boundaries between soul-jazz, hard bop, and soulful R&B. 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
