Herb Alpert's 'Music Volume 3: Herb Alpert Reimagines The Tijuana Brass' Out Now, Debuted At #1 On Apple Music Jazz, Top 5 At Amazon Jazz
Herb Alpert's iconic career continues with release of 'Music Volume 3: Herb Alpert Reimagines The Tijuana Brass' – which is out now. The album opened at #1 on Apple Music's jazz chart and is currently in the Top 5 on Amazon’s jazz best-sellers list. This is a continuing trend for Alpert: his two 2017 album releases both hit #1 on Apple Music and Amazon and also debuted at #1 on Billboard's jazz chart.
For ‘Music Vol. 3,’ Herb has revisited some of his legendary songs with the Tijuana Brass, and transformed them. This reinvention of historic recordings like “A Taste Of Honey,” “Lonely Bull,” “Spanish Flea” and many more were “scrambled up,” as Herb says. He explored new arrangements, production, new studio takes and in some case even samples of the originals to make them fresh and surprising, and a way for Herb to continue sharing positivity with a world in need of it. The project finds Herb continuing his partnership with producer Jochem van der Saag.
Several of the songs on ‘Music Vol. 3’ appeared on albums during an unprecedented run in 1966, when four Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass releases were on the Billboard Top 10 at the same time. ‘Music Vol. 3’ begins appropriately with "The Lonely Bull” and includes a surprising mash-up of "Spanish Flea" into "Rise," two famous songs blended together here for the first time.

Since 2014 Herb has won a GRAMMY (his 9th), and was nominated for an additional two. Herb also performed "A Taste of Honey" as a tribute to Hal Blaine on PBS' Great Performances show, ‘GRAMMY Salute To Music Legends.’ The program aired nationally earlier this month.
Herb will wrap 2018 with a run of holiday shows in December, where he will play selections from ‘The Christmas Wish,’ which he released last year for the holiday season, his first holiday album since 1968.
