After attending
Indiana University and studying with the highly regarded jazz educator
David Baker, the great trumpet teacher Bill Adam, jazz trumpeter Woody Shaw and jazz saxophonist
George Coleman, he moved to New York in the mid-'80s.
His early career was spent crafting his skills in settings reaching from the
Buddy Rich Big Band and
Frank Sinatra to
Natalie Cole and Joni Mitchell. Throughout the '90s and into the new century, Botti played extensively with Paul Simon, and had an especially creative association with Sting.
Now a major artist in his own right, performing worldwide, selling more than three million albums, he has found a form of creative expression that begins in jazz and expands beyond the limits of any single genre. With Impressions and the albums that preceded it,
Chris Botti has thoroughly established himself as one of the important, innovative figures of the contemporary music world.
Impressions is the latest in a stellar parade of albums -- starting with 2004's When I Fall In Love and continuing with To Love Again, Italia and the CD/DVD
Chris Botti In
Boston -- that have firmly established him as the world's best-selling jazz instrumentalist. Add to that a Grammy® for Best Pop Instrumental Album and four #1 albums on Billboard's Jazz Albums listings, and you'll see why this is a show that should not be missed.
