Living Brass and Living Marimbas Play Songs Made Famous By Herb Alpert [1969]

RCA Camden CAS-2337

"People like music that's fun.  They want something to sing in the shower and whistle on the street.  Herb Alpert is the man who gave it to them by using two trumpets playing in parallel thirds and sixths over a strong beat.  What critic Morgan Ames calls "modern ragtime."  The music is simple, melodious, infectious.

Here then is the music of Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass interpreted by the Living Brass and Living Marimbas.  It defies analysis.  Enjoy it.  That's what music is all about anyway."  [Excerpt liner notes]
