	Chris Botti Bio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Trumpeter Chris Botti is a gifted instrumentalist, a talented composer, and a charismatic performer who--since the release of his first solo album in 1995--has created a series of recordings that have made him a virtual genre-of-one in the realm of contemporary jazz.
		Botti's latest album, To Love Again, a collection of pop jazz standards from the acclaimed trumpeter and nine superstar guest vocalists, is a worthy successor to Botti's last RIAA gold-certified album, When I Fall In Love.
		Botti's solo debut, First Wish, was released in 1995; his second effort, Midnight Without You (a collaboration with English ambient pop group the Blue Nile) appeared in 1997 and was followed by Slowing Down The World in 1999.

		Boldly, Botti swings here with a big band on Let's Fall In Love", and after years of guessing that he would sound great on a standard ballad, we get to enjoy the proof as he sighs and coos his way through "My Romance" with a plaintive tone perfectly counter balanced by full string orchestra.
		Botti should also be commended for choosing a stellar group of backing musicians including the underappreciated pianist Billy Childs who adds his stylish touch on both acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes.
		While Botti has broken new ground in the smooth-jazz genre in the past, his rediscovery of his jazz roots marks While I Fall In Love as the album he has been threatening to make his whole career.

		Chris Botti is a talented trumpeter who has recorded with some of the most celebrated stars in pop music history, such as Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon, and most recently, Sting.
		But Botti's sound is deeper than most contemporary, popular smooth jazz - his sound has a substance that takes it beyond Muzak, and will be admired by fans of classic jazz artists, such as Miles Davis and Chet Baker.
		The selections contained on this disc are fairly representative of Botti's first three albums, with the 1997's Midnight Without You having five of its ten songs reproduced here, and three songs each from his 1995 record, First Wish, and 1999's Slowing Down the World.

		Botti, a trumpeter-extraordinaire, has done it again after the success of "When I Fall In Love," my top favorite of all his albums which to date is #4 on Billboard Top 25 Albums.
		Botti is brillant with his haunting style and terrific choice of melodies and guest vocalists.

		Botti has been compared to Chet Baker, but the comparison should extend only as far as soft good looks and sweet, limpid tone.
		Sting (in whose band Botti has played) does a wince-worthy version of "In the Wee Small Hours" that is both out of his range and beyond his vocal chops, and sings his own "Moon Over Bourbon Street," in which he sinks himself by doing a feeble Louis Armstrong impersonation.
		Botti's tone is pretty, his manner non-threatening and his looks are puffily cute.
