According to a press statement, “The prolific musician’s new set of 11 songs features six original compositions and was recorded with longtime collaborators Lani Hall, Jeff Lorber, Bill Cantos ,and more.
“In addition to ‘Here She Comes,’ the album contains gentle ballads like ‘Childhood’ and ‘Time After Time, covers of classic songs like “I’ll Remember You” (of Kui Lee/Don Ho/Andy Williams/Elvis Presley fame), and his version of Louis Armstrong’s ‘On the Sunny Side Of The Street.'”
“I don’t try to make music for other people,” Alpert notes of his recently released cover of Miriam Makeba’s “Pata Pata.” “If I can record something that makes me feel good and in the moment, then that’s a sign I’m doing something right. This recording gives me that feeling.”
Last year, Alpert released Catch The Wind, a collection of music recorded by Alpert and his longtime partner and wife. Alpert and Hall have also been on an expansive 2022 tour throughout the US, Canada, and the U.K.
