{"product_id":"herb-alpert-blow-your-own-horn-cd","title":"Herb Alpert - Blow Your Own Horn [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlow Your Own Horn finds Herb Alpert in a playful, dance-floor mood, and this CD edition brings his 1983 album back into circulation for anyone who knows him only from the Tijuana Brass years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the early 1980s Alpert had already reinvented himself once, scoring a disco-era smash with \"Rise\" in 1979. Rather than chase the past, he kept leaning into the sleek grooves, synthesizers and glossy studio sheen of the moment. The trumpet stays front and centre, but it is surrounded by drum machines, funky bass lines and arrangements that feel tailor-made for a city night out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Red Hot\" sets the tone with a bright, punchy hook and a rhythm section that refuses to sit still. The title track, \"Blow Your Own Horn,\" has the confident strut its name promises, while \"Garden Party\" relaxes into a breezier, sun-dappled groove that suits an afternoon as well as a night out. Every track keeps the focus on melody, with the horn leading the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a record that shows Alpert's curiosity at full tilt, a veteran still happy to experiment and still blessed with one of the most recognisable tones in popular music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of smooth jazz, boogie and instrumental pop will find plenty to love in its upbeat, polished charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499446051121,"sku":"814647021607","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_8bdbcda8-e6b6-432c-b476-e27afdb06e6b.jpg?v=1794507056","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/herb-alpert-blow-your-own-horn-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
