Description
Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast encore edition, we talk to Eden Alpert, daughter of great trumpet player and record label owner, Herb Alpert. We talk about Herb’s youth growing up in LA, his Jewish roots, his songwriting career and ultimately his massive instrumental hits “A Taste of Honey” with the Tijuana Brass, his solo hit “Rise” as well as his vocal smash “This Guy’s In Love With You.” Put it this way, in the 1960s, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass were the only other artist to knock The Beatles off the #1 spot on the charts. His records were massive. We also talk about his record label, A&M Records which was a powerhouse in the music industry by signing artist like, The Carpenters, Sergio Mendes, Joe Cocker, Cat Stevens in the 70s, The GoGos, Squeeze, Oingo Boingo and Janet Jackson in the 90s and during the 90s, Soundgarden, Sheryl Crow, Sting and Monster Magnet. You know, just a few small artists that barely anyone knows. Ha! (guffaw). We also talk to Eden about running Vibrato, the jazz/supper club owned by Herb that she runs and books as well as the many music education charities Herb has founded which cement his legacy as true mench (MEN-CH) of the highest order. All “Rise” and take a listen to this encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast with Eden Alpert, right now
