Herb Alpert - Over The Rainbow - Music & Performance - CD
Product information for Herb Alpert - Over The Rainbow - Music & Performance - CD
On his 2019 album Over The Rainbow Herb Alpert began the same way he has done for all of his albums over the years: searching for great melodies. That search has resulted in the prolific trumpeter s latest offering a collection of 11 classics and one brand new original track. That original song Skinny Dip opens the album with a quirky fun vibe before things move on to recognizable tunes from the great American songbook which are included for various reasons close to Herb s heart. He felt the danger in the tightrope walk of recording his own version of the iconic Over The Rainbow which was cemented within pop culture by Judy Garland s performance and many other fantastic recordings. And whether it s a tribute to Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt on All Love Bill Withers on Ain t No Sunshine or the great Louis Armstrong on What A Wonderful World there is always a deeper connection and meaning for Herb on every cover selected for this album making it one of the most personal projects he has ever worked on.
