{"product_id":"brass-are-comin","title":"Brass Are Comin'","description":"Audio Remasterer: Bernie Grundman.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: 1969.\u003cbr\u003eThe Western motif on the double-fold album jacket -- with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass in costume -- signals this as another companion album to a TV special. But there is a deeper significance to this LP, for shortly after its release, a burned-out, personally troubled Alpert disbanded the Brass and retired from music for awhile. Indeed, stretches of this record reveal a tired group and a leader whose trumpet has lost much of its old zip. Even so, as on all TJB albums, there are several gems -- the stunning shifts in texture and tempo that enliven the worn-out \"Moon River,\" the chugging bluegrass-tinged arrangement of Villa-Lobos' \"The Little Train of the Caipira\" that masquerades under the name of the title track, a haunting rendition of the Beatles' \"I'll Be Back,\" the fast samba treatment of \"Anna.\" Dave Grusin and Shorty Rogers contribute an occasional orchestration, and Alpert does a modest vocal turn on the lush \"You Are My Life.\" But this time, the old sales magic was gone; the Tijuana Brass had suddenly become unhip in polarized 1969. ~ Richard S.
