Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass were rolling right down the middle
of the American pop scene like a locomotive in 1966 -- and this album
captures them at the peak of their exuberance. By now, there really was a
live, touring edition of the Tijuana Brass, and there was an easily
identifiable TJB sound, with its strummed Latin American guitars, twin
trumpet leads, delicate marimba or vibes (played by Julius Wechter of
Baja Marimba Band fame in the studio), and strong grooves rooted in
Latin American music, jazz, and rock. Alpert's family of sidemen and
composers were busy generating their own catchy hits, like Wechter's
deadly, infectious "Spanish Flea," and the tragically short-lived Ervan
Coleman's wonderfully goofy "Tijuana Taxi." The bossman's trumpet could
be joyous, mocking, and melancholy in turns, and his choices of tunes
totally unpredictable; who else would dare juxtapose "The 3rd Man
Theme," "Walk, Don't Run," "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," and
"Zorba the Greek" on one record? No other TJB record has as much
unbuttoned fun and humor as this one -- and not surprisingly, it spent
six weeks at number one in 1966. ~ Richard S. Ginell
Please review pictures for condition of the record, album sleeve, etc. It has normal wear with light markings and scratches. Any
scratches are small and are unlikely to impact play but I have not
tested them.
I have other auctions, some are records, and can combine shipping if you ask.
