{"product_id":"herb-alpert-over-the-rainbow-cd","title":"Herb Alpert - Over the Rainbow [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eHerb 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlpert has nothing left to prove. As the leader of the Tijuana Brass and co-founder of A\u0026amp;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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing here is rushed or overworked. It is the sound of a master enjoying himself, and that pleasure is contagious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it on for a slow Sunday morning or a candlelit dinner and let one of music's great gentlemen set the mood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499445985585,"sku":"814647022079","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Herb_Alpert-Over_the_Rainbow_CD.jpg?v=1794507991","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/herb-alpert-over-the-rainbow-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
