Gameenjoyer, you and I share many views and opinions, FWIW. And, I am a veteran Herb Alpert/TJB fan and listener AND a veteran trumpet player myself.
Lani Hall is truly an excellent singer with superior vocal control, tone, and style. She was pretty much "the voice" of the A&M group Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66.
At the same time, for every track featuring Lani Hall (and thus Sergio, et.al.) that I have listened to, I have listened to Alpert tracks hundreds and hundreds of times.
So, it comes down to what we as individuals spin the most.
Both of them are wonderful artists. Which we listen to is a matter of purely personal preference.
