About the Album

Once upon a time, there was a guy with a horn, a girl in a sea of whipped cream and a bunch of songs that became American classics. Now, 40 years later, Herb Alpert is back, with new solos mixed in alongside even newer grooves by some of the most innovative artists around. There's even a brand-new girl on the cover.

Herb Alpert had a lasting influence on music and pop culture. The original Whipped Cream & Other Delights LP spent 8 weeks at #1 on the Billboard charts and more than two years in the Top 40, and earned three GRAMMY awards-the title track even took on a life of its own as the theme song for The Dating Game. Now, with Whipped Cream & Other Delights Rewhipped, some of the artists he's influenced have created a fun and modern tribute to his landmark album. Rewhipped, indeed.

-Tim Mohr, Playboy Magazine

"The best tracks - Mocean Worker's 'Bittersweet Samba,' Thievery Corporation's 'Lemon Tree,' Mr. Kambon's 'Ladyfingers' and Mr. Marinelli's 'Peanuts' and 'Lollipops and Roses' - celebrate the original recordings while casting the music in a modern light."

"Half the album's selections feature the work of veteran studio musician and movie score composer Anthony Marinelli, with two of them collaborations with local favorites, the Los Angeles-based Latin-Mexican collective Ozomatli... Marinelli also arranges an appealingly funky feel to 'Lollipops and Roses' that is very much in the spirit of the original, and brings out Alpert's best trumpet-playing...”

"Every song works, which isn't something one often says about a remix album. Some of the best remixes come from noted film composer Anthony Marinelli, who combines with Ozomatli to funk up 'Love Potion #9' and to deliver a fantastic take on the title track."
