(5 Customer Reviews)
A sequel of sorts to Chris Botti's 2006 PBS special, LIVE WITH ORCHESTRA & SPECIAL GUESTS, the September 2008 event LIVE IN BOSTON found the sartorially splendid cool jazz trumpeter accompanied by the Boston Symphony and a collection of celebrity vocalists. Also available as a DVD, the concert delivers an overview of popular music, with jazz standards like "I've Got You Under My Skin" right alongside "Ave Maria" and Sting's "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You." Whether featuring rocker Steven Tyler, AMERICAN IDOL chanteuse Katharine McPhee, or pop-opera superstar Josh Groban, all the tunes are presented in Botti's inimitable, Chet Baker-influenced uber-smooth style.

Breathtaking Botti Chris Botti doesn't dissapoint! The perfect combination of trumpet with
voice or featured instrument sends chills down your back! Botti makes his trumpet sing with clarity and pureness in every note. Meditative and soul wrenching sounds takes the listener to another level of awareness. A perfect match of instrument and voice.
