As leader of the Tijuana Brass and co-founder of A\u0026amp;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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour something warm, light the tree and let one of pop's great trumpet voices set the mood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499437957425,"sku":"814647022567","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Herb_Alpert-Christmas_Time_Is_Here_CD.jpg?v=1794507944","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/herb-alpert-christmas-time-is-here-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
