Herb Alpert – Over The Rainbow [CD]

Description

On his latest album, OVER THE RAINBOW, Herb Alpert began the same way he has done for all of his albums over the years: searching for great melodies. That search has resulted in the prolific trumpeters latest offering, a collection of 11 classics and 1 brand new, original track. That original song, Skinny Dip, opens the album with a quirky, fun vibe before things move on to recognizable tunes from the great American songbook, which are included for various reasons close to Herbs heart. He felt the danger in the tightrope walk of recording his own version of the iconic Over The Rainbow, which was cemented within pop culture by Judy Garland’s performance and many other fantastic recordings. And whether its a tribute to Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt on All Love, Bill Withers on Aint No Sunshine, or the great Louis Armstrong on What A Wonderful World, there is always a deeper connection and meaning for Herb on every cover selected for this album, making it one of the most personal projects he has ever worked on. OVER THE RAINBOW will be available everywhere on September 20 from Herb Alpert Presents.
