And while he and Hall have concert dates books into mid-December, next February Alpert plans to hit the road with a revived version of the Tijuana Brass, the band he led from the early ‘60s into the mid-70s...
I wonder if Herb Alpert has the master tapes of the mono albums from "The Lonely Bull" (1962) thru "The Beat Of The Brass" (1968) & if there is any word will it be released on CD or album in the near future???

I played back the video of Herb Alpert hosting the Hollywood Palace from December 1967 with the A&M stars, and Herb and the TJB played one nifty song that was heard from years prior to 1967. It was "The Love Nest", which was the theme song to the old George Burns and Gracie Allen Show from the...
I have only seen "Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass" on the record label listed for this LP on Discogs, so I'm wondering if anyone else has one like mine.
I didn't see it listed on Discogs, but it has the Monarch ∆8769 etching in the runout.
I tried to post a picture but it wasn't allowing me.
I was curious as to the strategy and numbers of singles from the various TjB albums. For the purposes of this post, I'm only considering actual 45s released in the USA and at the time that the TjB was active, so no Memories or Forget-Me-Nots releases. And I'm only considering the "classic 12"...
While driving to work today I was blasting the TJB Christmas album, specifically the song "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," and it struck me how much presence Bob Edmondson (trombone) has on this track. Herb only carries the melody for one verse and one line of another -- beyond that, he...
We're having an open house today at my work, so I was looking on Amazon Prime for some Christmas music to create a playlist from, and ran across an "album" called Christmas Things by Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass. I figured it would just be a knockoff of the standard Christmas album, but...
Hi,
I came across this youtube video of Herb and the TJB playing a concert in London in the year 1969:
The first part of this clip is the song "Music to Watch Girls by". This song was never released on a LP or CD.
What a shame because it fits very well to the kind of music the TJB performed...
With all of the medical and equipment names being thrown around in the hospital, what better time for some TJB titles altered to a medical theme.
I'll start with "Acupunture 1922"
"Memories Of Covid"
"What Next, My Doc"
From nearly a decade ago, here's a fun way for TjB fans to spend 20 minutes or so. Our Steve Sidoruk edited together a number of Herb's big hits in a clever way that showcases not only the songs but the artwork from around the world.
Years 1970-71. The TjB was officially disbanded; Herb Alpert continued to experiment with new musical ideas in the recording studio albeit under no obvious media or sales pressures; and the BMB continued performing. Both LPs from the period featured personnel changes and, predictably...
Year 1969. While the TjB was in sunset mode Herb Alpert, himself, was experimenting with new musical ideas and the BMB was rocketing to new artistic heights.
Warm was Herb’s first "non-TjB sounding" LP — so much so, that it’s more of a solo effort than a "brass" type outing. To that end...
Year 1968 was a bit of a disconnect for the TjB: On one hand, from a "TjB" standpoint, aside from a Christmas 45, there were only two singles released — both in early 1968 and both missing the Top-40: the novelty, Carmen (#51) and the rather milquetoast Cabaret (#72). Furthermore, as no more...
Year 1967 was the 1960s popularity apex for Herb Alpert and the TjB. Unfortunately, much of the TjB music recorded in 1967 lacked the carefree fun and overall exuberance that characterized the 1965-66 period. The aural causal factors of the overall diminishing excitement appear associated with...
Year 1966 was epoch making for Herb Alpert (and A&M). Herb, with a permanent touring band in place, begins to achieve international stardom with the issuance of inarguably his two finest TjB LPs charting #1 and #2 respectively. Meantime all year 1966 singles were hits: Spanish Flea (#27), What...
Year 1965 was earth shattering for Herb Alpert with the issuance of his two all-time most popular LPs.
