Bandleader Les Brown (1912-2001) led his jazz oriented dance bands, which
included the Les Brown Orchestra and Les Brown and his Band of Renown, for
over sixty years. The saxophonist and clarinetist formed his first permanent
orchestra in 1938 and had his first big hit with Doris Day's rendition of
"Sentimental Journey" in 1944. Three years later, Brown began his
association with Bob Hope, making his first tour of military bases in
1950. Brown, who appeared with his talented musicians in several feature films,
continued to tour through the 1960s and made occasional appearances in
later decades, giving his final performance just five months before his death at
the age of 88. Fine condition.
