“Botti’s supreme technical command of the trumpet coupled with an eclectic programme satisfies…to a tee.” —
LondonJazz
“His jazz-inflected style–traceable to the Miles Davis of late-1950s vintage, around Porgy and Bess and Kind of Blue–luxuriates in melody and mood.” —
The New York Times
Over the past three decades, Grammy Award-winning jazz trumpeter Chris Botti has recorded and performed with the best, including Frank Sinatra, Sting, Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, John Mayer, Andrea Bocelli, and Joshua Bell.

Drawing from the worlds of pop, jazz and classical, his signature sound combines a soulful ambience with naturally flowing improvisation. He has earned both critical acclaim and mainstream appreciation for a succession of best-selling albums and received three Grammy nominations this year including Best Pop Instrumental Album. Three of his albums have reached the #1 position on the Billboard jazz albums chart.
