Herb Alpert brings his golden trumpet tone to the holidays on Christmas Time Is Here, a 2025 seasonal set presented here on CD.
Few musicians have shaped instrumental pop like Alpert. As leader of the Tijuana Brass and co-founder of A&M Records, he turned the trumpet into a mainstream pop voice in the 1960s, and he has kept recording ever since. This album, released through his own Herb Alpert Presents label, finds him in a relaxed and generous mood, treating familiar carols and standards like old friends who have dropped by for a drink.
The song choices span the classic and the modern. Vince Guaraldi's "Christmas Time Is Here" gets the hushed, late-night treatment it deserves, "Feliz Navidad" nods to the Latin-flavoured brass that made his name, and "My Favorite Things" lets the band stretch out with a little jazz swing. There is even a version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You," proof that his warm, unhurried phrasing can make a modern standard sound written for him.
The arrangements stay light on their feet, more fireside than full orchestra, so the album works as background for a gathering or as something to sit and savour.
Pour something warm, light the tree and let one of pop's great trumpet voices set the mood.
