Early life and career[edit]

Herb Alpert was born and raised in theBoyle Heights[3]section ofEastside Los Angeles,[4]California,[5]He was the youngest of three children (a daughter and two sons)[6]born to Tillie (née Goldberg) and Louis Leib (or Louis Bentsion-Leib) Alpert.[7]His parents wereJewishimmigrants to the U.S. fromRadomyshl(in present-dayUkraine) andRomania.[8][9][10]

Alpert was born into a family of musicians. His father, although a tailor by trade, was also a talentedmandolinplayer. His mother taught violin at a young age, and his older brother, David, was a talented young drummer.[11]His sister Mimi, who was the oldest,[5]played the piano.[6]Herb began to play trumpet at eight years old.[12]

Alpert started attendingFairfax High School in Los Angelesbeginning in 10th grade. In 11th grade (1952) he was a member of their gym team. One of his specialties was performing on the rings, but an appendectomy a week before a League Meet sidelined his path. In his senior year (1953), he took to focusing on his trumpet.

While attending theUniversity of Southern Californiain the 1950s,[13]he was a member of theUSC Trojan Marching Bandfor two years. Alpert served in theU.S. Armyduring theKorean War,where he played in the6th Army Band.[14][15][16]In 1956, he appeared in an uncredited role as "Drummer on Mt. Sinai" inThe Ten Commandments.[17]

In 1957, Alpert teamed up with Rob Weerts, another burgeoning lyricist, as a songwriter forKeen Records.A number of songs written or co-written by Alpert during the following two years became Top 20 hits, including "Baby Talk"byJan and Deanand "Wonderful World"bySam Cooke.[18]In 1960, he began his recording career as a vocalist atRCA Recordsunder the name of Dore Alpert.[8]In 1962, Alpert and his new business partner Jerry Moss formed Carnival Records with "Tell It to the Birds" as its first release, distribution outside of Los Angeles being done by Dot Records. After Carnival released its second single "Love Is Back In Style" by Charlie Robinson, Alpert and Moss found that there was prior usage of the Carnival name and renamed their label A&M Records.[19]

The Tijuana Brass years[edit]

All artists should be looking for their own voices. I went through a period of trying to sound likeHarry JamesandLouis ArmstrongandMiles [Davis].And then whenClifford Browncame along, it was almost discouraging. The guy was so good! But I kept at it. I loved playing. And then when I heardLes Paulmultitrackhis guitar on recordings, I tried that with the trumpet. Boom—that sound came out. After I released 'The Lonely Bull', the record that startedA&Min 1962, a lady in Germany wrote a letter to me. She said, 'Thank you, Mr. Alpert, for sending me on a vicarious trip toTijuana.' I realized that music was visual for her, that it took her someplace. I said, 'That's the type of music I want to make. I want to make music that transports people.'
— Herb Alpert inOff BeatMagazine, April 24, 2017

The song that jump-started Alpert's performing career was originally titled "Twinkle Star", written by Sol Lake (who would write many Tijuana Brass songs over the next decade).[20]Alpert was dissatisfied with his first efforts to record the song, then took a break to visit a bullfight inTijuana,Mexico.As Alpert later recounted, "That's when it hit me! Something in the excitement of the crowd, the traditional mariachi music, the trumpet call heralding the start of the fight, the yelling, the snorting of the bulls, it all clicked."[21]Alpert adapted the tune to the trumpet style,mixedin crowd cheers and other noises for ambience, and renamed the song "The Lonely Bull".[22]

He personally funded the production of the record as a single, and it spread throughradio DJsuntil it caught on and became a Top 10 hit in the fall of 1962. He followed up quickly with his debut album,The Lonely Bullby "Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass". Originally the Tijuana Brass was just Alpert overdubbing his own trumpet, slightly out of sync.[23]

It was A&M's first album (with the original release number being #101), although it was recorded for Conway Records. The title cut reached No. 6 on theBillboardpop chart. For this album and subsequent releases, Alpert recorded with the group of Los Angeles session musicians known asthe Wrecking Crew,whom he holds in high regard.[24]

Alpert's 1965 albumWhipped Cream & Other Delightsproved so popular — it was the number one album of 1966, outsellingThe Beatles,Frank Sinatra,andThe Rolling Stones— that Alpert had to turn the Tijuana Brass into an actual touring ensemble rather than a studio band. Some of that popularity might be attributable to the album's notoriously racy cover, which featured modelDolores Ericksonseemingly clothed only in whipped cream. However, as writer Bruce Handy pointed out in aBillboardarticle, two other Brass albums,Going Places(1965) andWhat Now My Love(1966), "held the third and fifth spots on the 1966 year-end chart despite pleasant yet far more anodyne covers."[25]Another measure of the band's popularity is that a number of Tijuana Brass songs were used as theme music for years by theABC TVgame show,The Dating Game.[26]

In 1966, a short animated film byJohnandFaith Hubleycalled "A Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Double Feature"was released; it won theAcademy Award for Best Animated Short Filmin 1967. The film featured two songs by the band, "Tijuana Taxi"and"Spanish Flea".[27]Also in 1967, the Tijuana Brass performedBurt Bacharach's title cut to the first movie version ofCasino Royale.[28]

Alpert's only No. 1 single during this period, and the first No. 1 hit for his A&M label, was a solo effort: "This Guy's in Love with You",written byBurt BacharachandHal David,featuring a rare vocal.[22][29]Alpert sang it to his first wife in a 1968CBS Televisionspecial titledBeat of the Brass.The sequence was filmed on the beach inMalibu.The song was not intended to be released, but after it was used in the television special, allegedly thousands of telephone calls toCBSasking about it convinced Alpert to release it as a single, two days after the show aired.[30]Although Alpert's vocal skills and range were limited, the song's technical demands suited him.[31]

After years of success, Alpert had a personal crisis in 1969, declaring "the trumpet is my enemy." He disbanded the Tijuana Brass, and stopped performing in public.[10]Eventually he sought out teacher Carmine Caruso, "who never played trumpet a day in his life, (but) he was a great trumpet teacher."[32]"What I found," Alpert toldThe New York Times,"is that the thing in my hands is just a piece of plumbing. The real instrument is me, the emotions, not my lip, not my technique, but feelings I learned to stuff away -- as a kid who came from a very unvocal household. Since then, I've been continually working it out, practicing religiously and now, playing better than ever."[10]The results were noticeable; as Richard S. Ginell wrote in anAllMusicreview of Alpert's comeback album,You Smile - The Song Begins,"His four-year sabbatical over, Herb Alpert returned to the studio creatively refreshed, his trumpet sounding more soulful and thoughtful, his ears attuned more than ever to jazz."[33]

Post-Brass musical career[edit]

In 1979, five years after his last chart hit with the Tijuana Brass, Alpert tried to record adiscoalbum of rearranged Brass hits. "It just sounded awful to me," Alpert was quoted later. "I didn't want any part of it." But because the musicians were already booked, Alpert recorded other material, including the instrumental "Rise",(with initial version created by Alpert's nephew, Randy" Badazz "Alpert and his close friend, musician Andy Armer). The song hit number one on theBillboard Hot 100after it was used repeatedly on the soap operaGeneral Hospital.The song also became a hit in the UK, but in a speeded-up version, due to British DJs not realizing that the American12 "singlewas recorded at 33 rpm instead of 45 rpm.[34]

In 2013, Alpert releasedSteppin' Out,which won a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album.[35]

A&M Records[edit]
