Over the last 60 years, trumpeter-vocalist Herb Alpert<\/a> has scored 14 platinum albums, co-founded A&M Records (the home to Janet Jackson, the Police and Peter Frampton) and become a major philanthropist; his foundation has donated millions to arts education programs ranging from the Harlem School of Arts to UCLA.<\/p>\n

Alpert\u2019s story will be told in Herb Alpert Is\u2026, <\/em>a new film directed by John Scheinfeld (whose previous films include Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary <\/em>and The U.S. vs John Lennon.)<\/em> The film has been picked up by the independent distributors Abramorama; it will hit theaters beginning May 5th, with a one-night world premiere event at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. A release says the film will  trace \u201cAlpert<\/span>\u2019s personal and creative journey that reveals the critical events, experiences and challenges that have shaped an extraordinary life and instilled deep within the Grammy-winning trumpeter the desire to make a difference each and every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow legends appear in the film, too: Sting<\/a> calls him a \u201ccultural icon.\u201d Questlove<\/a> calls him \u201cfunky.\u201d Lou Adler calls him \u201cthe coolest person in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHerb is a true artist who did things the right way, achieved success on his own terms and brought much joy to the world in the process,\u201d Scheinfeld says. \u201c I wanted to make a documentary that would reflect this and, most importantly, to be a \u2018Feel Good\u2019 film that will uplift, inspire and bring audiences together exactly as does Herb\u2019s music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Abramorama CEO Richard Abramowitz: \u201cIt\u2019s our great honor to celebrate the man who outsold the Beatles in 1966 and co-founded the most successful independent record label in history on his way to supporting artists and students young and old around the world. Herb Alpert<\/span> is a renaissance man of the highest order.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s looking back on his life, Alpert is not done making music. His latest album, 2019\u2019s Over the Rainbow<\/em>, debuted at Number One on the Billboard Jazz and Contemporary Jazz album charts. Alpert begins a North American tour<\/a> in Arizona Wednesday with Lani Hall.<\/p>\n
