Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

A concert by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, bringing together the lounge and crossover jazz musician and the American band he leads.

Herb Alpert is an American musician whose work spans lounge, jazz and crossover jazz. Born in Los Angeles in 1935, he has been active since 1957 and is linked to A&M Records. He leads The Tijuana Brass, an American band formed in Los Angeles in 1962, whose debut on record was the 1963 album Volume 2.

This concert brings the two together under one billing, so the evening draws on the lounge and crossover jazz traditions of Alpert's work and on the band's instrumental catalogue. The performance takes place at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, a concert and performance venue at 2 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow.

The programme suits listeners interested in American instrumental jazz and lounge music, and in the work of a band that has been part of Alpert's career since its formation in 1962.
