Music Volume 3: Herb Alpert Reimagines the Tijuana Brass
finds trumpet legend
Herb Alpert
updating his trademark instrumental pop sound with programmed electronics, keyboards, and added instrumentation. Joining him is
producer/sound designer
Jochem van der Saag
, who helps
Alpert
rework a handful of his best-loved
Tijuana Brass
hits for a modern, club-oriented audience. However, rather than offering Ibiza-style anthems, they instead deliver pleasantly snappy electronic arrangements that fit into the easy listening tradition
helped define throughout the '60s and '70s when most of these songs were originally on the charts. Fittingly, the album kicks off with a bass- and synth-heavy take on
's first big hit, 1966's "The Lonely Bull." We also get a jaunty mash-up of 1965's "Spanish Flea" and 1979's "Rise." Elsewhere, they deliver a reggae-meets-Bond theme-sounding version of 1965's "A Taste of Honey," and apply a woozy dub beat to 1966's "Work Song." Slightly more traditional is
's lush rendition of "Spanish Harlem," which trades some of the original track's mandolin ambiance for cinematic strings. Admittedly, these electronic reimaginings never quite match the kitschy, analog charm of the original
recordings. Besides the interesting "Spanish Flea/Rise" mash-up, there's not really anything so different or unexpected here as to completely justify
's revamping of the material. Nonetheless, it's nice to hear the trumpeter revisit his legacy with such a warm sense of fun. ~ Matt Collar
