Herb Alpert reflects on eight decades in music, new album ‘Wish Upon A Star’

Before playing Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, the artist, composer, executive and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer discussed his landmark musical career…

HERB ALPERT

Creator and innovator, musician and producer, artist, and philanthropist, Herb Alpert is a man with a profound passion.

Born in Los Angeles, the future trumpeter came of age in a house filled with music. At the age of eight, he was drawn to the trumpet in a music appreciation class in his elementary school.

“I was very fortunate that I had that exposure to music and was encouraged to stick with it. Years ago, when the arts programs were cut out of our public schools, so many kids stopped having that kind of opportunity.”

A legendary trumpet player, Alpert’s extraordinary musicianship has earned him five #1 hits , nine GRAMMY® Awards, the latest from his 2014 album, “Steppin’ Out,” fifteen Gold albums, fourteen Platinum albums and has sold over 72 million records. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass propelled his sound into the pop music limelight, at one point outselling the Beatles two to one. In 1966, they achieved the since-unmatched feat of simultaneously having four albums in the Top 10– and five in the Top 20. Herb Alpert also has the distinction of being the only artist who has had a #1 instrumental and vocal single.

Catch The Wind

Original Release Date: 2021

In the 2010s, Herb Alpert released a prolific run of 8 new studio albums. This year, the iconic leader of the Tijuana Brass shows no signs of slowing down with his latest effort, Catch The Wind. This new collection features 9 original compositions, covers of beloved Beatles hits “Eleanor Rigby” and “Yesterday”, and American classics “Smile”, “America The Beautiful”, and “Summertime.” So, charge up your iPhone, dust off your Hi-Fi, put batteries in your boombox, plug the headphones into your Walkman, and get ready to listen to Herb Alpert Catch The Wind.

Lost Treasures

This unique, 22-song reissue is a trove of the rarest songs from Herb Alpert’s vast catalog, chosen by the man himself! Relish the covers of iconic songs, alternate takes, and recordings not found on previous Tijuana Brass albums. Presented with the restored original artwork, this album is a must-have gem for every fan’s collection. So, get ready for adventure and come along with Herb on a journey through his Lost Treasures.

Over The Rainbow

Original Release Date: 2019

On his latest album, OVER THE RAINBOW, Herb Alpert began the same way he has done for all of his albums over the years: searching for great melodies. That search has resulted in the prolific trumpeter’s latest offering, a collection of 11 classics and 1 brand new, original track. That original song, “Skinny Dip”, opens the album with a quirky, fun vibe before things move on to recognizable tunes from the great American songbook, which are included for various reasons close to Herb’s heart. He felt the danger in the tightrope walk of recording his own version of the iconic “Over The Rainbow”, which was cemented within pop culture by Judy Garland’s performance and many other fantastic recordings. And whether it’s a tribute to Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt on “All Love”, Bill Withers on “Ain’t No Sunshine”, or the great Louis Armstrong on “What A Wonderful World”, there is always a deeper connection and meaning for Herb on every cover selected for this album, making it one of the most personal projects he has ever worked on. OVER THE RAINBOW will be available everywhere on September 20 from Herb Alpert Presents.

Herb Alpert Reimagines The Tijuana Brass

Original Release Date: 2018

On his new album, Music Volume 3 – Herb Alpert Reimagines The Tijuana Brass, the beloved and prolific trumpeter Herb Alpert returns to some of his most iconic songs and transforms them with brand new arrangements, recordings, and modern production. Alpert takes material he made famous in the 1960s and infuses it with the style and musicianship that is still earning him accolades after decades of recording and performing. Get ready to hear “A Taste Of Honey”, “Whipped Cream”, “The Lonely Bull”, and many more as you’ve never heard them before!

THE CHRISTMAS WISH

Original Release Date: 2017

Herb Alpert’s The Christmas Wish is the trumpeter’s first holiday album in almost 50 years! Recorded at the legendary Capitol Recording Studios at Hollywood’s Capitol Records building, The Christmas Wish boasts a 10-piece rhythm section, a 45-piece orchestra, and a 32-member choir!

2017 album from music legend Herb Alpert! Featuring the single “Flamingo” as well as iconic covers of classics like “Unforgettable,” “Cheek To Cheek,” “Witchcraft,” The Beatles’ “Michelle” and John Lennon’s “Imagine.”

Human Nature

Release Date: 2016

Legendary pop and jazz icon Herb Alpert continues his prolific career run with his 2016 studio album, Human Nature . The album follows up his well-received 2014 effort, In the Mood , and picks up on that album’s mix of electronic pop and Latin-inflected, dance-oriented grooves. In his eighties at the time of recording, he has aged into a soulful, lyrical musician able to bridge the light pop stylings of his youth with more introspective choices. Human Nature finds him completely engaged, continuing to explore new sounds and songs. Joining Alpert here are several longtime collaborators in producer/percussionist Michael Shapiro , producer/arranger/keyboardist Eduardo Del Barrio , bassist/guitarist Hussain Jiffry , keyboardist/arranger/producer Bill Cantos , and others. As with Alpert ‘s other albums since coming out of a ten-year hiatus in 2009, Human Nature finds the trumpeter applying his distinctively sweet-toned sound to a nicely balanced combination of beloved pop standards, unexpected covers, and originals. Sometimes, as on the title track, an inspired Brazilian Mardi Gras-infused reworking of Michael Jackson ‘s “Human Nature,” Alpert goes for an inventive cross-genre angle. Other times, as on his lush, romantic reading of the Burt Bacharach / Elvis Costello -ballad “Look Up Again,” he takes a more straightforward approach, framing his yearning Miles Davis – esque lines with reverb-soaked piano and shimmering orchestral strings. Alpert even draws upon his iconic Tijuana Brass double-tracked trumpet sound for a bright, electro-Latin take on the Burt Bacharach / Hal David classic “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which also features vocals from his wife, muse, and frequent collaborator Lani Hall . Elsewhere, Alpert strikes a similarly pleasant, cross-genre stance with his originals, like the disco-salsa “Shake It” and the sophisticated, cocktail hour-ready Latin jazz of “Mystery Man.” Ultimately, Human Nature is a warmly produced album by an artist who has seen and done it all, and yet still finds magic and mystery in the process.

COME FLY WITH ME

RELEASED 2015

Since his 2009 return to regular recording after a ten-year hiatus, trumpeter Herb Alpert has stayed busy releasing albums, some with his wife, vocalist Lani Hall , and others, like 2015’s Come Fly with Me , on his own. 80 years old at the time of this release, Alpert has gone from instrumental pop icon of the ’60s and ’70s to journeyman performer with decades of experience to draw from. Working with a bevy of longtime collaborators including his nephew, programmer Randy “Badazz” Alpert , bassist/guitarist/producer Hussain Jiffry , keyboardist/producer Bill Cantos , keyboardist/guitarist Jeff Lorber , Alpert has crafted a breezy, low-key collection of originals and cover tunes, that nonetheless retains all of the melodic, jazz-inflected style of his classic recordings. Although Alpert takes on a handful of standards here, he approaches them with a creative sense of fun. To these ends, he reworks the classic Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen title track into a Day-Glo, Brazilian bossa nova production. Similarly, on Irving Berlin ‘s “Blue Skies,” Alpert ‘s supple trumpet is framed by lush orchestral strings that give way to a laid-back reggae groove accented by vibrato-soaked, Beatles -esque guitar hits. And it’s not just Broadway standards that benefit from the Alpertization process — the Beatles influence pops up again, this time with his stripped-down, ethereal take on the band’s 1969 classic “Something.” One of the most interesting and effective transformations here is Alpert ‘s R&B style overhaul of “I’ve Got a Lot of Livin’ to Do,” from the musical Bye Bye Birdie. Kicking off with an introspective keyboard figure, the song sounds like something along the lines of Miles Davis covering a yearning ’90s soul ballad. As with most all of Alpert ‘s post-2009 material, Come Fly with Me is a much more low-key and intimate recording than the productions that marked the best of his ’60s Tijuana Brass period. That said, by keeping things simple, Alpert and his collaborators illuminate all of the tenderness and direct lyricism of his horn playing.

IN THE MOOD

RELEASED 2014 Although trumpeter and pop icon Herb Alpert is largely associated with his jazz, Latin, and lounge instrumentals of the ’60s and ’70s, he’s never fully retired from the music scene. In fact, Alpert ‘s 2013 album with wife and vocalist Lani Hall won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Coming on the heels of that album, Alpert ‘s 2014 effort, In the Mood , finds the stylistically wide-ranging artist once again bringing together a mix of jazz standards, smooth pop instrumentals, and infectious original compositions. Working with his nephew, arranger/producer Randy Badazz Alpert , as well as such longtime collaborators as Bill Conti , Mike Shapiro , and Jeff Lorber , Alpert has crafted an album that perfectly updates his approach for a modern audience. Alpert was an early adopter of electronic sounds and In the Mood is no exception as it features a very club-ready, EMD reworking of the swing-era classic “Chattanooga Choo Choo.” It’s an iconoclastic move also echoed in his funky, hip-hop-inflected take on “Blue Moon.” While Alpert always seems to be in search of new musical ground to explore, he’s conversely never afraid to revisit his past, as evidenced by his electronic- and contemporary R&B-infused arrangement of his old Tijuana Brass number “Spanish Harlem.” Elsewhere, Alpert teams again with Hall for several gorgeous, laid-back Latin numbers including the funky “Don’t Cry,” and the romantic “5 A.M.” And it’s not just Alpert ‘s knack for crafting listenable, relaxing pop songs that makes In the Mood so enjoyable. Arguably, Alpert ‘s trumpet playing has only deepened over the years and cuts here, like his poignant orchestral reading of “When Sunny Gets Blue,” reveal his gift for small group jazz balladry that brings to mind a mix of Chet Baker and Harry Sweets Edison . Ultimately, whether he’s digging deep into a jazz standard, or defying expectations with a breezy electronic arrangement, Alpert proves yet again he is a true pop journeyman on In the Mood .

STEPPIN’ OUT

RELEASED 2013 Trumpeter and pop music icon Herb Alpert and his wife, former Brasil ’66 vocalist Lani Hall , have recorded and performed together a few times since meeting over 43 years ago. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that the duo began touring and performing regularly. In 2009, they released the album Anything Goes , which found them interpreting standards and Brazilian music. They followed that album up with 2011’s I Feel You , which continued in the jazz, Brazilian, and Latin music vein, adding in more contemporary pop songs. Alpert and Hall ‘s 2013 release, Steppin’ Out , also features a warm collection of songs that hit upon all the stylistic touchstones of their careers, from ’60s novelty instrumentals to Latin music, Brazilian bossa nova, smooth jazz, and American popular song standards. Once again joining Alpert and Hall here is their touring ensemble featuring pianist/keyboardist Bill Cantos , drummer/percussionist Michael Shapiro , and bassist Hussain Jiffry . Steppin’ Out also reunites Alpert with keyboardist Jeff Lorber , who appeared on Alpert ‘s 1997 album, Passion Dance , and who produced his 1996 album, Second Wind . Generally speaking, Steppin’ Out is the most stylistically varied of the three Alpert / Hall albums, moving from an electronic/dance reworking of “Puttin’ on the Ritz” to the atmospheric orchestral ballad “I Only Have Eyes for You,” Hall ‘s poignant interpretation of Irving Berlin ‘s “What’ll I Do?,” a dramatic symphonic take on Astor Piazzolla ‘s 1982 nuevo tango masterpiece “Oblivion,” and the smooth funk of the Alpert / Lorber original “Migration.” The album even ends with Alpert revisiting his 1963 Tijuana Brass breakthrough hit “The Lonely Bull,” this time with additional orchestral and electronic flourishes that sound less ’60s lounge pad and more contemporary James Bond action movie theme, accented by Alpert ‘s Miles Davis -influenced soloing. Ultimately, Steppin’ Out represents not just the third album in a trilogy, but a loving creative partnership that, for Alpert and Hall , spans a lifetime.

Original Release Date: 2011 Re-issue Date: 2016

Trumpeter Herb Alpert and vocalist and wife Lani Hall teamed as a duo for the critically acclaimed live recording Anything Goes in 2009. I Feel You is the studio follow-up to that fine recording, and the contrasts between the two are marked. While the former album reflected new takes on the jazz canon, this one delves into rock, pop, jazz, and Brazilian tunes and interprets them with a contemporary international feel, without leaving jazz behind. Backed by their touring group — pianist/keyboardist Bill Cantos , drummer/percussionist Michael Shapiro , and bassist Hussain Jiffry — Alpert and Hall commence with a reading of Van Morrison ‘s “Moondance” that is as influenced by Arabic modalism as it is the nocturnal bop-noir inherent in its melody. Led by a fretless bassline and shakers, Alpert runs through the lyric on muted trumpet. The pair begins singing together, over a minute in as the piano enters the fray and shakers are complemented by hand drums. “Cast Your Fate to the Wind” is a showcase for Hall ‘s trademark phrasing and Alpert ‘s jazz-wise improvisation on a Caribbean-based rhythm. It’s languid, lovely, and, in its gentle way, it pops thanks to the rhythm section. Other highlights here include the Brazilian-flavored tunes: “There Will Never Be Another You” (even with Alpert ‘s reedy vocals), “Berimbau,” “The Corner (Clube’ de Esquina),” and “Viola.” Hall ‘s vocals — which are still in top form — and Alpert ‘s playing complement one another symbiotically (especially on the latter tune). The reading of “Here Comes the Sun” is radical. It’s double-timed by Shapiro’s snare and painted by Cantos ‘ Rhodes piano with an alternate melody played by Jiffry ‘s electric bass while Alpert and Hall hold down the original melody (trumpet and vocal) in the quiet storm. Likewise, “Blackbird” is performed as a funky modern jazz number with smooth samba overtones. The African drumming on “What Now My Love,” with Alpert ‘s clipped (and slightly reverbed) phrasing on the melody transforms the tune. The reading of “Call Me” (which he produced for Chris Montez in 1965) is reinvented here as a lithe, syncopated romantic groover. Less successful is “Fever,” because its center isn’t in the vocal or trumpet but in the rhythm section’s interplay. That quibble aside, I Feel You is an excellent contemporary jazz recording by a veteran duo whose intuition is nearly flawless.

ANYTHING GOES

Original Release Date: 2009

Re-issue Date: 2016

Herb Alpert had never really embraced his inner jazzman over the course of an entire album before; the closest he came was 1992’s Midnight Sun , ultimately a highly controlled cocoon of a recording. But this, at long last, is it, and it represents a string of firsts for the protean trumpeter — his first truly straight-ahead jazz project, his first all-new album of any kind in ten years, his first complete album with his wife, singer Lani Hall (who gets co-billing), and his first released by a label which he did not co-own. The concept grew out of a series of live dates that he and Hall played in various cities, from which these tracks were assembled. Despite some apparent lightly applied overdubs, it remains an intimate small group album of mostly standards, the kind of thing one might run across at Vibrato — Alpert ‘s jazz club in the hills above Los Angeles. Hall appears in tandem with Alpert on nine of the 14 tracks — with Alpert taking five for himself — which guarantees an additional unique layer of intimacy as Alpert wraps his pithy horn lovingly around Hall ‘s voice. Hall has kept her Portuguese in gear, doing well by Ivan Lins ‘ “Dinorah, Dinorah” and the rapid-fire syllables of “Para-Raio.” She adopts a dark, dusky tone on “That Old Black Magic,” and for “Let’s Face the Music And Dance,” she takes on an air of desperation, focusing on the words, “there may be trouble ahead.” Still in good shape in his seventies, Alpert retains the marcato bravado of the Tijuana Brass days and the more recent, terse, moody, muted tones of a Miles acolyte; in “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” these two personas go mano a mano rather humorously. “The Trolley Song,” done at an unusually lazy, loping pace by the Tijuana Brass more than four decades before, is taken at a more traditionally quick, Latin-accented tempo here, and this is the third time around for “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Your Face” — now a casual vocal showcase for Alpert with a witty coda that sneaks in a horn lick from “This Guy’s in Love with You.” The adept backup trio of Bill Cantos on keyboards — who comes up with a few nifty quotes himself — Hussain Jiffry on electric bass, and Michael Shapiro on drums and Latin percussion goes down agreeably. This is a classy, welcome return to album-making for Alpert , and a good fit for Concord’s adult-oriented roster.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Russia and Moscow are synonymous with Red Square and the Kremlin and that's hardly surprising as you'll find these places absolutely stunning!

• - Walk-through the Resurrection Gate and don’t forget to flip a coin so you’ll be sure to come back one day!
• - Visit the world's famous Kazan Cathedral .
• - See the State Department Store (GUM), once the Upper Trading Stalls, which were built over a century ago and still operating!
• - Admire the lovely St. Basil's Cathedral! The French diplomat Marquis de Custine commented that it combined "the scales of a golden fish, the enamelled skin of a serpent, the changeful hues of the lizard, the glossy rose and azure of the pigeon's neck" and wondered at "the men who go to worship God in this box of confectionery work".
• - Walk by Lobnoye Mesto (literally meaning "Execution Place", or "Place of Skulls"), once Ivan the Terrible's stage for religious ceremonies, speeches, and important events.
• - Entering the Alexander Garden , you’ll take in spectacular views of Russian architecture from ancient to Soviet times, as well as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with an eternal flame. Watch Changing of the Guard Ceremony every hour in summer and every half an hour in winter.

Kitai-gorod:

Stroll along medieval Kitai-gorod with its strong ancient Russia feel, known for its bohemian lifestyle, markets and arts.

• - Nikolskaya Street. Here you will find the Russia's first publishing house, the second oldest monastery, and Ferryn Pharmacy, known as the number one pharmacy back in Soviet times and famous for its Empire-style architecture.
• - Ilinka Street. The financial street of the Kitaigorod (China Town) district, where you’ll find the Gostiny Dvor (Merchant’s Yard), which is now a showroom for Ferraris and Maseratis. The street was designed in the 1790s by Catherine the Great.
• - Varvarka street. The oldest street in Moscow, which dates back to the 14th century, and still has remnants of early Muscovite architecture, such as the Old English Court and the Palace of the Romanov’s.
• - Kamergersky Lane. Only a small road of about 250 meters, it is home to some of the oldest artifacts of the city, as each building holds a fascinating story. Some of Russia's most famous writers, poets, and composers from as far back as the Golden Age of Russian culture, have lived or worked on this lane.

Historic City Center

Walk the historical old center of Moscow with its cool local vibe, including the main Tverskaya street , and indulge in desserts in the first grocery “Eliseev's store” , housed in an 18th century neoclassical building, famous for its baroque interior and decoration.

From our tour. Impressions of our American tourist:

At 3:30, as energy flagged, lunch was on the agenda at a Ukrainian restaurant.  Just in time!  We asked our guide to order for us.  We all had the same thing....borscht (the Ukrainian version has beans and more tomatoes than the Russian version, which has more beets and includes beef). 

The special high bread served is called galushki.  Our main course was golubtsy...a dish of minced meat rolled in braised cabbage leaves.  Both dishes called for optional sour cream as a topping....of course, yes, please....I recommend it. 

Full, satisfied, and completely refreshed, it was off to Red Square and St. Basil's and GUM department store.  Red Square is not so named because of the color of the brick walls of the Kremlin.  Rather the word for 'red' and the word for 'beautiful' are similar in pronunciation....and, there you have it. 

As we made the turn by the National Museum in front of which is the mounted sculpture of the "Marshall of Victory," Giorgy Zhukov from WWII and caught our first view of St. Basil's, my friend and I simultaneously emitted "Oooohhhhh!"  There it was....the iconic onion domes of St. Basil's!  Hooray....it was open until 7....we had about 30 minutes and were allowed in, AND we could take photos with no flash. 

Now, I can give you a taste of what we saw in the other cathedrals in Cathedral Square.  What we learned is that St. Vasily and St. Basil are one in the same....Russian/English.  He was a common man who wandered Moscow unclothed and barefoot.  But, all, even Ivan the Terrible, heeded his opinions derived from his visions.  Ivan had this cathedral built over his tomb. 

As we exited and took photos up close of the onion domes, Inna presented us with chocolate (how did she know we were ready for another energy boost, and we each got a big piece of chocolate.  The baby's name pictured on the wrapper of this famous Russian chocolate is Alyonka....the Russian Gerber baby, don't you think? 

One could wear out the credit card in GUM's (capitalized because it is actually a government abbreviation), but the 'kitty' and my credit card stayed in my pocket as we strolled through the glass-topped arcade. 

We then strolled through some of Moscow's lovely pedestrian streets; paused to listen as a wonderful quartet performed Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" in an underground passage to cross the busy street (hooray!....we DID have our 'classical concert' experience after all; a request Alina tried in vain to fill because none was scheduled those days), saw the Bolshoi, which means 'big' (my friend has yet to recover that their performance schedule did not coincide with our cruise), saw the Central Telegraph Building, dating from the 1930's, and made our way to the Ritz-Carlton to see the night view of Moscow from the rooftop bar, called O2. 

There were fleece blankets to wrap yourself in....yes, it got that cold when the sun set.  We each ordered something hot to drink...the ginger, mint, lemon tea served to me in a parfait glass (for 600 rubles...about $9....you pay for the view here!) was delightful and hit the spot perfectly.  It was time to call it a night....

“To all my music educator friends….you would be crazy not to use Livy with UR Tours for any trips you might be planning! This past weekend was the third time I used her and she is the best. Thanks for taking care of us the weekend Livy. We had a blast!”

“Teacher friends, or anyone who wants to plan a trip for a group I cannot express how amazing Livy and UR Tours and Events is to work with to create a wonderful experience. I’ve worked with Livy for twelve years including five performance trips to Walt Disney World and two workshop/Broadway show trips to New York City. Simply THE BEST!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. I was nervous about traveling as a chaperone with 30+ high schoolers, as I have been on badly organized trips, but this was amazing! Enough information was handed out before hand and, as unexpected things came up (Covid-19 national crisis) . . . . Thanks for a great trip!”

“I wouldn’t recommend any other company to plan our trips. They are well organized and always have my student’s best interest in mind. The trips I have taken with them (Hawaii, California and Florida) have always run smoothly. I can’t recommend them enough.”
