Catch the Wind / Herb Alpert

1CD# JAH-404

A singer with an exciting presence and a voice to immerse yourself in. A band leader who, when needed, take the lead as a soloist, but tended to hold back amidst his all-star band. The result a mixture that whisked the concert hall in Freiburg (Germany) for one evening in October 1959 into a wonderful world of successful jazz entertainment and sent the audience out into the night with an earworm.
