At 80 years old, Herb Alpert still sounds as fresh as in his days with the Tijuana Brass. This album, his first in years, has him in a Brazilian jazz mood along with his currently touring team of Michael Shapiro/dr, Hussain Jiffry/b and Bill Cantos/key along with gurests that include Jeff Lorber/g-keyand Eduardo Del Barrio/key. His horn sounds crisp and clear, almost like mid 50s Miles Davis, but with a modern samba groove on creative takes of “Come Fly With Me” and a breezy Caribbean “Got A Lot of Livin’ To Do.” He leans into a TJB mood during a peppy read of “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” while sounding lovely and misty on “Something.” Canto’s piano teams with some vocals on a lullaby sounding “Love Affair” and Jiffrey does some sleek and sliding bass work on a wonderful re-work of “Take the “A” Train.” The ONLY complaint is that Lani Hall is not singing somewhere here; this one shows that class lasts through all generations.
