The 10th Anniversary season of Fitz's Jazz Café at the McCallum Theatre continues with trumpeter Chris Botti — a gifted instrumentalist, talented composer, and charismatic performer who has become a virtual genre-of-one, and a star, in the realm of contemporary jazz.
Botti began his career touring with Paul Simon, and later with Sting for the "Brand New Day" tour. His first album, First Wish, in 1995, followed by Midnight Without You, Slowing Down the World, Night Sessions, and December introduced listeners to his signature sound. It was the release in 2003 of A Thousand Kisses Deep that took Botti to the top of the charts. In 2004, When I Fall in Love provided Chris with his big break when he was featured on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." When I Fall In Love took the #1 spot on the jazz charts and spent an incredible 17 weeks at #1.
His next album, To Love Again, featured a collection of pop jazz standards and stand-out performances by some of the greatest singers in modern pop, rock, and jazz; Sting, Michael Buble, Gladys Knight, Steven Tyler and Paula Cole, among others.
A rare talent, whose singular combination of lush sound, sensual interpretations, and thoughtful improvisations have earned Botti critical acclaim and mainstream appreciation.
Botti appears at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, California, at 8 p.m. Nov. 20. Tickets are priced at $85, $65, $55 and $45 and are available by calling the McCallum Theatre Box Office at (760) 340-ARTS |
