Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

Herb Alpert makes his highly anticipated debut at Ruth Eckerd Hall with his brand-new Tijuana Brass. Herb along with his six great musicians will be playing all of your favorite TJB hit songs just as you remember hearing them while growing up.

2025 will mark the 60th anniversary of the iconic album, Whipped Cream & Other Delights. Herb and the band will be performing many of those great songs in addition to many other hit songs that we all know; The Lonely Bull, Spanish Flea, Taste of Honey, Mexican Shuffle, Tijuana Taxi, This Guy’s In Love With You, What Now My Love, Zorba the Greek, Ladyfingers, Rise and many other delights.

A legendary trumpet player, Herb Alpert’s extraordinary musicianship has earned him five #1 hits, nine GRAMMY® Awards, fifteen Gold albums, fourteen Platinum albums and he has sold over 72 million records worldwide. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass propelled his sound into the pop music limelight, at one point outselling The Beatles two to one. In 1966, they achieved the remarkable feat of simultaneously having four albums in the Billboard Top 10 and five in the Top 20.

Herb Alpert also has the distinction of being the only artist who has had a #1 instrumental (Rise) and a #1 vocal record (This Guy’s In Love With You). In 2016 the Herb Alpert Presents record label released 40 deluxe re-masters of the entire TJB catalogue plus all of Herb’s solo albums from the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s. In all, Alpert has recorded 50 albums and produced records for many other artists, including Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, Stan Getz, Michel Colombier, Gato Barbieri and Alpert’s wife, GRAMMY® winning vocalist Lani Hall, to name a few.
