Summary: Botti is The Best
Comment: -
I came across Chris Botti's solo work through his association with Bill Bruford and Tony Levin.
If you haven't heard it already, I strongly recommend the CD "Blue Nights" (do a search on Amazon - it should be the first one that comes up).
"Blue Nights" is a live CD from the tour that supported "Bruford Levin Upper Extremities" (B.L.U.E.), and it is one of the best live experimental jazz sets you're likely to hear (2 CDs).
The thing I find most interesting about Botti's solo work versus his work with BLUE is that it represents such extremes: his solo work is hauntingly lovely romantic ballade covers, and his BLUE work is edgy, improv jazz.
Knowing both ends of Chris' musical spectrum only helps in a greater appreciation of his talents.
This is a diamond in the rough. Enjoy!

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.

Editorial Reviews:

This is not the typical example of an artist from another genre jumping on the crowded standards-and-ballads bandwagon. When I Fall in Love instead represents an instrumental stylist busting out of a box to find a much more suitable platform for his craft. These tracks are the fruits of an obvious labor of love for everyone from the featured musicians to the arrangers to the engineers. The arrangers, particularly Billy Childs and Gil Goldstein, give Botti's trumpet a broad-brushed orchestral backdrop that allows him to emerge from the swirling strings and bouncy horns with bold strokes of creative improvising. Some tracks are obvious nods to Gil Evans and the lush arrangements of 1970s CTI recordings. Even the guest vocalists, Sting and Paula Cole, let his trumpet sing first before their respective cues on "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" and "What'll I Do." The only blemish here is the obvious attempt at smooth jazz airplay with Sade's "No Ordinary Love." --Mark Ruffin
