Herb Alpert's The Very Best of Herb Alpert gathers three decades of the trumpeter's instantly recognisable sound on a single CD, from his Tijuana Brass heyday to his late-seventies and eighties solo hits.
Alpert was a rare double threat: a bandleader whose sunny, mariachi-flavoured instrumentals sold in enormous numbers, and a co-founder of A&M, the label that released them. In the sixties his Tijuana Brass records were everywhere, from cocktail parties to television themes, and he kept reinventing himself long after the brass craze faded.
The early material bursts with bright horns and crisp rhythms. The Lonely Bull, his breakthrough, still sounds like a sunny afternoon at the bullring, while A Taste of Honey and Spanish Flea capture the playful swing that made the band a household name. This Guy's in Love with You shows another side, with Alpert singing the Bacharach and David ballad in a gentle, unassuming voice.
Then the mood shifts. Rise rides a slinky, slow-burning groove that defined late-seventies jazz-funk, and Diamonds brings Janet Jackson aboard for a slick eighties dance number.
Fifteen tracks, one unmistakable trumpet tone, a career that refused to stand still, and plenty of proof that easy listening can have real personality and lasting charm.
