Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass What Now My Love (1966)
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass\n2005 Shout! Factory LLC\n\nOriginally Released April 1966\nCD Edition Released \nRemastered CD Edition Released June 7, 2005\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: With this album, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass settle into their hitmaking groove, the once strikingly eclectic elements of Dixieland, pop, rock, and mariachi becoming more smoothly integrated within Alpert's infectious "Ameriachi" blend. They sound more like a band now; along with Alpert's now-indelibly stamped trumpet sound, we can recognize jazzman John Pisano's distinctive rhythm guitar, Lou Pagani's piano, the droll Bob Edmondson's dulcet trombone, etc. Pisano, who debuted as a composer on Going Places, comes up with a memorably whistleable song "So What's New," and the rest of Alpert's songwriting brigade (Ervan Coleman, Julius Wechter and Sol Lake) chime in with some lively, catchy tunes. There is also an assortment of pop, film, and Broadway standards of the day, all impeccably arranged by Alpert, whose production instincts grew sharper and surer with every release. Result: another hugely entertaining hit LP, one that stayed at number one longer than any other TJB album (nine weeks). -- Richard S. Ginell\n\nAmazon.com Album Description\nIssued in April 1966, What Now My Love held the #1 spot for nine weeks, longer than any other Tijuana Brass album, and the title track garnered two Grammy Awards. \n\nEach album in the Herb Alpert Signature Series features meticulously remastered sound, deluxe packaging, detailed liner notes, and an intro by Herb Alpert containing personal recollections and anecdotes. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThe TJB at their commercial peak., August 17, 2005 \nReviewer: David Kenner (Fort Worth, Texas United States)\nWith over 2 months in the #1 spot, this was the commercial peak for Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass. Like other popular acts of the sixties, Herb was releasing LPs fast and furious and this came hot on the heels of "GOING PLACES". And like he had with every previous album, he took the basic elements of what made his earlier recordings work but added a little something extra here and there to make the current release unique. "WHAT NOW MY LOVE" finds Herb in a more pensive mood on most of the tracks, and even the more upbeat numbers have an air of sophistication about them. "Freckles" and "Brasilia" may swing free and easy, but the raucous throwing-caution-to-the-wind attitude of "Third Man Theme" and "Zorba The Greek" are absent. Herb's arranging genius continues to shine on great versions of "If I Were A Rich Man", "Five Minutes More", an elegant "Shadow Of Your Smile" and a somber "It Was A Very Good Year". And then there's the title track which waged a cover battle in 1966 with Sonny and Cher. Both versions were big hits, perhaps because both were unique. While S&C's version relied on the schmaltzy lyrics and the singers' dramatic intensity, the Brass' version was the complete opposite -- melody driven with a light, breezy jazz arrangement. \n\nThere were two different mixes of this album floating around when it was originally released. For anyone familiar with both, it should be noted that this CD contains the extended "bump and grind" version of "Plucky" and the version of "Brasilia" which is missing the trombone overdub. \n\nOverall, another great Shout Factory TJB reissue with beautifully remastered sound and a nice booklet containing an essay and great photos. \n\nHalf.com Album Credits\nLarry Levine, Engineer\nHerb Alpert, Producer\nJerry Moss, Producer\n\nAlbum Notes\nLiner Note Authors: Herb Alpert; Josh Kun.\n\nRecording information: Gold Star Recording Studio, Hollywood, California.
