We are also preparing our upcoming A&Mpedia™, our comprehensive encyclopedia of all things A&M. And we also have an Amazon store containing our hand-chosen list of A&M-related recordings for you to enjoy.

Register in the forum today, and join fellow A&M collectors, enthusiasts and fans all around the world discussion the music, the artists and the unique spirit that is A&M Records. Whether it's the first A&M album (The Lonely Bull) and the great music of the 60s, the rock bands of the 70s, the unique vibe of A&M's Horizon jazz label, the pop music of the 80s and 90s, this is the place to discuss it all!

Thank you for visiting!
From Denny Tedesco:

Such sad news from Hawaii. Trumpeter Ollie Mitchell has passed. Ollie became a top Hollywood studio musician during the ‘60’s and continued on into the ‘70’s and early ‘80’s. He became part of the sound of pop music on thousands of records, TV shows, jingles, cartoons, and movies during those years. The list of artists he has played with and for is several pages long and includes the Concert for Bangladesh held in Madison Square Garden in New York in 1971.

He has recorded with everyone...Barbara Streisand, BB King, Bing Crosby, Bobby Dari, Carole King, Donna Summer, Duke Ellington, Ella Firzgerald, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Harry James, James Brown, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Sammy Davis, Jr., Santana, Ray ...

Herb Alpert and Lani Hall start shooting their music video today for "Puttin' On The Ritz." The tune will be on their upcoming CD.

I thought that the song was the hit of the show (the night of March 9th) at Café Carlyle in New York City. In fact, I told Herb that it's a real 'kick-ass' song! It has a very catchy melody and nephew Randy's loop adds a whole new dimension. Who knows, it could be the 'new' Mexican Shuffle. They have brought in the best people to put it together and are quite excited about it. I'll pass along more details as I know them.

Charlie Chiarenza.jpg
by Denny Tedesco

Today we lost a friend of the family who was very special to my father. Charlie Chiarenza passed away today at his home at 82 years of age. Many of you may not know of Charlie or his name, but played with the Baja Marimba Band in the 1960s and toured with Burt Bacharach in the 70s and 80s. As kids, Charlie and my father grew up in Niagara Falls NY where they played like any other Italian kids. Playing cards and playing music. Soon my father came to Los Angeles in the 1950s, Charlie followed.

If you were around Los Angeles in the 80s and 90s, Charlie owned the popular Jazz club called Alfonse's Restaurant in Burbank. This is where all the local Jazz heavies would hang and play. But my fondest memories of Charlie is his ...
