In my opinion, Herb Alpert's most artistically successful recordings are Warm, The Brass Are Comin', and Summertime. The music on these really holds up--neither of these three releases sound even the least bit dated. It's a shame that they weren't as commercially successful for Mr. Alpert as his earlier recordings, but that's all the more reason to give them a contemporary re-evaluation. These three recordings are also chronologically the ones that follow Shout Factory's Alpert reissues so far... so I hope... please... if nothing else please make sure to reissue these!
Two other things that would also be great: a boxed set of all the TJB recordings, in chronological order, including the material from "Lost Treasures," and a detailed booklet putting it all in historical and musical perspective, including the contributions of Mr. Alperts brilliant sidemen and musical collaborators; and a DVD containing Mr. Alpert's three television specials from the '60s.
In any case, keep up the great work, whatever you choose to reissue... and realise, a lot of the people buying these reissues nowadays are musicians who respect and take this music seriously... |
