Herb Alpert Releasing New Christmas Album
Fans of trumpeter Herb Alpert have waited 50 long years – okay, well, 49 long years – for the follow up to his 1968 LP, Christmas Album.
On September 29th, Alpert releases the long-rumored holiday album titled The Christmas Wish. And it not Herb alone either – he’s got a host of friends in a 45-piece orchestra, a 10-piece rhythm section and a 32-member choir.
That sounds suspiciously like the ingredients of his first Christmas album which dropped on the 16th of December 1968 – and rocketed to the top of Billboard’s Christmas chart.
Here is what we get this time around:
The Christmas Wish – Herb Alpert (With Symphony And Choir)

02 – Let It Snow / Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer ” Medley
03 – Santa Baby
