Where is this guy?
An early #SundaySoother to warm up to this winter...I am putting together a playlist of some of my favorite trumpters at a slower than a snail's pace and Albert will most definitely be included...Background pic is with his wife, singer Lani Hall
This tune was given to Herb from Burt Bacharach
from wiki:
As documented in a Biography cable episode featuring Bacharach, the recording originated when Alpert asked Bacharach, "Say, Burt, do you happen to have any old compositions lying around that you and Hal never recorded; maybe one I might use?" Alpert said he made it his practice to ask songwriters that particular question; often a lost "pearl" was revealed. As it happened, Bacharach recalled one, found the lyrics and score sheet, and offered it to Alpert: "Here, Herb ... you might like this one."
Alpert saw the possibilities in it for himself. The composition had a recognizable Bacharach-David feel, a spot for a signature horn solo in the bridge and in the fadeout

One of my favorites since I was a wee lad. Beautifully used in the movie Seeking A Friend For the End of the World, which if you haven't seen, you should.
This guy's in love with this song
