Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass & Other Delights: 7 Highlights From the Hollywood Bowl Show
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass made a little history on Sunday (July 5), when they headlined the Hollywood Bowl. The ensemble first headlined the iconic venue for two nights in September 1967, giving them the record for the longest span of headlining appearances (nearly 59 years) in Bowl history.
“This is really a dream come true for me,” Alpert told the audience after performing the first three songs in the set. “I never thought I’d be doing this at 91. That was beyond my imagination.”
Alpert fronted a six-man ensemble, all wearing matching tan jackets. Alpert, who sat for most of the show, wore a blue suit. The well-paced and varied show was capped by multiple encores.
