Summary: Awesome Smooth Jazz
Comment: This is my first Chris Botti cd and I can't believe I've been missing out on his talent. Beautiful, smooth jazz that just seems to flow from his trumpet with such ease. I can't wait to add his other cd's to my collection.

Summary: His way with the trumpet
Comment: The first time I heard Chris Botti was during a special on Oprah. It was good then. So I bought this album and when I heard the first track and from then on, it was like this guy has a way with the trumpet. When I listen to other trumpet players, it gets me thinking, "Yea, they play well. They play good." But with Chris Botti, there's just one thing I will say about his playing. It's almost like he is caressing the trumpet. The trumpet is no longer an instrument, it became a part of his being. Listen to this album when you've got a fireplace going, with a nice rug, on a winter's evening and just while your thoughts away.

Summary: Covers, but beautiful ones.
Comment: First off, I consider myself more of a classic jazz fan and often snubbed my nose at fusion and smooth jazz artists. But once I heard Chris Botti on the radio I've had to change my tune somewhat. Here is a master melody man who truly captures the subtleties of jazz, and the lush, wonderfully-produced tracks on all his Cds are a joy to kick back and listen to. While I was a bit disappointed at first to see the dearth of originals on his newest CD, When I Fall In Love, I must admit that Mr. Botti once again has won me over. This is a gorgeous collection of wintry-like love songs. Some of the standouts for me are the opening track, "When I Fall in Love," and the classic "Someone to Watch Over Me." But like his previous records, the entire album is solid, not a weak track to be found. My advice? Buy this record, pop it into your CD player, slide into a comfy chair and let the music wash over you. Thanks, Chris. But more originals next time, please.

Comment: Really enjoy Chris Botti's music. I do not like the guest vocalists though. Would enjoy more of his music and guest musical accompanists. I look forward to trying some of his other CDs.
