“Ring Bell” – Herb Alpert & Hugh Masekela
[media=https://youtu.be/oRDQCSD3p4c]
This is a track from the 1978 studio album, Herb Alpert / Hugh Masekela. As its title suggests, the album is a collaborative work by the well-known American trumpeter, Herb Alpert, and South African musician and composer, Hugh Masekela.
Masekela probably is best-known in the U.S. for his 1968 hit, “Grazing in the Grass”. He passed away in 2018 and is remembered as "the father of South African jazz".
I’ve long held the opinion that Herb Alpert made his best music after the Tijuana Brass disbanded in 1969. The lovely tune, “Ring Bell”, is but one example of the wonderful music he has recorded post-TJB.
