												<h3>Over The Rainbow</h3>
												<p>Original Release Date: 2019</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Legendary pop and jazz icon <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/herb-alpert-mn0000674332">Herb Alpert</a></span> continues his prolific career run with his 2016 studio album, <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/human-nature-mw0002965618">Human Nature</a></span>.

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.<span style="color: #87ceeb;"> <a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/human-nature-mw0002965618">Human Nature</a></span> finds him completely engaged, continuing to explore new sounds and songs. Joining <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a></span> here are several longtime collaborators in producer/percussionist<span style="color: #87ceeb;"> <a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-shapiro-mn0000460403">Michael Shapiro</a></span>, producer/arranger/keyboardist <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/eduardo-del-barrio-mn0000182252">Eduardo Del Barrio</a></span>, bassist/guitarist <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hussain-jiffry-mn0002337339">Hussain Jiffry</a></span>, keyboardist/arranger/producer <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-cantos-mn0000075627">Bill Cantos</a></span>, and others. As with <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s</span> other albums since coming out of a ten-year hiatus in 2009,<span style="color: #87ceeb;"> <a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/human-nature-mw0002965618">Human Nature</a></span> 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 <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-jackson-mn0000467203">Michael Jackson</a>‘s</span> “Human Nature,” <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a></span> goes for an inventive cross-genre angle. Other times, as on his lush, romantic reading of the <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/burt-bacharach-mn0000642542">Burt Bacharach</a>/<a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/elvis-costello-mn0000058549">Elvis Costello</a></span>-ballad “Look Up Again,” he takes a more straightforward approach, framing his yearning <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/miles-davis-mn0000423829">Miles Davis</a>–</span>esque lines with reverb-soaked piano and shimmering orchestral strings. <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a></span> even draws upon his iconic Tijuana Brass double-tracked trumpet sound for a bright, electro-Latin take on the<span style="color: #87ceeb;"> <a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/burt-bacharach-mn0000642542">Burt Bacharach</a>/<a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hal-david-mn0000766592">Hal David</a> </span>classic “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which also features vocals from his wife, muse, and frequent collaborator <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lani-hall-mn0000103460">Lani Hall</a></span>. Elsewhere, <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a></span> 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, <span style="color: #87ceeb;"><a style="color: #87ceeb;" href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/human-nature-mw0002965618">Human Nature</a></span> 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.</p>

												<h3>COME FLY WITH ME</h3>
												<p><strong>RELEASED 2015</strong></p>
<p>Since his 2009 return to regular recording after a ten-year hiatus, trumpeter <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/herb-alpert-mn0000674332">Herb Alpert</a> has stayed busy releasing albums, some with his wife, vocalist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lani-hall-mn0000103460">Lani Hall</a>, and others, like 2015’s <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/come-fly-with-me-mw0002865885">Come Fly with Me</a>, on his own. 80 years old at the time of this release, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/randy-badazz-alpert-mn0003193442">Randy “Badazz” Alpert</a>, bassist/guitarist/producer <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hussain-jiffry-mn0002337339">Hussain Jiffry</a>, keyboardist/producer <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-cantos-mn0000075627">Bill Cantos</a>, keyboardist/guitarist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jeff-lorber-mn0000190888">Jeff Lorber</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> takes on a handful of standards here, he approaches them with a creative sense of fun. To these ends, he reworks the classic <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/sammy-cahn-mn0000987625">Sammy Cahn</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jimmy-van-heusen-mn0000309464">Jimmy Van Heusen</a> title track into a Day-Glo, Brazilian bossa nova production. Similarly, on <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/irving-berlin-mn0000103748">Irving Berlin</a>‘s “Blue Skies,” <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s supple trumpet is framed by lush orchestral strings that give way to a laid-back reggae groove accented by vibrato-soaked, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/beatles-mn0000754032">Beatles</a>-esque guitar hits. And it’s not just Broadway standards that benefit from the Alpertization process — <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-beatles-mn0000754032">the Beatles</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/miles-davis-mn0000423829">Miles Davis</a> covering a yearning ’90s soul ballad. As with most all of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s post-2009 material, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/come-fly-with-me-mw0002865885">Come Fly with Me</a> is a much more low-key and intimate recording than the productions that marked the best of his ’60s <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tijuana-brass-mn0003435323">Tijuana Brass</a> period. That said, by keeping things simple, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> and his collaborators illuminate all of the tenderness and direct lyricism of his horn playing.</p>

												<h3>IN THE MOOD</h3>
												<p><strong>RELEASED 2014</strong><br />
Although trumpeter and pop icon <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/herb-alpert-mn0000674332">Herb Alpert</a> 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, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s 2013 album with wife and vocalist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lani-hall-mn0000103460">Lani Hall</a> won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Coming on the heels of that album, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s 2014 effort, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-the-mood-mw0002710332">In the Mood</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/randy-badazz-alpert-mn0003193442">Randy Badazz Alpert</a>, as well as such longtime collaborators as <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-conti-mn0000057835">Bill Conti</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/mike-shapiro-mn0000411792">Mike Shapiro</a>, and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jeff-lorber-mn0000190888">Jeff Lorber</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> has crafted an album that perfectly updates his approach for a modern audience. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> was an early adopter of electronic sounds and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-the-mood-mw0002710332">In the Mood</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tijuana-brass-mn0000955773">Tijuana Brass</a> number “Spanish Harlem.” Elsewhere, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> teams again with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a> for several gorgeous, laid-back Latin numbers including the funky “Don’t Cry,” and the romantic “5 A.M.” And it’s not just <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s knack for crafting listenable, relaxing pop songs that makes <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-the-mood-mw0002710332">In the Mood</a> so enjoyable. Arguably, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/chet-baker-mn0000094210">Chet Baker</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/harry-sweets-edison-mn0000670641">Harry Sweets Edison</a>. Ultimately, whether he’s digging deep into a jazz standard, or defying expectations with a breezy electronic arrangement, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> proves yet again he is a true pop journeyman on <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-the-mood-mw0002710332">In the Mood</a>.</p>

												<h3>STEPPIN’ OUT</h3>
												<p><strong>RELEASED 2013</strong><br />
Trumpeter and pop music icon <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/herb-alpert-mn0000674332">Herb Alpert</a> and his wife, former <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/brasil-66-mn0000005056">Brasil ’66</a> vocalist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lani-hall-mn0000103460">Lani Hall</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/anything-goes-mw0000814563">Anything Goes</a>, which found them interpreting standards and Brazilian music. They followed that album up with 2011’s <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/i-feel-you-mw0002087207">I Feel You</a>, which continued in the jazz, Brazilian, and Latin music vein, adding in more contemporary pop songs. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a>‘s 2013 release, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/steppin-out-mw0002585218">Steppin’ Out</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a> here is their touring ensemble featuring pianist/keyboardist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-cantos-mn0000075627">Bill Cantos</a>, drummer/percussionist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-shapiro-mn0000460403">Michael Shapiro</a>, and bassist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hussain-jiffry-mn0002337339">Hussain Jiffry</a>. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/steppin-out-mw0002585218">Steppin’ Out</a> also reunites <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> with keyboardist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jeff-lorber-mn0000190888">Jeff Lorber</a>, who appeared on <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s 1997 album, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/passion-dance-mw0000020673">Passion Dance</a>, and who produced his 1996 album, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/second-wind-mw0000186322">Second Wind</a>. Generally speaking, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/steppin-out-mw0002585218">Steppin’ Out</a> is the most stylistically varied of the three <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>/<a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a> albums, moving from an electronic/dance reworking of “Puttin’ on the Ritz” to the atmospheric orchestral ballad “I Only Have Eyes for You,” <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a>‘s poignant interpretation of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/irving-berlin-mn0000103748">Irving Berlin</a>‘s “What’ll I Do?,” a dramatic symphonic take on <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/astor-piazzolla-mn0000607967">Astor Piazzolla</a>‘s 1982 nuevo tango masterpiece “Oblivion,” and the smooth funk of the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>/<a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lorber-mn0000190888">Lorber</a> original “Migration.” The album even ends with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> revisiting his 1963 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tijuana-brass-mn0000955773">Tijuana Brass</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/miles-davis-mn0000423829">Miles Davis</a>-influenced soloing. Ultimately, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/steppin-out-mw0002585218">Steppin’ Out</a> represents not just the third album in a trilogy, but a loving creative partnership that, for <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a>, spans a lifetime.</p>

												<h3>I FEEL YOU</h3>
												<p><strong>Original Release Date: 2011<br />
Re-issue Date: 2016</strong></p>
<p>Trumpeter <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/herb-alpert-mn0000674332">Herb Alpert</a> and vocalist and wife <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lani-hall-mn0000103460">Lani Hall</a> teamed as a duo for the critically acclaimed live recording <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/anything-goes-mw0000814563">Anything Goes</a> in 2009. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/i-feel-you-mw0002087207">I Feel You</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-cantos-mn0000075627">Bill Cantos</a>, drummer/percussionist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-shapiro-mn0000460403">Michael Shapiro</a>, and bassist <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hussain-jiffry-mn0002337339">Hussain Jiffry</a> — <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a> commence with a reading of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/van-morrison-mn0000307461">Van Morrison</a>‘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, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a>‘s trademark phrasing and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s reedy vocals), “Berimbau,” “The Corner (Clube’ de Esquina),” and “Viola.” <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a>‘s vocals — which are still in top form — and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cantos-mn0000075627">Cantos</a>‘ Rhodes piano with an alternate melody played by <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jiffry-mn0002337339">Jiffry</a>‘s electric bass while <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s clipped (and slightly reverbed) phrasing on the melody transforms the tune. The reading of “Call Me” (which he produced for <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/chris-montez-mn0000109274">Chris Montez</a> 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, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/i-feel-you-mw0002087207">I Feel You</a> is an excellent contemporary jazz recording by a veteran duo whose intuition is nearly flawless.</p>

												<h3>ANYTHING GOES</h3>
												<p><strong>Original Release Date: 2009</p>
<p>Re-issue Date: 2016</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/herb-alpert-mn0000674332">Herb Alpert</a> had never really embraced his inner jazzman over the course of an entire album before; the closest he came was 1992’s <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/midnight-sun-mw0000612559">Midnight Sun</a>, 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lani-hall-mn0000103460">Lani Hall</a> (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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a> 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 — <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>‘s jazz club in the hills above Los Angeles. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a> appears in tandem with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> on nine of the 14 tracks — with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> taking five for himself — which guarantees an additional unique layer of intimacy as <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> wraps his pithy horn lovingly around <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a>‘s voice. <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hall-mn0000103460">Hall</a> has kept her Portuguese in gear, doing well by <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/ivan-lins-mn0000110564">Ivan Lins</a>‘ “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, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> retains the marcato bravado of the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tijuana-brass-mn0000674332">Tijuana Brass</a> days and the more recent, terse, moody, muted tones of a <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/miles-mn0000423829">Miles</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tijuana-brass-mn0000674332">Tijuana Brass</a> 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 <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a> with a witty coda that sneaks in a horn lick from “This Guy’s in Love with You.” The adept backup trio of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-cantos-mn0000075627">Bill Cantos</a> on keyboards — who comes up with a few nifty quotes himself — <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hussain-jiffry-mn0002337339">Hussain Jiffry</a> on electric bass, and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-shapiro-mn0000460403">Michael Shapiro</a> on drums and Latin percussion goes down agreeably. This is a classy, welcome return to album-making for <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alpert-mn0000674332">Alpert</a>, and a good fit for Concord’s adult-oriented roster.</p>
