Music reviews of Herb Alpert's Ninth (Spkg)
Music Review: Herb Alpert's Ni...Night!
Rating: 3 Stars
Originally released in late `67, Herb Alpert's Ninth (stereo only) is the most laid back or perhaps, sluggish album from Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. I wasn't too disappointed upon hearing it again, slightly troubled by what sounded like a lack of motivation, and a muffled trumpet that bore little similarity to the glorious tone exhibited on the "South Of The Border," "Whipped Cream" or "Going Places" discs. Some of "The Ninth" is good, with A Banda, My Heart Belongs To Daddy, Bud, Flea Bag and of course the "musical tour-de-force," Carmen to give the album some merit. But there are some weeds in the garden too.
Here is my score sheet:
01. A Banda - 8/10 The arrangement and execution is flawless.
02. My Heart Belongs To Daddy - 9/10 I always thought this "Ninth" classic should have been the opening track.
03. The Trolley Song - 7/10 Back in the sixties I didn't care for the choice in tempo used on this one, but now I feel it was a good decision.
04. The Happening - 5/10 A "feelin' groovy" cover of the Supremes hit song.
05. Bud - 8/10 A beautiful tribute to Ervan Coleman. When Pisano escorts the song to its exit on solo guitar, it almost tears me up.
06. Love So Fine - 8/10 I noticed that this one is more in tune on the compact disc. It was always a little bit flat on the 33 1/3 version. The violins give it that "top down wind in your hair" kind of feeling.
07. The Love Nest - 7/10 I like the samba rhythm and the horn solo.
08. With A Little Help From My Friends - 3/10 It's pretty much one of the more straight and conventional covers Alpert did. I think it suffers a bit for that.
09. Flea Bag - 8/10 A pleasant song, with a sort of a Classical Glissando at the beginning.
10. Cowboys And Indians - 3/10 This one has that clip-clop percussion in it that is so reminiscent of Marching Thru Madrid from the yet to be released Volume 2.
11. Carmen - 10/10 The run-through of the "Carmen" melody in differing TJB styles is a true tour-de-force. I love the sense of humor. A nice rendering and very inventive.
If there ever was a "punchin' the clock" type album this is it. Like I said, the Ninth sounds a bit tired at times and lacks that electricity of those great TJB albums of 1964/65. But, on the other hand you don't want to keep repeating the same old formula either.
The compact disc sounds a lot better than my old vinyl copy. I hear a few more subtle sounds, some crisp highs. I also notice a bit of a tape gurgle at the end of The Trolley Song, but that's a small glitch.
So, Herb Alpert's Ninth gets 3 big stars for the music and 3 stars for some good packaging, So if I'm correct, that equals 3 stars!
