Herb Alpert at Kodak Center in Rochester on May 12 is an evening with one of the most commercially successful and culturally significant musicians of the twentieth century. Alpert’s trumpet playing — warm, lyrical, instantly recognizable — defined the sound of the Tijuana Brass, sold over 72 million records, and co-founded A&M Records, the label that would sign artists from the Carpenters to the Police to Janet Jackson. His influence on American popular music extends far beyond his own recordings.
At 91, Alpert continues to perform with the joy and technical facility that have defined his career. Kodak Center in the Finger Lakes provides a venue whose mid-size scale suits the intimacy that Alpert’s current performances cultivate. This is a chance to see a living legend in a room where every note lands.
