I saw him at a small 'tent' venue Aug/09 on Cape Cod. He opened w/this. I liked it more there, b/c it was just him w/1 gold/white spotlight coming down from above him. Empty stage otherwise. No backup & it was done a bit more traditional. Absolutely stunning rendition that had the audience so mesmerized, you could hear a pin drop when he stopped, before the roaring applause. Many had tears streaming, as did I. It was 1 of my wonderful B-in Laws faves. He passed away exactly 12 hrs. later.
@JacobLit He may play "simple" music, but his professionalism shows in the quality of the notes he plays. It's smooth and there is no start or end to them. It's almost like a slur when he starts playing...In my opinion:)
Saw this live at the Newport Jazz Fest, first time I heard of Chris Botti, absolutely amazing. His concert was better than the Wynton Marsellies concert in my opinion.
Ave Maria has always been one of my favorite songs, but hearing Botti play it, here, and I beleive on the Italia CD, is just beautiful, his tone is gorgeous and smooth, and that high note is nothing but sweet!
I was a Herb Alpert fan my whole life until I heard Chris Botti.... Also a Chet Baker fan... Have to say - he eclipses both of them... no ego... no drugs.. just a love of what he is doing... and that is a musician...
What a blessing to hear this man! WOW! It's one of the best renditions of Ave Maria I've ever heard! I wanna play this version of Ave Maria at my wedding. xD
in my opinion i think he is such a blessing, he is so talented, because not too long ago i was changing the chanel to see if there was something interesting on, and i heard him playng this exact song on the TODAY show and i truly fell in love,i needed to know who he was. im 19 years old and i listen to pop and all those types of music and never in my 19 years i wouldve thought that this kind of music would interest me and it did I purchased his CD and i LOOOVE IT
@08dimepiece08 same boat im 20 and started listening to him when his cd came out with "venice" from a jazz station..fell in love since, meanwhile rap music still holds my heart, chris is teh oddball in my rap collection
Thanks Sue - for recommending Chris Botti to me...I thought tallent had dissapeared in the past couple of decades! What a refreshing new sound I have discovered!!!

As a trumpet player myself - i have to give props to this dude! He sure can play a mean trumpet!!!

@Dennis343434 Hakan Hardenberger can play a mean trumpet. Chris Botti has yet to prove he can play above a high school level.
