I was fortunate enough to grow up with a father who learned to play the trumpet at an early age and mastered it through his life. He was in many big bands and played a lot of jazz throughout my preteen years the late 70s. There was nothing like waking up on a Saturday morning and hearing him walk down the hallway playing this song to absolute perfection. Herb Alpert was one of his favorites, along with Maynard Ferguson and Chuck Mangione. At any given time he would switch up between the three artists and play the songs as though he wrote them himself. I grew up thinking everyone's dad was that talented. I'd give anything to go back in time 40 years for just one hour to hear him play....I miss you Dad.
One of the BEST road trip Songs EVER MADE!!!!! I listened to this song as a Teen in the 70's and just recently had it on while driving Back to San Antonio from Sacramento Ca. Got Caught up the Song.........Some flashing Lights Got Me in New Mexico :-) I got let go with a Warning, The song has a Special Place in My Life and Memories! :-)
Thank you Daddy for introducing this song to us back in 1982 when we were kids! Always loved it. Missed you so I had to find it and sure brings back great memories. I love you so much!! Anne
I remember when this song came out in 1979 . That was the year we moved to California from New York, I think of my late uncle 😢 oh he was such a good man . He was the one who helped us to move to California, he looked out for us . R.I.P. uncle James .
Played this album constantly as a 14 year old, and felt enchanted. This song always brings me right back to the late 70's. The styles, the shoes, the clothes, the cars, the clubs...GOD I loved it!!!!
I got my allowance and rushed to the record store to buy this on 45 RMP for about $2.00 Back Then. I would wake up and fall to sleep to this song. Memories can be pleasant at times. Thank you Lord.
I listen to this every now and then when driving back home from work. Everything makes sense after listening to this. Much love and respect to Herb Alpert.
I must have listened to this song at least 100 times and here I am a year later still listening ....10 Nov 2022.... who else is still loving Herb Alpert and his gorgeous irresistible not to swing and sway to music😘
This music, looking into the Bay...Good Morning! Now let´s get to the job! Thank you for all your work Mr. Alpert. In studio and out studio! Thank you four your generosity Mr. Alpert.
In the San Francisco Bay Area there used to be a local hip hop street scene tv show with a female host in the 80’s. This song was used each week on that show. I never knew the the artist until about 2 years ago and came across it on TH-cam. My first listen a few years ago of this song, took me immediately back to those times of youth. Back then, you never know the songs they used on tv or in movies, unless you read the credits at the end. Lol! Such and deep and moving masterpiece!
Every time I play this song & yeah the trumpet playing by Herb sure tugs at my emotions & by the end of the song I have tears in my eyes! A true masterpiece for sure! 😢😢Especially the extended version that I been looking for & downloading it!🙂🙂
Just another fabulous piece of music by Alpert ! Proving that like some superb wines, they just get even better with time ! The best trumpet player that ever lived !
My dad has an impressive collection of Herb Alpert records dating back to the 1960's, a decade before my time. I grew up listening to them all and I have been a fan since. When my dad had his dinner, or his lunch on a weekend, he would slide into the living room, switch on the record player and stereo, slip on a Herb Alpert and chill on cushions from the sofa on the floor. This was his "do not disturb" sign, but he always let me sit in and enjoy that sweet brass music.
This never leaves my boxes when I dj. I love the reaction it gets and folk who come up and ask me who this is!! Such an atmospheric record and one of many from that period, Rise and Beyond are fantastic too!
Hey Man, lol but so nice to hear you DJ and you got this!... I'd love to open up a bar/club and play these kinda tunes, funky, classy and just so different to the main-stream crap nowadays, and it'd be a success I know I would be!... Where do you DJ in the UK? What kind of response do you get? and do you always play this kinda stuff? I'd be most interested to hear from you my friend :o) Thanks
Andy Tee, thanks man! I don't dj so much anymore and I do miss it! I'm in Folkestone Kent now and try to gig as much as possible but it's difficult here as there aren't as many venues as London where I started over 25 years ago! I only play vinyl as its all I've bought in the last 35 plus years! I love playing my disco, soul and funk but all this is slightly left of the norm! Thanks again mate! I'd love you to hear me spin!
The best memory I have linked to this song is waking up at 6 am, just at sunset, after having slept under a bench at a rest stop, getting on my motorcycle, and riding through the New Mexico desert as the sun rose. I was 20 at the time, and didn't have a care in the world. God I miss having adventures!
Sounds like the time i drove up to Daytona Beach in my underpants minus my contact lenses with no car insurance in 1986 listing to Tears for Fears everyone wants to rule the world. 2022 now looking for travel insurance to cover me for taking statins......bugger
The slightly disambiguated trumpet with echo imparts such a laid back overlay to the rhythm section its very hypnotic....and good to listen to. Love it.
Herb Alpert Solidifies the Jazzy,Funky,Rhythmic Sound of the Late '70s,"BIG '80s Era. While "RISE"may gotten more Notoriety, "ROTATION" has Al- ways been MY Personal Favor- ite,and what a "Most Pleasant Surprise"to find a "REMIX"!!! I'd never heard the 2nd version Which is "EVEN FUNKIER"than the Original.!!! So Glad That l logged on this Evening..!!!😍
Some pieces of music are just transcendent. And if they get to you, they're with you for life. Taking you to that joyful place between reality and fantasy, but always comforting.
Rotation!!!! Pure genius!! I expect no less from Mr herb Albert!! Thanks Mr Albert for all your music!! I love you!!💯👍🙏😁💪❤️and Happy birthday 🎉🎂🎈 Sir!! And many many more!!!❤️💪💪💪💪😁🙏👍💯
Descobri essa música pelo final de um episódio da série Sex and the City. Fiquei encantado quando veio o som do trompete (acho que é esse o instrumento). Simplesmente me trás saudade do que eu nunca vivi. Simplesmente incrível.
My song, besides those, is "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire. Ah, the memories...zooming down the highway, top down, wind blowing through my long hair...sweet.
Have loved Herb Albert and his brass since the 60's. I am now, exploring his funk career. I can remember being age six hearing the album, seeing the cover thinking what style! This is my own pre-orchestra days. Herb and Lani's allegiance to the arts, open for the rest of us to partake, will carry into the future changing the lives of many young people. On his sculptures, it takes a certain appreciation for the mind's eye.
My first taste of this delicacy was in 1979 on 8 track tape. Mellow, yet upbeat enough. If you don't move when this song is on, you're probably dead. Amazing as usual. Love ya Herb.
I first heard of Herb when my dad bought back his LPs from working abroad in the 60s ... loved herb ever since, he just gets better. Him and Lani are so in love too .. love that! Don’t you ever leave us Mr Trumpet xx
Ouchh!!!.What a adorable,delicious & unforgetable tune!!!.Year 1.980 I was invited to a place in the top High mountains of the Andes in Colombia.Specificly,to the Nevado del Tolima,a very intersting volcano,of almost 5.500 mts tall.Usually,the sky that surrounds the Nevado is almost always,tighttly cloudly.But that day,as a gift from heaven,the sky was absolutly blue.No clouds at all.So I will never forget, that awesome and unmatchable present from God,when we arrived there,contemplating the majestic view of the Nevado del Tolima,with its white top,absolutly covered by glacials,the sky,inmensely blue,while this fabulous music of "Rottation, by Herp Albert",playing and comming out from the speakers of the car that took us there.What a mix of perfect timing,between contemplating the perfect beauty that God mastermind and guide, wihile is scorted by the perfect music to listen.Greetings from Colombia,& Peace & Love,to all beautiful people,from the entire universe!!!. :-) !!!!.
I was a bartender and cocktail waitress at a disco called Tatoos (yup there was a little person called Tatoo at the entrance with a guy in a white Sat. Night Fever suit). At the end of the night our DJ Frankie Blue would play this sexy song for me as I danced around the dance floor in my spandex.. ahh the 70's
Linda melodía con un toque de misterio al principio. Uno al escuchar el principio se pone a pensar ¿Qué será lo que viene después? El ritmo es bello y cada instrumento tocado en el momento preciso.
I have just listened to that song on the radio, was wondering when it was from. Fantastic piece of music! Gotta go and delve into that artist oeuvre! Love from Belgium.

je ne peux 'empecher de m'incliner devant la richesse de ce titre. il y a des trompettes qui lntrente le chemin de l'indeniable source infini de bonheur que Dieu partage avec l'Homme.Herb aplpert a cet honneur après "on the spnish moon" de croitre dans le sens des témoins de la magnificence de Dieu dans son alliance de joie avec le Fils.quand les mots , les langues sont assourdissantes , l'accomplissement s' exprime par des dons qui consolent les peuples dans le feu.
Yo tenia 10 años cuando salio este álbum, ese fue el año en que perdí a mi padre. Esta canción me trae una mezcla de sentimientos ambivalentes, aun así hay que decir que es UNA MAGNIFICA MELODÍA.
I have the album Rise which has Rotation on it & I've also got the 12" Clear Vinyl of Rotation.... It still sounds awesome even today. Thanks for sharing ;-)
@@kcsnow9447 LOL I know what you mean there... I lost count of the times I played it over the years. I had the album Rise on Cassette Tape too which snapped in the car tape deck.... Now I'm showing my age LMAO ;-)
I was a young Marine in the Phillipines in 1980 and I remember a taxi driver in the city took me and my friend all over the city of Manila while we drank in his cab and h had this awesome song on his stereo playing. The memory sticks clear in my head even after 41 years.
love you! created dances to all your fantastic music in high school! nobody wanted to be on my team got the rhythm to your beautiful albums! thankyou so much for helping me find myself! and my best creativity!
Reminds me of watching the sun go down over the huge expanse of wild African bush land that was my outlook from the porch of my house in the Eastern Cape

Brilliant piece of classic electronic jazz funk. The track Rise may have got all the attention, and not unfairly. But I think Rotation was the better track, and deserved much better than the mid-40s placing it got in the UK chart. Bought it on snazzy clear 12" vinyl on the day of release, in an extended version from the LP. Does anybody else hear the influences I detected from the start? It always sounded to my ears that it had taken several sonic and rhythmic cues from Terry Riley's A Rainbow In Curved Air, and Music For Eighteen Musicians by Steve Reich, while much of the cool, understated, cleanlined funky side owed a lot to the Brazilian band Azymuth. I thought I had the definitive version of Rotation on my 12", which runs about 6½ minutes. But now I hear this, I'm astonished to find an even longer version. However, a quick check on Amazon reveals what you seem to have done here: on the CD issue of the Rise album, there are 2 versions of the track, and you've run them together - the timing would seem to bear this out. Correct? If so... neat idea!!
I wouldn't concider this jazz really. More of a blues groove. It maintains a constant 4/4 time signature where jazz is usually all over the place. 2/4 to 6/8 to Neptune over to Mars, and skip back to earth, and back to 6/8. Mind exhausting. This is just kick-back and groove tunes.
2021: I learned this style of music from my UnMaa yrs&yrs ago. 20 plus yrs after she's been gone, i still play her music...to let her know..i was listening to it...& her.
Hey Queen, someone once said "To live in the past is to live in regret." I can see you do NOT live in the past, but you respect it, like your UnMaa (as well as love her.... still) Keep up the memories, but live in the NOW! :-)
Just found this again on one of my old MasterCuts Jazz Funk compilations. A truly classic piece of Jazz Funk. Agree with many on here that this is better than Rise! Love the way the keyboard and bass work together to float around the jazz tip .....

Don’t forget the sex pistols 😅. You’re right, it was the best time ever in my lifetime too 👍🏼🙏
Played this note for note at 17 years old, to me this is his best song!!! And the year was 1979 to 1981
I'm jealous
I got my allowance and rushed to the record store to buy this on 45 RMP for about $2.00 Back Then. I would wake up and fall to sleep to this song. Memories can be pleasant at times. Thank you Lord.

Rise and Rotation !!!! Two classics that still kick the asses of most of the crap considered music these days....
Right Rise n Rotation.❤❤
Even The Lonely Bull is better than the garbage that passes for music these days.

OMG this is the precursor to Ibiza sun downers ... I have this track on a 12 inch vinyl which I bought 1979 .... sublime

5 decades. Lol
I had this album back in 1979, fantastic.
Ah,,i still have the cassette !
je ne peux 'empecher de m'incliner devant la richesse de ce titre. il y a des trompettes qui lntrente le chemin de l'indeniable source infini de bonheur que Dieu partage avec l'Homme.Herb aplpert a cet honneur après "on the spnish moon" de croitre dans le sens des témoins de la magnificence de Dieu dans son alliance de joie avec le Fils.quand les mots , les langues sont assourdissantes , l'accomplissement s' exprime par des dons qui consolent les peuples dans le feu.
Yo tenia 10 años cuando salio este álbum, ese fue el año en que perdí a mi padre. Esta canción me trae una mezcla de sentimientos ambivalentes, aun así hay que decir que es UNA MAGNIFICA MELODÍA.
God Bless you.
👏👏🤝

Saludos de la colonia san José insurgentes Sur México,D.F. Gracias por compartir buena Música no payasadas de ahora Besos Besos y Besos**
I have the album Rise which has Rotation on it & I've also got the 12" Clear Vinyl of Rotation.... It still sounds awesome even today. Thanks for sharing ;-)
Mine doesn't...because I played the grooves right off it. :D
@@kcsnow9447 LOL I know what you mean there... I lost count of the times I played it over the years. I had the album Rise on Cassette Tape too which snapped in the car tape deck.... Now I'm showing my age LMAO ;-)
I was a young Marine in the Phillipines in 1980 and I remember a taxi driver in the city took me and my friend all over the city of Manila while we drank in his cab and h had this awesome song on his stereo playing. The memory sticks clear in my head even after 41 years.
I loved Herb Alpert's music when my friends thought it was corny...they all listen to it today though...gentle relaxation personified...
love you! created dances to all your fantastic music in high school! nobody wanted to be on my team got the rhythm to your beautiful albums! thankyou so much for helping me find myself! and my best creativity!
The music makes me think of the California coast on a warm summer evening around sunset.
Reminds me of watching the sun go down over the huge expanse of wild African bush land that was my outlook from the porch of my house in the Eastern Cape

In 1980 I bought the 7'' single "rise"...the song is quite ok - but "rotation" (B side) ist one of my all time favorite songs to this day
Absolute Masterpiece.
Back in the day I played this over and over and over, and I love it now as much as I did then Rotation.
Who is there in 2020 ?
ciao from Italy !
Stay well Robeto, ciao!
@@brucek.evans-historian7028 Ciao Bruce where are u from ?
@Luke Schneider Ciao slowly solving the crisis, hope to leave our homes in 2 weeks !
@@robertomarani710 Maine in the U.S., on the coast.
@@brucek.evans-historian7028 This song is simply perfect to match the panorama there !
This song is being played at a graduation and I had to know what it was. So beautiful!
Brilliant piece of classic electronic jazz funk. The track Rise may have got all the attention, and not unfairly. But I think Rotation was the better track, and deserved much better than the mid-40s placing it got in the UK chart. Bought it on snazzy clear 12" vinyl on the day of release, in an extended version from the LP.
Does anybody else hear the influences I detected from the start? It always sounded to my ears that it had taken several sonic and rhythmic cues from Terry Riley's A Rainbow In Curved Air, and Music For Eighteen Musicians by Steve Reich, while much of the cool, understated, cleanlined funky side owed a lot to the Brazilian band Azymuth.
I thought I had the definitive version of Rotation on my 12", which runs about 6½ minutes. But now I hear this, I'm astonished to find an even longer version. However, a quick check on Amazon reveals what you seem to have done here: on the CD issue of the Rise album, there are 2 versions of the track, and you've run them together - the timing would seem to bear this out. Correct? If so... neat idea!!
terry platt love azymuth too!!
Correct :)
Oh my gosh! I've always loved this song but I've never heard this extended version till now, and I'm in love with it even more
Es maravilloso escuchar a un gran músico como Herb Alpert un grande entre los grandes
I'm Glad i Found this Hidden Gems Love it my soul moving the vibes 🥰🎧🎺
I used to fuckin hate jazz but I guess the club I lived above only played the shit kind, cos this is amazingly good.
Kanonamos
This actually sounds a lot more like Fila Brazilia / The Cutler
Where do you think all these EDM kids get their ideas? #HerbAndChuckMangioneDidItFirst
I know, I know... there IS a lot of depressing jazz out there, for specifically that reason. Fast, fun Jazz= fun Disco music!
I wouldn't concider this jazz really. More of a blues groove. It maintains a constant 4/4 time signature where jazz is usually all over the place. 2/4 to 6/8 to Neptune over to Mars, and skip back to earth, and back to 6/8. Mind exhausting. This is just kick-back and groove tunes.
Deservedly the A in A&M Records, especially when you remember that at one stage he couldn't play a note due to an injury ! Gracias, Senor
2021: I learned this style of music from my UnMaa yrs&yrs ago. 20 plus yrs after she's been gone, i still play her music...to let her know..i was listening to it...& her.
Hey Queen, someone once said "To live in the past is to live in regret." I can see you do NOT live in the past, but you respect it, like your UnMaa (as well as love her.... still) Keep up the memories, but live in the NOW! :-)

Definitely my favorite by Herb Alpert. As a teen this was the Herb Alpert song I listened to the majority of the time.
Remember mom and dad listening to herb alpert on their cheesy sears stereo great music
This song kept playing in my head, today, and now I'm listening to it being played. In '79, we were stationed at Travis AFB, California.
Dav Currie. My condolences to your loss. May your son rest peacefully.
TIMELESS!!!.♪♪♥♥♥♪♪
Just found this again on one of my old MasterCuts Jazz Funk compilations. A truly classic piece of Jazz Funk. Agree with many on here that this is better than Rise! Love the way the keyboard and bass work together to float around the jazz tip .....
This track, Rise, and Skokiaan.... TIMELESS.
