Herb Alpert/Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass/Tijuana Brass: Herb Alpert (trumpet); John Pisano (electric guitar); Tonni Kalash (trumpet); Bob Edmondson (trombone); Lou Pagani (piano); Pat Senatore (bass guitar); Nick Ceroli (drums).

Herb Alpert was still using an array of SoCal studio all-stars as his Tijuana Brass when South of the Border (1964) began to restore the combo's good name after the modest Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Vol. 2 (1963) failed to ignite a fire in listener's ears. In his essay accompanying Shout! Factory's 2005 Signature Series reissue of South of the Border, Alpert comments that the Sol Lake composition "Mexican Shuffle" "opened a new door for me." That passageway meant the loss of the Tijuana Brass' practically forced mariachi style and the rise of Alpert's approach in arranging familiar melodies in fresh, creative settings. Nowhere would this stylistic progression be as pronounced as in the horn-driven updates of several then-concurrent chart hits. For instance, the mod sonic wrinkle in "Girl from Ipanema" emits a darkness veiled in mystery, directly contrasting the light buoyancy of "Hello! Dolly" or the footloose feel of the Beatles' "All My Loving." They seamlessly fit in with Sol Lake's "Salud, Amor y Dinero" and a cover of Julius Wechter's playful mid-tempo "Up Cherry Street" -- which Wechter's own Baja Marimba Band had just recorded for their 1964 self-titled debut. The ballads "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," "Angelito," and "Adios, Mi Corazon" provide contrasts with Alpert's sensitive scores never seeming maudlin or unnecessarily over the top. If the regal "El Presidente" sounds particularly familiar, it may well be due to Alpert's slight renovation of the "Winds of Barcelona" from the Tijuana Brass' previous effort, the less than impressive Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Vol. 2. It was renamed "El Presidente" presumably to honor the recent memory of the slain U.S. leader John Fitzgerald Kennedy. ~ Lindsay Planer

5 stars Alpert At His Best!
"South Of The Border" is definitely one of the three best Herb Alpert Tijuana Brass releases. The other two would be "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" and "Going Places!" The title track, "South Of The Border," is actually the renamed, "Down Mexico Way." The album contains a great mix of hits of the day, such as, "The Girl From Ipanema," "Hello, Dolly!," and "All My Loving" and some of the best tunes from TJB songwriters Sol Lake and Julius Wechter - "Mexican Shuffle" and "Up Cherry Street." "Mexican Shuffle" became a major hit for Alpert when the Clark Gum Company licensed it for their Teaberry Gum commercials. The entire country was dancing to the "Teaberry Shuffle" in the mid 60's. This CD is a must have and the remastering is faithful to the original "wall of sound" created by Phil Spector's recording engineer, Larry Levine, who did this 1st album for Herb Alpert.

5 stars BEAUTIFUL ALBUM!!
I have the original in LP, and it's his best album. It came out when I was a little child, and so I grew up listening to his music. Tks to my parents good musical taste, Herb was introduced into my life and from that time forward, he's been part of me. Now, my son listens to his music too. And hopefully, he'll pass onto his own children one day... HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM/CD. 5 STARS!!

4 stars The Brass of your Youth
The wonderful horn and snappy Mexican music I remember from the 60`s. Mr. Alpert and his band still sound as amazing as ever. These are the sounds that competed with the Beatles and "acid" rock and still rang out great arrangements, crisp sound and tunes everyone recognized and make you snap your fingers and hum along. It is hard to believe these records are getting so hard to find today, they are the forerunners of "The Canadian Brass",Impact of Brass and ultimately "Chicago"- you go Herb!!!

Herb Alpert Lost Treasures CD  (2005) Remastered; Special Edition

South Of The Border album
CD $12.09  4.3 stars Audio Samples
LOST TREASURES is a collection of rare and previously unreleased tracks. Early in 2005, Shout! Factory launched an extensive reissue campaign of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass' '60s catalog. In the first wave of reissues, Alpert's classic 1962 debut, The Lonely Bull, and his third album, 1964's South of the Border, were given upgrades and they were joined by a new compilation of rarities called Lost Treasures. Compiled in large part by Alpert himself, Lost Treasures features a generous selection of 22 tracks, recorded somewhere between 1962 and 1972. It's difficult to discern the exact dates since the otherwise excellent liner notes by Josh Kun (with an introduction by Alpert) do not mention when any of the individual songs were recorded or if they've appeared on other albums (Alpert alludes to the fact that some of the cuts here were album tracks on otherwise "unsuccessful" ...

Herb Alpert The Lonely Bull CD  (1962) Remastered; Special Edition

South Of The Border CD music
CD $12.49  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
There is a dreamy-eyed wonder about Herb Alpert's debut album. Within its Latin-esque affectations, the album is a moodily romantic concoction of easy listening and progressive sounds. "El Lobo" is a portrait of love's sorrow, tenderly painted with trumpets, guitars, and ghostly vocal choruses. "The Lonely Bull" is cinematic, with imagery of bullfights vividly implied by the opening sound effects of a roaring crowd. The deep electric guitar sounds like the Ventures, a popular 1960s instrumental rock group. Even at the outset, Alpert's style has the elements that he carried with him over the succeeding years. There's a preference for solid and dominant percussion and tempos, making all his work specifically geared for the dancing set. ...

CD $9.59  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
How a good-looking Jewish boy from Brooklyn discovered the secret of success in an updated form of mariachi music is perhaps beyond our scope. Then again, it might not be such a mystery after all. Aside from the obvious example of exotica, much easy listening depends upon more than a touch of ethnicity to maintain its musical roots. What Herb Alpert found in Mexican street bands was a previously untapped source of south-of-the-border melody and rhythm. With its unlikely combination of Alpert's cool Chet Baker-like trumpet and the blocky cadences of a marching band, the Tijuana Brass produced a lively, colorful mix that managed to appeal to hips and squares alike. WHIPPED CREAM & OTHER DELIGHTS was Herb Albert's most successful album, ...

With this album, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass settle into their hitmaking groove, the once strikingly eclectic elements of Dixieland, pop, rock, and mariachi becoming more smoothly integrated within Alpert's infectious "Ameriachi" blend. They sound more like a band now; along with Alpert's now-indelibly stamped trumpet sound, we can recognize jazzman John Pisano's distinctive rhythm guitar, Lou Pagani's piano, the droll Bob Edmondson's dulcet trombone, etc. Pisano, who debuted as a composer on Going Places, comes up with a memorably whistleable song "So What's New," and the rest of Alpert's songwriting brigade (Ervan Coleman, Julius Wechter ...
