I guess I should do this while it's still March. (The Promise of Spring)

Another blast from the past

Just realised how similar elements of these songs are.

Funny, the common instrument makes it so easy to hear. I played them at the same time, and while not on track it makes the common elements more obvious.

I grew up on Sergio Mendez, even before I could operate the turntable. And Herb Alpert. My fav.

I cooked up a big pot of kicking chili chicken and was feeling a little south of the boarder. I think I had my Sinko-deMayo going on. It's just beginning to feel like spring up north that's why the Sergio.

With out getting too political with the current person in the white house those artists are not probably allowed in this country anymore.

Oye, they've had U.S. Passports for 40 years. 

Edit; in fact Herb Alpert was born in Los Angeles. lol

The things you learn along the way.
Herb Alpert is the 'A' in A&M Records.

How cool is that? Herb Alpert definitely contributed a depth and class to our 70s music.

I saw Herb Alpert in Munich in the late '90s. I don't really remember exactly what I was doing. We put the sound system in, for sure, and I was probably looking after the front-of-house desk, preparing it for the bloke who mixed the show.

Anyway, the band was fairly big, lots of brass of course, and about 6 percussionists. A really good show, if one likes that sort of music (I do, but not so much that I would buy all his records...).

Unfortunately, the room, the old Gasteig in Munich, a large concert hall built for orchestra concerts, isn't good for loud music. Even the drummer for Oscar Peterson who I saw in there a couple of times was almost too much for the room, with his big cymbals and "cymbal heavy" style.

So Herb Alpert fires up, and people started leaving. Too loud for them. At one point an entire row stood up and left all at once. A pity, really, because it was a good show otherwise.

Some stuff needs to be just loud enuf to be heard . Herb Alpert , Al Green , etc. should be like that .

Indeed. The thing is, when you have a bunch of brass instruments and a half a dozen percussionists going to town on stage, well, it isn't quiet, even with the sound system turned off.
