Об альбоме (сборнике)

My Abstract Heart, the album, is strongly influenced by the late, great big band leader and arranger Shorty Rogers. Shorty was one of the pioneers of the easygoing west coast or cool jazz movement in the late 1950's, and was RCA's top selling jazz artist in that era. It's natural that Alpert would use him on many of his albums. Shorty's arrangements have appeared on Tijuana Brass albums like The Brass Are Comin' and Christmas Album. This album marked a full-fledged collaboration, with Shorty's flugelhorn and arranging skills gracing the big band tunes on this album. And astute jazz fans will note that Herb and Shorty also shared one thing in common: pianist Pete Jolly. Not only was Jolly a fixture in the classic late 50's Giants, his electric piano introduction graced the beginning of Herb's This Guy's In Love With You, and also had his own AM recording contract in the late 60's. (Unfortunately he does not appear on this album.) And finally, we should not overlook Eddie (Eduardo) Del Barrio, a noted keyboard player, who has also collaborated with many other artists, including Earth Wind Fire, during their I Am album's production.
The album opener, 3 O'Clock Jump, was inspired by Alpert's admiration of Shorty Rogers' Giants; it features a hip-hop rhythms full of percussion with a brassy back-up from the horn section. My Abstract Heart, the propulsive title track, features some amazing rhythm guitar strumming by Abe Laboriel. A quiet mood is evoked by Shorty's Wish You Were Here, and Herb and Lani Hall are featured on the seductive When The Lights Go Down Low. Another great project by Herb Alpert!
