His nephew Randy \"Badazz\" Alpert and Andy Armer had been attempting to create a disco-style version of his 1965 hit \"A Taste of Honey\" but the experiment left the trumpet legend feeling nauseated.\n\n\"But they had this song 'Rise,' which they wanted to be disco,\" Alpert continued. \"I loved the melody. We slowed it down to 100bpm and when we recorded it – also in one take – the bass player, Abe Laboriel, was dancing around the studio while he was playing. When I heard the playback, I got goosebumps.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
