I saw Herb and Lani about 10 years ago, and he was playing great. But I never thought he would do a Tijuana Brass tour again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhatta Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 I think it was seven years ago that I happened to be in San Jose in the summer and went to see the San Jose Jazz Fest. When I heard the song “Bitter Sweet Samba” (which almost every Japanese know without the song title because it is the theme song of a famous radio program in Japan), I thought it might be a copy band of Tijuana Brass, but it was Herb Alpert himself. Is he already 90 years old or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 What size venues are they playing otherwise? What sort of crowd does the 2024 Tijuana Brass pull in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of crowd does the 2024 Tijuana Brass pull in? Presumably, a combination of older, original fans and younger hipsters. I'll let you know. I suspect the crowd in Sarasota will skew toward the blue-haired demographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Nelson Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 It was Hurricane Milton that really hit Sarasota with 10-12 inches of rain. The Van Wezel is/was the venue for the annual Joys of Jazz concerts featuring Dick Hyman's pals and Concord label artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted October 25 Author Report Share Posted October 25 This is the most I've ever spent to see an artist whose albums I never paid more than a dollar for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 My parents had his albums when I was a kid and I played them a lot but it’s not something that appeals to me anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 26 Report Share Posted October 26 My overriding TJB memory is that some AC company used one of their songs for their between innings scoreboard ads in the Astrodome. In the late 60s, the music was not hi-fi, but what there was of it was cavernous. Couple that with how the TJB was already out of fashion, and the overall effect was just creepy and ghoulish. So I don't get it. But apparently a lot of people do, so I hope they have a good time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own interest stems from my commitment to supporting live jazz, especially when played by an 89-year-old who undoubtedly could use the gig money to supplement his social security income.
