The Rise album was conceived in 1979 after the worldwide success of both the 7" & 12" version of the single "Rise," which became a huge hit song on sales charts, radio, and in dance clubs throughout America, Europe, and Japan.

Alpert decided to construct Rise with one side consisting of originals, composed by him and his fellow writers; and another side consisting of cover versions of songs he admired. All songs featured Alpert in the lead on trumpet, but many fellow musicians helped him bring the songs to fruition in the studio.

Side One included the famous title track, plus "1980," an instrumental theme which NBC Sports executive Don Ohlmeyer had commissioned for the network's planned coverage of the Summer Olympics in Moscow. Side Two included a cover of "Street Life," originally recorded by The Jazz Crusaders, a version of the Bill Withers song "Love Is" featuring Alpert's vocals, as well as a dance rendition of Joaquín Rodrigo's "Aranjuez" classical composition.

Rise was the first album to be recorded digitally on the 3M 32-track digital recorder at Alpert's A&M Records studios.

The album eventually peaked at #1 on the Billboard Jazz Album chart, and at #6 on both the Billboard 200 and R&B Album charts.
