Herb Alpert Is...

HERB ALPERT IS… is the title of the long-awaited documentary that covers the incredible career of Herb Alpert. An amazing look at an amazing career deserves an amazing soundtrack and the newly released HERB ALPERT IS… does not disappoint. The release - on three CDs or five 180gm vinyl LPs - comes in a lavish set that easily matches the majestic music contained within. The music begins with "The Lonely Bull" and features a very healthy amount of classic TJB tracks - including the #1 single "This Guy's In Love With You" as well as other longtime favorites like "Tijuana Taxi" and "Spanish Flea" (AKA The Dating Game theme) - before heading off on a more varied solo career tackling everything from Smooth Jazz to Funk to Trip Hop… with some Reggae thrown in for good measure.

While some of these recordings date back nearly 60 years, they are still fresh and invigorating. Alpert's knack for recording songs with instantly hummable melodies is undeniable and a great hook stands the test of time. Herb Alpert is a man who turned an inspiration into a career that continues to inspire others. The proof is here for all to behold. Herb Alpert is… music. And music is… Herb Alpert.
