Background notes
Archive material and source history
Herb Alpert formed The Tijuana Brass in 1962, a horn-heavy ensemble that blended Mexican folk rhythms with jazz and orchestral arrangements. Their debut album 'The Lonely Bull' came out that same year, and by 1965, the single 'Tijuana Taxi' had reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
The group's sound was built around Alpert's trumpet playing over energetic horn and percussion backdrops. They worked with composers like Burt Bacharach and Hal David, though some critics at the time dismissed their music as lightweight novelty. Alpert kept making the music he wanted to make anyway.
