Of course Herb Alpert is the "A" in A&M Records. Don't you think that might help his ratings?

[@Turboy65]

The Brass were an incredibly tight, professional, polished outfit, and they HAD to be. That stacatto style of playing with several horns at once requires the tightest of timing and exact phrasing to pull it off right. Even here on this live performance, you can hear imperfections that you dont hear on the albums. Which gives you sme faint idea of what a MASTERWORK the Tijuana Brass albums actually are. Because they are just barely a shade short of being PERFECT.

Pete Fountain's clarinet is more horizontal than Herb's trumpet. It seems to cause no issues with his playing though.

[@gustavosierra1378]

Lowell...I've been commenting on Herb Alpert especially during this particular period when he was about to disband the original Tijuana Brass. You noticed how far back he has to lean to point the bell of his horn out to the mic and audience. It is a bad habit that developed over the course of his constant touring with the TJB during the latter half of the 60s. He tells us that he lost his ability to play for a time and he took 1970, 71 and 72 off to rest and concentrate on A & M Records which grew by leaps and bounds during this time. He enlisted the help of teacher Carmine Caruso to help Herb find his emboucher again and really took him most of the 70s to re-master again. He dedicated a song to "Carmine" Caruso on the 1975 album Coney Island. It is quite a story this particular time in Herb's life. Listen to the difference in his playing from the late 60s to the Rise album. Quite the rebirth.

[@pacz8114]

Fairly sure this was OCT 1969 -- the final tour of the original TJB. Herb's playing was at a low point at this time; on this number, Tanni is playing the lead part further suggesting Herb was experiencing technical issues.

[@russallert]

Yeah, I can hear it, and it's almost painful to listen to at times because he's clearly struggling. Herb himself has said that he was having trouble playing on that tour, and that the trumpet had gone from being a friend to an enemy. He eventually found that poor technique had caught up with him, so during the four years between the first and second TJB (1970-74) he took trumpet lessons and relearned how to play properly.

[@Capcoor]

@@russallert What was wrong with his playing before?

[@pacz8114]

Round about '67, Herb seem to have problems properly supporting his tone (you can really hear it on the LP, "Ninth") -- probably due to air support (others thought that he simply wasn't practicing enough -- trumpet requires about 2hr/day to show any marked improvement). He also developed two stylistic bits: 1) his "marcato" attack on notes -- rather than playing through the note; and 2) an odd little "air spurt" (don't know how else to describe it) he'd tag on to the last note of a given phrase. He went to Caruso (in NYC, I believe) who addressed these techincal gaps. When Herb came back on the scene in '74/'75, his playing was better than it had ever been -- which is why his playing on those two '70s TJB LPs is superior to all the '60s LPs.

[@ironmandave3000]

2:39 I noticed she has no lock nuts on his third valve slide. Perhaps of Chicago era Benge Herb is an amazing trumpet player with horrible embouchure and playing posture. Just sayin.
