1	Definitive Hits (2001) more music like this by Herb Alpert How self-serving can one musical genius be to have a label he co-founded release a collection of his best-loved songs? But this is not just any self-serving genius. This is the guy who brought the world Dolores Ericson covered in shaving foam. This is the self-serving genius who scored the best James Bond film that wasn't really a James Bond film ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
2	Whipped Cream & Other Delights (1965) more music like this by Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass Building upon South of the Border's (1964) Top Ten success, Herb Alpert dismissed the contingency of Los Angeles-based studio instrumental all-stars, which he had christened the Tijuana Brass. Because there was enough demand for live dates, just like a musical Gepetto, Alpert formed a real Tijuana Brass. The bandleader/trumpeter was joined by ... see all copies from $5.85!
3	Greatest Hits (1970) more music like this by Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass Released in 1970, a bit too late to capitalize on the Tijuana Brass at the peak of their appeal, this early hits collection compounded the error of its tardy timing by only including selections from the TJB's first five albums. Still, since the CDs of three of the five albums are currently out of print, this can serve as a decent, if brief, ... see all copies from $4.17! new only from $34.95!
4	What Now My Love (1966) more music like this by Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass With this album, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass settle into their hitmaking groove, the once strikingly eclectic elements of Dixieland, pop, rock, and mariachi becoming more smoothly integrated within Alpert's infectious "Ameriachi" blend. They sound more like a band now; along with Alpert's now-indelibly stamped trumpet sound, we can recognize ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $28.22!
5	Christmas Album (1968) more music like this by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Herb Alpert turned to jazz's Shorty Rogers -- then toiling in the L.A. film and TV studios -- for voice and string arrangements on his Christmas album, and Rogers in turn went all out for schmaltz. Rogers' cooing voices introduce several of the tunes, whereupon the Tijuana Brass do their mostly unrelated Ameriachi thing familiar from past albums. ... see all copies from $3.48! new only from $15.41!
6	Rise (1979) more music like this by Herb Alpert If the 12" single of Herb Alpert's "Rise" hadn't taken over the charts the way it did back in 1979, one wonders if anyone would have gotten around to checking out the Tijuana Brass, or if Alpert would have gone down in the books as the guy who had a number one with a Burt Bacharach tune ("This Guy's in Love with You"). Instead, the cut energized ... see all copies from $2.37! new only from $28.22!
7	Going Places (1965) more music like this by Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass Herb Alpert and 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, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $32.88!
8	Keep Your Eye on Me (1987) more music like this by Herb Alpert The unbelievable sales success of this record is a testament to Herb Alpert's extraordinary ability to keep his ear to the ground -- no doubt aided by his position as vice-chairman and co-owner of A&M Records -- and adapt to the times. At a time when A&M's Janet Jackson was blazing up the charts, Alpert journeyed to Minneapolis and cut some tracks ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.00!
9	The Lonely Bull (1962) more music like this by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass The colossus that is A&M Records starts right here with the first album by the 1960s instrumental juggernaut known as the Tijuana Brass. True, there was no "Tijuana Brass" per se at this time; just Herb Alpert and a coterie of Los Angeles sessionmen, with Alpert overdubbing himself on trumpet to get that bullring effect. Also, Alpert was just ... see all copies from $2.93! new only from $23.52!
10	Stay Awake: Interpretations of Vintage Disney Films (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Whether you regard him as one of the greatest storytellers in American history or a cold-hearted marketing genius who forced a set of prepackaged consumerist myths on several generations of unsuspecting youth, there's little argument that the films of Walt Disney have become an indelible part of our collective subconsciousness. Then again, for ... see all copies from $10.90! new only from $13.34!
11 view cover	Very Best of Herb Alpert (1999) more music like this by Herb Alpert This late-'90s compilation of Herb Alpert provides a straightforward anthology of highlights from his three-plus-decade career, both with and without his ubiquitous Tijuana Brass. While the title sums up the contents, The Very Best of Herb Alpert (1999) does suffer from the odd omission and questionable entry -- which is all the more noticeable as ... see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
12 view cover	The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection (1998) more music like this by Burt Bacharach While this three-CD, 75-song box set only has a half-dozen tracks actually credited to Burt Bacharach, it's certainly the best representation of his music likely to ever be assembled. Spanning the late '50s through a 1996 duet with Elvis Costello, this is the cream of his work as a composer (and, frequently, producer), properly concentrating ... see all copies from $15.48! new only from $43.19!
13 view cover	Whipped Cream & Other Delights Rewhipped (2006) more music like this by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Rewhipped amounts to a pseudo-addition to the original Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass catalog. This album of remixes by late-'90s and 2000-era DJs features new trumpet solos by Herb Alpert on seven tracks. All the cuts here appeared on the original 1965 release, Whipped Cream & Other Delights, though not in the same order. Before rolling your ... see all copies from $16.59! new only from $16.59!
14 view cover	Second Wind (1996) more music like this by Herb Alpert They finally couldn't keep the man away from the recording studio, or from owning a record label. Alpert is back in fine playing form on this part-mellow, part-funky set, blowing his trumpety heart out over a steady set of radio-ready grooves built up by keyboards player Jeff Lorber. It's intriguing to listen to the set, in fact, because there's a ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.11!
15 view cover	Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1973) more music like this by Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass While the first volume of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass' Greatest Hits focuses on the very well-known numbers like the theme from "The Happening" and the like, it's this second volume that proves far more interesting. The reason is in the more jazz oriented approach of the group, and the more textured and nuanced production. There are tunes here ... see all copies from $1.99!
16 view cover	Passion Dance (1997) more music like this by Herb Alpert Latin jazz purists who cynically looked at Herb Alpert's classic Tijuana Brass hits as synthetic fluff may find themselves blown away by the raw, live ensemble energy of Passion Dance, a hearty fiesta disc which proves once and for all that the legendary hornman is a clever jazz improviser who can blow authentic Latin sounds in frameworks beyond ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.00!
17 view cover	Oasis Smooth Jazz Awards Collection (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Fans of smooth jazz who have been into the music since its inception forget to realize how intimidating it is for those just getting into it to get acquainted with all the joys -- and all the artists -- the genre has to offer. There have been a handful of multi-artist samplers in the past, but usually these have been released by one label to ... see all copies from $12.48! new only from $12.48!
18	My Abstract Heart (1989) more music like this by Herb Alpert My Abstract Heart was the disappointing followup to the hugely successful Keep Your Eye On Me. There's no Janet Jackson to sing along, just associate producer Eddie del Barrio providing a battery of synthesized strings, keyboards, bass, and percussion. Much of the album is somewhat melancholy, and the lack of any pop vocal connection (there is a ... see all copies from $4.89!
19 view cover	Ultimate Christmas [Arista] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists While perhaps not living up to the lofty goals of its title, Ultimate Christmas is an excellent holiday sampler nevertheless, compiling classic performances from artists of all eras and musical backgrounds to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. The many highlights include Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas," ... see all copies from $7.87! new only from $12.69!
20 view cover	North on South St. (1991) more music like this by Herb Alpert Ever attuned to what is happening out there in recordland, Herb Alpert tried to graft his trumpet onto the rhythms and textures of hip-hop and techno-dance music in North On South St., hoping again to crash the R&B charts. He used four young black co-producers (Greg Smith, Robert Jerald, Jimmy B and Troy Staton) and they get some festively ... see all copies from $11.50!
21	Blow Your Own Horn (1983) more music like this by Herb Alpert Blow Your Own Horn is an anthology of concepts and production teams that mostly retrace the steps Herb Alpert had taken since "Rise," reflecting the steady hand of a seasoned pop instrumental pro. "Blow Your Own Horn," "The Midnight Tango" and "Garden Party" all try to emulate the laidback, high-tech groove of "Rise" -- with the inimitable help of ... see all copies from $10.00!
22 view cover	Jazz to the World (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This Christmas jazz album has a wide variety of generally enjoyable performances by 16 different groups. High points include a funny version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by singers Dianne Reeves and Lou Rawls, a Herbie Hancock-Eliane Elias piano duet on "I'll Be Home for Christmas," and Holly Cole's "Christmas Blues." The other performers include ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
23 view cover	Going Places [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass 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 ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
24 view cover	Sounds Like [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass For one week in June 1967, Sounds Like was able to break the Monkees' 31-week hammerlock on the number one slot on the charts -- just two weeks before the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper took over and changed the world. This shows, lest you forget -- and many have -- just how popular Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass were, still spanning the generations during ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
25 view cover	South of the Border [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Herb Alpert was still using an array of SoCal studio all-stars as his Tijuana Brass when South of the Border (1964) began to restore the combo's good name after the modest Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Vol. 2 (1963) failed to ignite a fire in listener's ears. In his essay accompanying Shout! Factory's 2005 Signature Series reissue of South of the ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
