{"product_id":"herb-alpert-catch-the-wind-cd","title":"Herb Alpert - Catch the Wind [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eCatch the Wind shows Herb Alpert still blowing a beautiful horn deep into his ninth decade, presented here on CD in a digipak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2021, the album continued the steady run of records he had been making on his own label, and it carries the relaxed confidence of a musician with nothing left to prove. The programme mixes familiar songs from across pop history with a few lighter, groove-led pieces, each arranged so that the trumpet sits front and centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener \"Slick\" brings in keyboardist Jeff Lorber for a smooth, funky start, all crisp rhythm and bright melody. The title track, Donovan's \"Catch the Wind,\" gets a breezy reading that suits Alpert's soft, rounded tone perfectly. He also takes on two Beatles classics, turning \"Eleanor Rigby\" into something wistful and cinematic and treating \"Yesterday\" with real restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, \"Summertime\" slows to a simmer and the \"Fantasy Island\" theme adds a knowing wink for anyone who remembers Saturday-night television. Closing on \"Smile\" feels exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is music for long dinners and easy evenings, played by someone who has been charming listeners since the 1960s. Fans of the Tijuana Brass sound will find plenty of that old sparkle, delivered with the patience and warmth of a true veteran.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518463910193,"sku":"814647022222","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Herb_Alpert-Catch_the_Wind_CD.jpg?v=1794678862","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/herb-alpert-catch-the-wind-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
