Week 7

For this week I decided to pick the song "A taste of honey" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. I really like the use of the trumpet in this song it is almost the lyrics of this song and all the other instruments are the backups to it. This song is very swinging in its mood. I am willing to bet that it was a very popular song choice for people to dance to in clubs when it came out. Although the main chorus is very swingy, there are parts where it really slows down and becomes much more intimate which I think would have made it even better for dancing to as you could have your special moments with your partner, and then you could pick the pace right back up again and start swinging around.
Another thing that I wanted to point out about this song that is also very impressive is the fact that it does not even have any vocals. I think it is very impressive that a song with no vocals from this time period would become so popular and influential that it would end up being a song that we decided to cover in this class.
