Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Lollipops and Roses video 1966

Here is a great satire of Herb talking about were they all came from while listening to a great track. Clip is from the 1967 Herb and TJB Singer show shown on NBC. Tune is from Whipped Cream album. Enjoy.
P.S. I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to see Herb and Lani play at Blues Alley in Georgetown Washington DC 12 May 2008. The show was absolutely spectacular. After all these years, they both still have it: the skills and the love. Truly a remarkable show. Herb and Lani, thanks to all of the wonderful years of warming our hearts with your great art work. You both are truly blessed as well as I was at your show.

[@moyoloco]

God bless Herb & the boys, one of my favorite all time bands.

[@bobpurnell6721]

I grew thru my adolescent time with the TJB. The other kids teased me silly. Who cares about them?! This music defines me. 😊

[@peterg.bassist]

Great music like this from the TJB never grows old...great to listen to in 2020!

[@savedbyzero8947]

My late dad(Lord rest his soul) Forever played his music, weekend after weekend, And everyone enjoyed the vibes from the music, but not to mention the B B Qs!(H.B.Sr 1937-2018)

[@peterg.bassist]

LUV this tune and it was one of my dad's favorite tunes from the 1960's: it's a beautiful gem of a song!

[@mrgakozak]

The best of the best. This sound will never grow old.

[@kevmichael2064]

Yes it remains still the best!!!

[@Cal4ripkin]

-all I can say is I wish music sounded like this today --

[@TomTimeTraveler]

Ah, when music like this was pleasant and fun to listen to. Herb Alpert and the TJB belong to the golden age of music. Sadly, this doesn't exist today.

[@notnitsua]

Amazing

[@BadRonald1]

Neither do the people

[@kevmichael2064]

So True....I Grew Up with Herb and TJB...Thay still Got It....it is 2022...Still Listening!!!!👍☺️🎵

[@PatriciaHolmes-dc1fq]

Thank goodness for KZbin. Thank goodness for Herb Alpert!!! I was just a child, my parents had his albums and my siblings were allowed to play them on the record player. I would sit and stare at the covers, listening to the music. It made me feel so happy and so in love with Herb Alpert.

[@pedroballadares5253]

Magnificent environment, everybody Smokes, some of them drinking coffee, o I don’t know What ! Herb Alpert , the only one !!

[@epgrove1961]

Really miss the days when Herb Alpert & The TJB were on top of the music mountain.

[@Mryrhodesian]

This is AWESOME!! I think the number one thing that depresses me is when I realize that it was all better back in the 60's and 70's ,music, sports, life/. This song is a classic example. true greatness. Thankfully it's all preserved. But those times can never truly be duplicated.

[@nyterpfan]

Oh GOD does this take me back to when I was a kid--my folks played this stuff on the stereo ALL the time!! Everybody smoking cigarettes and drinking highballs--this music was literally THE cocktail party soundtrack--might not have been the healthiest era but in many ways it was a magical time!!

[@rainforest6020]

"Lollipops and Roses"...this is the BEST rendition of all time. It swings, is so melodic, and will endure for ages. God I still love the TJB after all these years...James, Columbus, OH

[@Macy1ify]

* Totally with you on this James from The Rainforest ! :)

[@indioside376]

T'was popular for Boomer generation, even if it was a 'square' music format.

[@billace90]

Reminds me of The Dating Game TV program of the late sixties!!!!

[@jamesfox2579]

Now THIS.... is Music to the EARS!💕

[@Turboy65]

Great stuff. My dad played this stuff so much when I was a kid that it's practically the soundtrack of my first ten years of life. Nothing but good memories. It always me think of flying to Las Vegas in 1967, on a 707. The visual just fits the music so well.

[@ReedGratz]

Herb Alpert is a fantastic guy! I value, so much, the couple years of working with him. He is so genuine, giving, caring about the 'right' stuff. American Hero.

[@dlandrews]

He is such a brilliant musician & producer. I grew up on his music when I was a kid. It brings back alot of great memories. Herb is the MAN!!!!!!

[@epgrove1961]

I never realized how great a band HA and the TJB was. So many great arrangements.

[@calcorrfan]

I remember this from 1966. Thanks so much for posting. It is really wonderful to see this again. Takes me back to my childhood.

[@rickenbacker315]

1965 and 66, our house was full of TJB blasting. My mom loved them, and a reckon I did too, cause I'm here. RIP mom, miss you and dad..

[@epgrove1961]

Love Herb Alpert & The TJB. Remarkable horn section. Very soothing songs.

[@TomTimeTraveler]

Add this to the "Real Music Hall of Fame."

[@oldschool5539]

They need to start one, Before todays CRAP prodominates!

[@kirklonnquist3265]

Herb Alpert was a master at playing the trumpet. What a great sounding band

[@sbarncar]

At one point I was in charge of archiving all of the TJB and Herb Alpert specials from 2" tape. This must be a third or fourth generation copy.... The quality of the original and the production values were top notch.

[@thetreasurehouse1742]

I wish that I could see the TJB and Louis Armstrong on The Kraft Music Hall. Does that compk4ete episode exist?

[@annettespallino1371]

So awesome

[@carlgranieri4942]

I transcribed this when I was a kid for piano trio and we played our version of this forever

[@neilstubbs4575]

This band proved once and for all that good music does not have an expiration date stamped on it. I wish they were still together and going as a band. We'll never hear better music than what they played.

[@epgrove1961]

Love the beat of this song. Jack Jones had the hit with the vocal version.

[@helioluz2934]

era meu som preferido ...curti muito Tijuana e Herb Alpert...todos os discos!

[@280StJohnsPl]

LOL ! Love the TB....even after all these years

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Everything wonderful - - about my life - - can be routed back to this song.

[@jennifursun3303]

the origional version of this on the Whipped Cream LP was with the Wrecking Crew of LA

[@TimothyForbesXXI]

I remember that oh so well, growing up as a kid! I always loved this song, and still do even today!

[@joeeaster5386]

THE MAN WITH THE CIGG. IS THE LATE NICK CEROLI...DRUMMER....GREATEST MAN YOU EVER WANT TO MEET..NICK HAD A HEART ATTACK... I REMEMBER WHEN HE LIVED IN STUDIO CITY...VALLEY HEART DRIVE....RIP NICK

[@tonyvincent9753]

Nick had a Camco Drum endorsement along with my drum teacher at the time, Joey Cass, of The Four Seasons. Camco would many years later become DW Drums.

[@annettespallino1371]

So talented

[@fromthesidelines]

The special this came from originally aired on April 24, 1967 on CBS (for Singer). It was repeated as the first telecast of the "KRAFT MUSIC HALL" on September 14, 1967 on NBC.

[@russallert]

In an interview a few years ago, Pat Senatore said that he and John Pisano made up that bit of Beatles-type rock and roll on the spot, and consequently they both got writers' credits.

[@pgroove163]

They were all very accomplished musicians

[@gaspo2180]

On this Christmas Day 2011, THIS song is still my favorite one. As a young drummer I must have played it a million times at home. Who knew it was Hal Blaine doing the drumming !!

[@Wetoddid9]

I saw TJB at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos Calif in early 1966 (?). During the performance they announced that they were going to introduce a new song at the show before it was officially released. It was this song. Great performance and it looked like they enjoyed playing.

[@dannovack1364]

All these years and never knew about it.

[@scottpapel8474]

Always loved this group such great stuff they put out

[@BadRonald1]

Man what a cool time that must’ve been. I still remember all the cocktails parties my Mom And Dad threw. The greatest generation loved their drinks boy.

[@lisamidlan1016]

I love them all

[@roygonzalez4367]

What a Great History of HA and the TYB which I didn't Know: I thought he was Mexican and his bandmates , yet many things were similar with me too 1st: , he was Raised in the Same Neighborhood as I Boyle Heights in LA 2nd : I played Trumpet too at a young age in an Orchestra I went to the LA Coliseum to see the Rams , Raiders, Rock bands & the Dodgers ( while Dodger Stadium was being Built the Dodgers played there ) 3rd : I went to the Hollywood Paladium and the Hollywood Bowl to see Rock bands ,play 4th : I played in our school Orchestra band at a young age too ( 4th Grade ) Inspired by my Father as well I still play as a Musician at 68 yrs old , I remember their music as a Kid and found it Awesome although I was into Rock Music I recorded some music too , went through the ups and downs as Musician do Many different people from different backgrounds and ages loved their music also Hung out in Hollywood & on Sunset Blvd

[@chriscerchio4382]

The late great Nick Ceroli played drums live and in the studio on all of the Tijuana Brass songs except for two songs, "A Taste of Honey" and "Lonely Bull" in which the drummer was Hal Blaine in the studio with the "Wrecking Crew"

[@gilberto2056]

Fantastic video

[@TCC309]

that's a great and interesting piece of video from a bunch of guys who at that time could do no wrong.

[@Rubysimms]

love it just love it xx

[@Macy1ify]

I love all types of music - Norwegian Death Metal, Viennese Classical, Modal Jazz, Fusion, Blue Grass, Classic Rock - and this ! Something about Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass remains forever timeless and fresh to me ! :)

[@cindyhuffman48]

My mom put their records on and her and I would clean our terazo floors and shake out the throw rugs. and like others my age, it was a part of child hood memories and i recognize all the tunes. just turned on to Herb again. Love them

[@giri.goyo_yt]

Saw a great docu on the BBC when visiting. Wish they would air it in the US, it said everything about Herb and Lani and filled in all the gaps that I missed growing up. Like this video is another gap filled! Brilliant and thanks for the upload, thegoochman!

[@jocknarn3225]

Aww man magic happy tune ... king hit🎺👍

[@ericjohnson8336]

This is wildly creative and funny

[@gaspo2180]

and THE WRECKING CREW did all the album music that we LOVED SO MUCH. These guys here were the ones who did all the TV shows and concerts. I still don't know if I'm disappointed or just SHOCKED some 40 years later. and what does HERB say about all this ?? NOTHING I GUESS !!

[@glennhanratty3054]

My guess is we weren't supposed to know about the session musicians, hence no input from Herb.

[@chocolatcats]

magnificent...I have loved this band since the early 60s...

[@lisamidlan1016]

The songs great music

[@JoeSmith1962]

I feel like I just won on The Dating Game!

[@280StJohnsPl]

The cigarettes in the ashtrays LOL

[@genekrupa7]

In my opinion, this is TJB's best song. People don't realize these songs were recorded by the "Wrecking Crew". All studio musicians!! with the great Hal Blaine on drums. Then Herb got very famous and he had to put a band together after that.

[@HunterMann]

Thanks! I'll give it another listen to Quiet Vill;age. with a focus on the marimba playing. Julius was co-arranger on several TJB songs, usually listed on the record's center label. Maybe there's a video or print interview with Herb, talking about his friendship & co-producing with Julius. This past summer I was in the DC/Maryland area and got to hear the amazing TJB tribute band called Black Sombrero Brass. You can hear clips of their music on their website. I got their CD, very good!

[@stevendedominici9171]

Good stuff.....love the 60s stuff...especially horns.

[@Macy1ify]

* Timeless - a great recording is forever !

[@ApartmentKing66]

@danielnordeen Right on! Sounds like you listened to it when it was new. Wish I could say that, having been born the year this video was taped. I've been a hardcore of Herb & the TJB since the mid 70s and picked up the trumpet at 10, and still play today. In fact, I played along with some of their music as a kid, and still do today. Nice to meet ya, brother! :o)

[@daveleopold5924]

How about one of best songs ever love the brass still do

[@dancalestini9850]

This is what my mom and dad listened to when I was a little fuck

[@Duffendogs]

GOD I WANT A CIGARETTE! I don't smoke but after watching this video I want to start.

[@jennifursun3303]

PLEASE DON"T. lost am older brother who would have been 68 this year. he died of COPD. one of the last things you want is for someone you love to watch you have to use oxygen to breath in order to live

[@annettespallino1371]

Me too and I never smoked. Epitome of classic cool. Sounds so fantastic

[@gilberto2056]

1966!!!

[@paulkitas4659]

OMG this is so funny,... but seriously John P on the guitar is really good. I saw him play in the valley

[@flashcardsyahoo]

Herb Alpert is a shining example of what an expert someone could become back in the day music and fine arts were still taught in schools. Today's kids don't know their circle of fifths. Yes Bob Edmondson is a multiinstrumentalist. You can see him playing bongos maracas and many other instruments as well as trombone. I think he was also Chief Comedy Relief. He's a funny guy. Question: what's the TJB song Tonni Kalash played at the end of his funny bit there?

[@tonyginnetti5828]

Jon Kuhlmeyer - That song Tonni s playing at the end of his comic bit sounds like "What now my love".

[@jennifursun3303]

no i know the song but can't think of the name of it, it is on the Whipped Cream LP

[@tonyginnetti5828]

jennifur sun - What now my love was on the 1966 lp of the same name. Great album, too!

[@HunterMann]

Julias Wechter was an original member before he started the Baja Marimba Band. Note: Herb's final sentance, he says Tiajuana Brass, not Tijuana Brass. About 50 years ago some people spelled it Tia Juana.

[@calcorrfan]

If you look at John Pisano's website, for example, you will see that he has had a long and distinguished career in music. His involvement with the TJB was just a small part of his career.

[@rafaelramirez3180]

Magnificent💥💥💥

[@dannovack1364]

To the younger generations . This was a song played on a not often seen TV show , The dating game . How many real adults remember this? No cheating kids.

Hola buenas tardes, muy buen video, y de risa🤣🤣🤣, una pregunta, sera un tema como tal, en donde sale el baterista, en la parte donde termina el baile candente y empieza muy brevemente como un jazz sabroso rapido, es un tema???? Y como se llama??? Gracias

[@epgrove1961]

What studio was this recorded at? LA? Gotta love the vintage reel 2 reel tape machine.

[@joeeaster5386]

[@jennifursun3303]

yep

[@jennifursun3303]

sadly at least three of the guys are now deceased. someone posted in a few days ago about the song the trombone player was doing on the little cli0 about this, it's the beginning of TJ Taxi

[@ApartmentKing66]

@HunterMann When you have a few minutes, and if you haven't already, listen to Martin Denny's 1959 hit "Quiet Village." That's Julius Wechter you'll hear on the marimba. However, you never see him on TJB albums for some reason. I'm thinking of the S. R. O. album in particular.

[@billace90]

LOL!!!!! The Iguana Brass????

[@Grisostomo06]

This is hilarious!!

[@ApartmentKing66]

What's really funny here is that they're sitting and listening to a tape of "Lollipops And Roses" as if they had JUST recorded it minutes earlier. Fact is, that whole "Whipped Cream" album was recorded by session musicians (now known as the "Wrecking Crew") and none of "the" Tijuana Brass shown in this clip were on that song or that album.

[@MobtownGeorge]

Real to Real tape FTW !

[@epgrove1961]

Did Bob Edmondson play other instruments besides the trombone?
