This is not your regular run of the mill Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. This is something different and bold. Somebody wrote that it was funky smooth jazz and that's what I think it is. It has that bold late 90's smooth jazz ouch but has enough drum and bass to make it a danceable beat. I think Look of Love, I want You, Love at First Glance, Think About It and Libertango are outstanding pieces of music, with each one arranged with a familiar tone - with the Herb Alpert touch. He is a premier arranger and it shows on Look of Love and I want You - 2 of the more familiar music in the CD set.
If you compare his early work with this CD and Second Wind, you'd swear they were played by two different musicians.
Herb Alpert loves experimenting with different music genres, a little jazz, disco, and Bossa Nova but still within the trumpet family. His muted trumpet play is excellent. Also, I read that when he recorded the music on his CD's, he basically lays down on the track what he "feels" with the music so it comes off spontaneous and not so contrived. I love that about artists who are so great at what they can do that they don't need to "rehearse" everything. Hats off to Herb Alpert. May you live another 50 years so you can make more music!
