A Happy Birthday greeting to Herb Alpert. Herb's own music, along with the record company he founded with partner Jerry Moss known as A&M Records (Alpert & Moss) as well as the song publishing powerhouses the two created created, had changed the face of the music industry long before they were eventually sold to growing conglomerates during the consolidation era in the music industry. In 1994, Alpert & Moss started Almo Sounds, a boutique record label which continues until this day. Herb has also gone on to expose his wonderful gift as a abstract painter and visual artist. And, as many know, he is a a great humanitarian and philanthropist via the Herb Alpert Foundation. One of the coolest things he has going is a phenomenal restaurant/jazz club called the Vibrato Grill, a superior top notch West Coast jazz music venue. And... he is so much more to many fans and friends.
