About this item

EDITORIAL REVIEWS The exciting original compositions on Come Fly With Me were inspired by everything from a Tito Puente rhythm Alpert fell in love with (the propulsive "Night Ride") to jamming with his world class band in between shows on tour (the fun, reggae-infused "Cheeky" was born of these sessions) . On "Walkin Tall", another track with a punchy reggae beat, Alperts trumpet melody slinks and slides. Herbs take on one of Frank Sinatras most famous recordings, "Come Fly With Me," is set to a groovy bossa nova beat with the surprising addition of a steel drum. His sparse take on George Harrisons "Something" includes the use of an electronic instrument known as an EVI, to play the signature guitar lick from the original recording.
