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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifteen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453239501105,"sku":"082839716529","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Herb_Alpert-The_Very_Best_of_Herb_Alpert_CD.jpg?v=1794229488","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/herb-alpert-the-very-best-of-herb-alpert-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
