Product Description

Description
THE VERY BEST OF CHRIS BOTTI collects from three of the jazz-pop trumpeter's albums: 1995's FIRST WISH, 1997's MIDNIGHTWITHOUT YOU, and 1999's SLOWING DOWN THE WORLD. Botti's music is strong on warm, evocative atmospheres, light grooves, and sweet melodies, and the artist's confident, lyrical toneis always a pleasure. Botti's music also easily crosses over into straight pop territory as "Midnight Without You" and vocal contributions from Jeff Lorber and Edie Brickell, among others, prove. THE VERY BEST is a convenient, stylish sampler of Botti's smooth, likeable jazz-pop

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy Botti, 14 Jun 2004

By A Customer

After having heard Chris play on Sting's world tour, I simply plunged in and purchased this CD to discover more about this artist.

It's a superb collection of Botti's best songs, both as playing on his own and also being accompanied in a few compositions in three songs.

Botti's crisp tone is what makes this album is polished and lovely to listen to, and can be played at the end of a stressful day to unwind your mind, or played quietly at a dinner party for a group pleasure.

The style of each song doesn't quite flow and at times seems quite disjointed, yet this is to be expected when the best songs are cherry-picked from various albums with varying moods. This is not a bad thing however, it just takes some time to adapt to. The Blue Nile singing with Botti's trumpet is a divine song and I would purchase the album alone for this fine brandy of a song.

The album has very chilled moments like First Wish and the excellent finale with Irresistible Bliss, yet has cheeky and upbeat songs Drive Time and The Way Home, giving a splendid variety of flavour to the album.

A great selection of songs, but this is merely the icing on the Botti cake - I seriously suggest one also checks out the other albums Botti has on offer and also the live Night Sessions DVD.
