Herb Alpert just gave $15 million to what will now be known as the Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts.

In November, the eight-time Grammy winner–whose Whipped Cream (and Other Delights) sold more than 6 million copies in the U.S.–pledged $30 million to UCLA to form the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.

Elvis Costello and Clover (the Marin band that played with Costello on My Aim Is True in 1977) reunited for two sold-out shows at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall last week.

Proceeds from the concerts will go to the Richard deLone Special Housing Project for people who suffer from Prader-Willi Syndrome (an incurable, congenital disease that causes perpetual hunger, obesity, and decreased muscle tone & mental capacity).
