These guys were 3 of my favorite trumpeters when I used to play.
Everyone knows of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass. This is their 3rd album, "South Of The Border," from 1964 (A&M Records, A&M 108). In their inimitable style, they cover several pop tunes of the day, plus add some new ones (including "Mexican Shuffle," which was used as the "Teaberry Shuffle" in 1960s TV ads for Teaberry gum. : ) This vinyl album is in very good condition. (I take good care of my records.). The cover is also in good condtion because it still has most of the original cellophane wrapping on it, but shows age along the open side where that cover has come off.
SIDE ONE:
"South Of The Border"
"The Girl From Ipanema"
"Hello, Dolly"
"I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face"
"Up Cherry Street"
"Mexican Shuffle"
SIDE TWO:
"El Presidente"
"All My Loving"
"Angelito"
"Salud, Amor Y Dinero"
"Numero Cinco"
"Adios, Mi Corazon"
The second album is by my all-time favorite, Doc Severinsen, who led the Tonight Show band during most of Johnny Carson's tenure. "Fever!" is his 6th album, and contains some fun numbers and some truly awesome, soaring work. Part of what makes this album so great is that Doc is accompanied by a great orchestra including the likes of Tony Mottola, Ed Shaughnessy, Phil Kraus, Dick Hyman, Bob Alexander, Bob Rosengarden, and others. It is Command Records #RS 893SD from 1966. This album has been played a lot, but it is still in good condition. The cover opens like a book, and includes a nice write-up of each cut; it is intact and still in very good condition for its age, but it is yellowing with age and has some minor scuff marks. Also, I took this to college with me, and I wrote my name on the album label and the back of the cover.
SIDE 1:
"In A Little Spanish Town"
"On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)"
"Cotton Fields"
"Walk Right In"
"The Sidewinder"
"Raggedy Jim"
SIDE 2:
"The Lady In Red"
"Tennessee Waltz"
"Fever"
"Ja-Da"
"He's Got The Whole World In His Hands"
"Cleopatra's Asp"
Finally, "Mumbles" is just a fun jazzy album by Clark Terry, also from the Tonight Show band. It is on the Mainstream label, # S6066, from 1964. It is Clark and some jazz cohorts having fun with his routine where he mumbles silly lyrics like an old jazz man, over some really cool musicianship going on. The music is a mix of old standards and new originals. This record is also in very good condition, as is the cover, which still has the original cellophane wrapper over almost all of it except the side opening. I did put my name on the record label on this one, too.
SIDE 1:
"The Mumbler Strikes Again"
"Big Spender"
"Rum And Mumbles"
"The Shadow Of Your Smile"
"Mumbles"
SIDE 2:
"Grand Dad's Blues"
"The Cat From Cadiz"
"Never"
"I'm Beginning To See The Light"
"Night Song"
"El Blues Latino"
