Herb Alpert
Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do.
Herb Alpert
I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.
Herb Alpert

Herb Alpert

Herb Alpert
