Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Summertime
2016 U.S. CD reissue
Though Herb Alpert was technically taking a sabbatical from music in the early 1970s, he wasn’t entirely inactive, recording in dribs and drabs. So A&M assembled this brief collection of singles and stray cuts in the summer of 1971; it went nowhere on the charts but added some pleasing entries to the Alpert discography. The two best cuts, taken from a 1970 single, are as good as anything from the Tijuana Brass‘ heyday, with Alpert‘s own haunting tone poem “Jerusalem” and a great, strutting arrangement of “Strike Up the Band.” AllMusicGuide
