This music will take you back to those sunny, funny days of love bugs, laugh-ins, and bugaloos. If you weren't around in the 1960's, then listening to this CD will be, other than a history lesson in music, a jovial experience of a unique pop group made up of festive and unusual combinations of instruments and sounds.
Herb Alpert & the TJB were among a number of pop/light rock aggregations of the 1960s that chose to entertain their audiences with sounds both untapped and slightly psychedelic. "Love Potion #9," a chart topper for Herman's Hermits and others, is given the "freaky" sound of a harpsichord in addition to the slow drag of the trumpets, trombones and throbbing drum beat. Alpert's trumpet solidifies the upbeat "Spanish Flea" and "A Taste of Honey," and turns these performances into definitive classics.
