New Herb Album?

[Captain Bacardi]

I was in a bookstore today and was thumbing through an issue of Jazziz magazine that had an article on Jason Miles, who produced Gato Barbieri's The Shadow Of The Cat and Maximum Grooves: Coast to Coast, both of which featured Herb Alpert. In the article there was a brief note that Miles "has produced an album for Herb Alpert". There was no release date nor label.

If this is true this would be great news! I have some other CDs that Miles produced and they're really good. Could the drought be nearing an end?

There's just one track featuring Herb as a soloist, and it's excellent.

Here is an e-mail response to me from Jason Miles:

While Herb considers his next studio set and future music .....would be great to have a LIVE set from 1990's concerts / short tours released ....some wonderful musicians / groups supported Herb during these tours

and of course a DEFINITIVE BOX SET ....perhaps 6 CD's to cover TJB / Solo / Collaborations and some Rarities throughout his musical career ....
