Yes, this would be one of the earliest known appearances by the classic touring TJB that would last through '69. Looks like the 2nd trumpeter, the late Tonni Kalash, had yet to join the band..the other trumpeter here is Art Mushagian (sp?). Bob Edmondson, trombone; John Pisano, guitar (and songwriter/co-arranger); Lou Pagani, piano; Pat Senatore, bass; Nick Ceroli, drums (kickass!). The "Whipped Cream" album was huge at this time, with "!!Going Places!!" and "Tijuana Taxi" in the making.
This is...off the hook🪝 😁! Exceptionally rare live appearance; most TJB clips of the era are lip-synched (literally, lol). Two comments. First, El Presidente is a fascinating blend of jazz, mariachi, and Ventures-like surf rock back beat. A Taste of Honey is just...perfection. Can't imagine a better live version. Second, I was born in 1962, and Alpert and the TJB is the first music of which I have cognizant memory. It's just so happy and upbeat, and 60 years later it never fails to lift my spirits. Beyond thrilled to be going to see him for the first time in July at The Birchmere in Alexandria Va!
Oh Yeah. Awesome upload. As with many others, I grew up listening to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass and studied trumpet and guitar just to play along. Thanks for the upload. To this day I keep a collection of all their music and Herb Alpert's collaborations with Hugh Masekela as well as his current works. He and Lani Hall are still making great music. I got to see Herb Alpert live when he was touring the BULLISH album. Thanks much Mr. Rogers for this rare find.
@@scottrogers6445 Herb Alpert signed The Carpenters on a risk they'd do well with a song that had been recorded before, and without much commercial success from it. He had those two youngsters record "Close To You" and he released it. A&M took off like a rocket fueled by that hit single. And, so did The Carpenters. It was the hook Richard added that did it...those two triplets in a row that kept recurring while Karen rests. Three notes played within a two-note beat, and then done twice. The first triplet brings you up, and the second triplet brings you back down. And, with Karen's contralto>mezzo soprano vocal range, it's like a joy ride on an ocean wave, and it still entrances the listener to this day. Add to that the little piano solo intro, and then Karen starts to sing. Richard Carpenter is a genius, an underappreciated genius. So was his sister with her idea of overdubbing her own voice, and essentially becoming her own background singers. Two bright kids who created their own genre of music, and it all started with Herb Alpert and his taking a big risk that paid off beyond belief.
Live performance... a rarity...Herb missed a couple notes. This must be one of the earliest T.V. spots the Brass did...is definately not Tony Kalish on trumpet.

Very nice
The tightest band of the 1960s!! Is that the usual 2nd trumpeter with a different hairdoo??
Yes!!! Well put Mark!!
The best group of musicians on the planet!
Herb, with his short 60's haircut was HOT.
I love second verse
what so cool is that none of them were from south of the border...Italians and Jewish....pretty amazing...
Live performance... a rarity...Herb missed a couple notes. This must be one of the earliest T.V. spots the Brass did...is definately not Tony Kalish on trumpet.
I noticed that too (that it wasn't the regular second trumpet).
Beautiful music ... Too bad Herpert was in a hurry ... I think he was in the mood to pee ...
he was doing the "I gotta go pee" dance when the started the first song.....
