nacog is an unknown quantity at this point
hello everone. I have been looking at this site for several weeks now but when I saw some discussion on the TJB I knew I had to register. Listening to Herb Alpert and the TJB revived my interest in playing the trumpet when I was a kid and it still makes me very happy when I listen to it. I have all the albums on vinyl and all the ones issued on CD and the ones I enjoy that don't get talked about as much are SRO (especially mexican road race) and the summertime album. I too have heard the talk about the reissuing the old TJB on CD's and I hope that it does happen soon. Just this last month I went on a thriftshop crusade for TJB vinyl and got 7 of them for 10 or 11 bucks, a couple of them look absolutely mint. I think the first 10 are fairly easy to find but warm, the brass are coming, summertime, and the christmas album can be tough to locate( incidently the "crusade" was for my brother who is rekindling his interest in his trumpet and I thought a little Herb Alpert would help)
