Famous quotes by Herb Alpert:

"I'm sure I'll go back again and record in the digital process."

"I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz."

"We always felt that if you do something with quality and integrity, then it's going to come back to you."

"When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let other people know about it."

"You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage."

"I practice every day. I've been doing it since I was eight."

"The Japanese seem to be a loyal audience."

"I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure."

"There's something interesting about playing live; you're in the moment, and I think it would be beneficial."

"I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit."

"He has a method that likens the musician to an athlete, so I do physical exercises designed to keep a musician in shape in order to perform the function, which is to play music."

"I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play."

"I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million."

"I don't think radio is selling records like they used to. They'd hawk the song and hawk the artist and you'd get so excited, you'd stop your car and go into the nearest record store."

"Instrumental music can spread the international language."

"It's - as opposed to tape where you have a magnetic tape that's excited by frequencies that you hit, digital was a process where musical sounds are transferred to numbers and stored as numbers."

"It's very clean. With tape, you get noise."

"If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record."

"The reaction to this album has just been fabulous around the world... and I've had offers to perform from around the world and I'm tempted to do it. I've got itchy lips."

"We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show."
