 Herb Alpert's persistent artistic vision reverberates as one
note comprised of three simultaneous chords: curiosity, integrity and
excellence. Creator and innovator, musician and producer, artist and
entrepreneur, Herb Alpert is one of this generation's true Renaissance Men, a
man with a profound passion empowering his every endeavor.
An extraordinary musician, Herb Alpert's trumpet playing
earned him five #1 hits, eight Grammy Awards, fifteen Gold albums and fourteen
Platinum albums. Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass propelled Latino music into
the pop music limelight, at one point outselling the Beatles two to one. Through
commitment to artists with personal vision, Alpert (along with partner Jerry
Moss) guided A&M Records from a humble Hollywood garage operation into the
largest independently owned record company in the world. Great performers such
as Carole King, Cat Stevens, Styx, Supertramp, The Carpenters, Sting and Janet
Jackson are evidence of the consistent quality and diversity of the A&M Records
family. One bold, brilliant sound with many different simultaneous chords.
Refusing to limit himself, Herb Alpert has utilized his
genius to explore other artistic ventures. During the last two decades, Alpert
has emerged as a talented abstract expressionist painter with international
exhibitions. His canvasses are characterized by flowing shapes, bold
brushstrokes and exploding colors. Alpert has also chosen to involve himself in
the world of Broadway theatre. His producing credits include the Tony
Award/Pulitzer Prize winning production of Tony Kushner's "Angels in America."
He also co-produced "Jelly's Last Jam," Arthur Miller's "Broken Glass," and
August Wilson's "Seven Guitars."
Alpert's most serious contribution may yet be his greatest.
The Herb Alpert Foundation assists educational, arts, and environmental programs
dedicated to the training of young people, helping them discover their own
potential and vibrant energy.
In all of these ventures, there is a harmony not unlike
Alpert's music, a flowing of energy and sound, a dedication to quality which
sustains everything Alpert does and separates him into a class by himself, a
class of leaders to be emulated and remembered.
