Herb Alpert - New Album Available September 25 (Herb Alpert)

Over the years, Herb Alpert has experimented with a number of different sounds but it is the arrangements he used with the Tijuana Brass that have been the hallmark of his career.

This Friday, September 25, Alpert releases the new album Come Fly With Me via his own HerbAlpert Presents label, which includes a retro sound that will be familiar for his fans from the 60’s.

The exciting original compositions on Come Fly With Me were inspired by everything from a Tito Puente rhythm Alpert fell in love with (the propulsive Night Ride) to jamming with his world class band in between shows on tour (the fun, reggae-infused Cheeky was born of these sessions). On Walkin’ Tall, another track with a punchy reggae beat, Alpert’s trumpet melody slinks and slides. Herb’s take on one of Frank Sinatra’s most famous recordings, Come Fly With Me, is set to a groovy bossa nova beat with the surprising addition of a steel drum. His sparse take on George Harrison’s Something includes the use of an electronic instrument known as an EVI, to play the signature guitar lick from the original recording.
