Description:
Co-written by Les Brown for his own Orchestra, Sentimental Journey was a great hit for Doris Day, and this version remains as the definative standard for the tune. It has to be played bluesy, laid back, softly and not too fast!. The brass lines at the end of the first chorus emphasise the 'drag' and the tenor solo behind the vocal re-enforces the lazy feel. Vocally in the key of A, the range is from A below, to B above middle C. Lead alto doubles clarinet.
