About this playlist
Trumpeter Herb Alpert achieved massive success by blurring stylistic lines and those between art and commerce—there's nothing guilty about pleasure if it sounds good. That edict has been embraced in the knowing camp of cocktail-lounge revivalists Combustible Edison as well as the silken sophistication of Dionne Warwick. And Chris Botti embodies Alpert's love of Italianate romanticism while The Latin Giants of Jazz typify his frothier modes.
