Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
Christmas Album
out-of-print classic album, from instrumental pop genius and A&M co-founder, now available from High Coin
One of the most loved holiday albums of all time is the gold selling 'Christmas Album' by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass. 'Christmas Album' hit the number 1 spot on the Billboard albums chart three years in a row, 1968-1970, as well as topping Billboard's seasonal list of top Christmas albums and spawning the hit single 'My Favourite Things'.
The album comprises 10 uplifting festive season melodies for brass, string, wind, voices and percussion. The staccato stye of the Brass's arrangement adds a south-of-the-border flair to 'Winter Wonderland' and turns 'Jingle Bells' into a hyper-salsa. Other tracks include 'Las Maņanitas' and 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desirings' filling all who listen to it with a warm, sentimental glow.
'Christmas Album's combination of holiday standards and the TJB's special brand of Ameriachi cheer is as much fun today as it was 35 years ago.
