Herb Alpert is now one of the most gracious donors to music education. He just gave a very very very large sum of money to UCLA. I think it was at least 20 million. It is now called the Herb Alpert School of music. As well as this, he has given money to CalArts and many other schools in the Los Angeles Area. He was the A in A and M records. I had the chance to meet him last year at the Grammys when he received his lifetime achievement award. He is a really nice guy and he said he will continue practicing, and will put on shows at his restaurant every now and then.
