ABOUT THE BAND
In 1964, Basil Rodriguez began playing the trumpet in elementary school. At the same time, 28-year-old Herb Alpert was a rising star with the hit single The Lonely Bull by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. By 1966, Basil was playing along with the Tijuana Brass records that his parents were listening to. He went on to have a successful career as a professional trumpet player and arranger, playing in show clubs throughout the country in the 1970s and backing up numerous recording artists.
Now, Basil has come full circle to his first influence: the music of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass. Basil has meticulously recreated the arrangements that were recorded by the band back in the 60s and added other memorable hits from artists of the A&M label.
Just as Herb did in the 60s, Basil has put together a band of eight seasoned musicians to form The Ultimate Tijuana Brass Tribute.
