Herb Alpert's Over the Rainbow arrives on CD as a gentle, golden-hour collection of standards and modern classics, recorded by the trumpet great well into his eighties and sounding completely at ease.

Alpert has nothing left to prove. As the leader of the Tijuana Brass and co-founder of A&M Records, he shaped the sound of 1960s pop and helped launch countless careers. In 2019 he returned to the songs he loves most, treating each one as a conversation rather than a performance. His tone is warm and burnished, the phrasing relaxed, and the arrangements leave plenty of room for melody to breathe.

The title track, "Over the Rainbow," lets his horn carry the famous melody with unhurried grace, singing the lyric without a single word. Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" and Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" show how freely he moves between moods, from late-night ache to sunlit swing. Closing with "What a Wonderful World" feels just right, a quiet salute to the song's open-hearted optimism.

Nothing here is rushed or overworked. It is the sound of a master enjoying himself, and that pleasure is contagious.

Put it on for a slow Sunday morning or a candlelit dinner and let one of music's great gentlemen set the mood.
