Herb Alpert - “Rise” (1979)
Sampled by *everyone* & Notorious B.I.G., this is the real deal. Perfect summer groove, that bassline is sick. I have to mention that Herb Alpert was the first - and only - artist to reach the top of the charts with an instrumental song (this one) and a vocal performance. Not bad eh.
Here you can see him chilling out with friends on a beach, kissing girls, basically having a good time, and yes, playing his trumpet.
