About
A wildly successful trumpet player, music producer, and record label executive (he co-founded A&M Records), Herb Alpert has been steadily recording since 1962. He's racked up more than 25 gold or platinum releases, taken home eight GRAMMY® Awards, performed at the Super Bowl, and at one time had four different albums in the top ten of the <i>Billboard</i> album chart. After early success with his concept group The Tijuana Brass (best known for the classic <i>Whipped Cream & Other Delights</i>), Alpert put out a slew of high-quality solo albums throughout the '70s and '80s. On 1982's <i>Fandango</i>, he revisits the Latin stylings of his TJB days, working with the likes of Juan Carlos Calderon, Jose Quintana, and Roberto Carlos. The resulting mostly instrumental record remains much-loved by fans new and old, and it features one of his last big hits, "Route 101."
