Herb Alpert reflects on fame, TikTok and turning 90 with the Tijuana Brass

Legendary trumpeter Herb Alpert celebrated his 90th birthday last month by taking the stage at Jazz at Lincoln Center with a new iteration of the Tijuana Brass, marking his return to the iconic group format for the first time in 40 years.

The milestone performance coincides with the 60th anniversary of his landmark album "Whipped Cream & Other Delights," which spent eight weeks at No. 1 after its 1965 release and helped define the sound of the era.

"It has been overwhelming. I didn't realize I'd get this much attention at 90," Alpert said.
