My mom had the Honey in the Horn album and I was a big fan of the "Java" hit single.
I'd never heard Al Hirt's version of "Music to Watch Girls By" before... I agree it sounds more TJB-ish than the TJB does sometimes! I wonder, did Herb not record that song because everybody else found it first? Or did he turn it down?
A Herb Alpert/Al Hirt duets album might have been cool.
