Herb Alpert, legendary musician, artist and philanthropist has sold more than 72 million albums - 29 of them gold or platinum - outsold The Beatles in 1966 and co-founded A&M Records, the most successful independent record company in history. Herb Alpert Is… looks at Herb’s extraordinary life with rare footage and interviews with colleagues like Sting and Questlove.

Through the mid-sixties, the music he made was everywhere. Even the men orbiting the earth in the Apollo 8 capsule could not escape the sound of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass as Houston beamed up the radio signal to the astronauts. The incredible success of the instrumentalist led him and his partner, Jerry Moss, to create the most successful independent record label in history. Mr. Alpert also discusses his lifetime spent making and showing his paintings and sculptures, and how the course of his life has been decided in part by his vision, but just as much through a knack for improvisation.
