Herb Alpert • Definitive Hits

How self-serving can one musical genius be to have a label he co-founded release a collection of his best-loved songs? But this is not just any self-serving genius. This is the guy who brought the world Dolores Ericson covered in shaving foam. This is the self-serving genius who scored the best James Bond film that wasn't really a James Bond film ever. This is the self-serving genius who set the music to elevators and waiting rooms around the world. This is Herb Alpert. From the opening charge of "The Lonely Bull" (complete with homesickness-inducing crowd noise) to the closing washes of "Making Love in the Rain," this album chronicles one of the most prolific and constantly contemporary careers in the music industry. Taking his Tijuana Brass in their jalopied "Tijuana Taxi," Alpert blows from the "Heat Wave"-inspiring "Mexican Shuffle" to the bouzouki blitz of "Zorba the Greek." Perhaps his most famous film-related song, however, is the Burt Bacharach classic "Casino Royale," a song that could inspire even Woody Allen to take on the world's most dastardly criminals. Bacharach also gave Alpert one of his most famous ballads, and one of Alpert's peachiest vocal offerings, with "This Guy's in Love With You." Alpert has a groovy thing going with Nat Adderley's "Work Song" as well. On this collection, Alpert swings from the authentic Latin punch of "Fandango" to the smooth American drive of "Route 101," and from the funky crescendo of "Rise" to the hip pop hops of "Diamonds" and "Keep Your Eye On Me." Along the way, Alpert offers delicious delights like the minor-keyed rag "Whipped Cream," the sweet blooms of "Lollipops and Roses," and a bee-utiful spin through "A Taste of Honey." How sweet it is to have all his hits together at last.

¿Qué tan egoísta puede ser un genio musical para que un sello que él cofundó publique una colección de sus canciones más queridas? Pero este no es cualquier genio egoísta. Este es el tipo que trajo al mundo a Dolores Ericson cubierta de espuma de afeitar. Este es el genio egoísta que consiguió la mejor película de James Bond que no fue realmente una película de James Bond. Este es el genio egoísta que puso música a los ascensores y salas de espera de todo el mundo. Este es Herb Alpert. Desde la apertura de "The Lonely Bull" (con el ruido de la multitud que induce a la nostalgia) hasta el final de "Making Love in the Rain", este álbum es la crónica de una de las carreras más prolíficas y constantemente contemporáneas de la industria musical. Tomando su Tijuana Brass en su "Tijuana Taxi", Alpert sopla desde la "Ola de calor" inspirada en el "Mexican Shuffle" hasta el bombardeo buzuki de "Zorba el Griego". Sin embargo, quizás su canción más famosa relacionada con el cine es el clásico de Burt Bacharach "Casino Royale", una canción que podría inspirar incluso a Woody Allen a enfrentarse a los criminales más cobardes del mundo. Bacharach también le dio a Alpert una de sus baladas más famosas, y una de las vocales más pacíficas de Alpert, con "This Guy's in Love With You". Alpert también tiene algo genial con la "Canción de trabajo" de Nat Adderley. En esta colección, Alpert pasa del auténtico golpe latino de "Fandango" a la suave conducción americana de "Route 101", y del crescendo funky de "Rise" a los hip-hop de "Diamonds" y "Keep Your Eye On Me". A lo largo del camino, Alpert ofrece delicias como el trapo de tono menor "Crema Batida", las dulces flores de "Chupetines y Rosas", y un giro obediente de abeja a través de "Un Sabor a Miel". Qué dulce es tener todos sus éxitos juntos al fin.
