      I’d like to express my appreciation for those who helped most by providing research assistance, reviewing, editing, and suggestions. Among these, I thank Dr. Samuel Griffith and Dr. Daniel Jonas, who as doctoral research assistants, put in many hours devoted to researching and verifying much of the material contained in

      this manuscript. The project would not have been completed

      without their tireless efforts. Thank you to my editor, Jon Woronoff,

      whose guidance, advice, and patience have been invaluable. I

      couldn’t ask for better. Lastly, one cannot undertake such a

      task as this without the support and understanding of family.

      I am ever grateful to Zahra, Samantha, and Brian, for everything

      you have done and continue to do in support of my work.

      Your love and support mean everything.

      A&M RECORDS

      A record company founded by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss in 1962. Founded primarily as an outlet for Herb Alpert to record and distribute albums for his group the Tijuana Brass, the label had great success in the late 1960s and opened offices overseas. A&M signed several pop groups that would go on to great success. These artists included the Carpenters, the Police, and Cat Stevens. Alpert and Moss decided to sell the label to Polygram Records in 1989, shortly after the success the label generated with Bryan Adams’s smash single “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You.” The label had moderate success with jazz outside of Herb Alpert and some albums of arrangements by Creed Taylor and Don Sebesky, which featured strings and several mainstream jazz artists, including George Benson. A&M produced many recordings of contemporary artists, including Joe Cocker, Sérgio Mendes, Peter Frampton, Joan Baez, Sheryl Crow, and others. Today, A&M’s catalog releases are managed by Verve Records, Universal Music Enterprises, and Interscope.
