HERB ALPERT & THE TIJUANA BRASS
!!GOING PLACES!!
Original 1965 album liner notes
This is the fifth album from a group which our abbreviation-minded world is beginning to call the TJB – Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass.
The TJB’s previous albums and singles have sold like hot tortillas (and tortillas themselves have been selling faster than ever north of the border).
“Going Places,” this newest musical piñata from Trumpeter Herb Alpert and his men, should do equally well. In fact, their zitherless zing through “The Third Man Theme” took off as a single even before the album went to the pressers.
The reason for the TJB’s swift success seems obvious. A new sound nowadays is hard to find – a good new sound. Herb Alpert found it by turning to what is probably (rain dances excepted) the oldest organized sound southwest of Dodge City, the strolling Mexican mariachi band.
It has gained something in translation, including a beat and a bass line the likes of which Pancho Villa never heard, plus some studio wizardry that gives Herb’s brave squad the fire power of a battalion.
What remains, however, to give the TJB its special old-new flavor is the triumphant trumpet – brilliant, mellow, melancholy or, now and again, even mocking. It can (collectively) blow down the walls of the plaza de toros, or chant a moonlight duet with the mandolin.
These latest sides confirm what has been hinted in earlier outings by the Tijuana Brass: that the sound carries an international passport and will travel. This is to say, the Alpert instrumentation lends itself just as nicely to the music of Manhattan or Vienna as to the music of Mexico.
It is, in fact, a surprisingly versatile sound. And although the album title is intended geographically, “Gong Places” also suggests to me that the TJB and Herb Alpert are still very much on the march, musically speaking. With each album, they discover a new range. They are, you might say, going places.
