Immerse yourself in melodies that once carried our nation through a pivotal moment in American history. Sentimental Journey Big Band is here to transport you back to the 1940s with the timeless sounds of swing and jazz in The Music That Won World War II.

Vocalist Altha Morton has appeared throughout the East singing Big Band, Jazz, Country, Gospel, and Pop music.  Some of her career highlights include national record releases, opening for Johnny Cash, Bobby Bare, Johnny Lee, and Mel Tillis.  Sentimental Journey was formed in 1991 by Frank Richetti who played with the 2nd Marine Air Wing Band during World War II, and continued to perform with the band until he was 96.  Altha and Curt Morton currently direct Sentimental Journey Big Band, playing such favorites as Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square, American Patrol, and In The Mood.

Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon is made possible, in part, through the support of the Wintrode Family Foundation.
