Herb Alpert's Beyond, presented on CD, catches the trumpeter riding high in 1980, cool, confident and fully at home in a glossy, groove-led sound.
By the start of the decade Alpert had long since moved past the mariachi brass that made his name. As co-founder of A&M Records he had the freedom to follow his ears, and those ears were tuned to jazz-funk, disco polish and the smooth sophistication drifting out of late-night radio. Beyond sits squarely in that sweet spot, a set of instrumentals built for headphones and slow evenings rather than dance-floor sweat.
Kamali opens the door with a lithe, easy rhythm and Alpert's trademark muted tone floating over the top. The Continental tips its hat to a classic standard with a breezy, playful touch, and Red Hot lives up to its name with a tighter, funkier pulse. The title track Beyond stretches out with warm keys and a melody that lingers, while That's the Way of the World nods to Earth, Wind & Fire with real affection.
What stands out is the restraint. Alpert never overplays, letting the band lock in and placing each phrase exactly where it lands best.
A smooth, sunlit slice of early-80s instrumental pop, and a fine companion to the rest of his catalogue.
