Trumpet player Chris Botti’s formula for blending jazz and pop tunes has allowed him to share the stage with diverse acts, from the legendary Frank Sinatra to folk-rocker Paul Simon and country superstar Vince Gill. Chris Botti took up the trumpet at the age of ten and by high school was playing professionally in his native Oregon. A student of jazz impresario Miles Davis, Chris Botti relocated to New York, where five years later, in 1995, he cut his first solo record. After two more records, Botti had yet to find commercial success, but the critics took notice, appreciating his obvious talent for creating a jazz, pop, and indie arthouse sound that kept him out of the soft jazz Muzak bin. Then, a 1997 tour with Sting gave Chris Botti deep insight into his music and allowed him to create a fused sound that both jazz aficionados and pop fans could get behind. Abandoning the synthesized tools of the pop trade, Botti brought in an orchestra to back him on his 2004 release When I Fall in Love, and this new approach paid off. When I Fall in Love became the first of four straight studio albums to hit number one on the US Jazz charts and crack the Top 40 on the pop charts.
Chris Botti's 2013 album, Impressions, which featured selections from the Great American Songbook like Gershwin’s Summertime and Over the Rainbow, as well as contemporary tunes from R. Kelly and Randy Newman, earned him his first Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album despite reaching only number thirty-two on the Billboard 200. Chis Botti’s inspired trumpet playing has introduced pop-induced fans to a lyrical style of jazz and a reworked collection of American standards that proves good music never goes out of style.
