"I have often been seduced by the melody of a beautiful song. That these melodies often play to our notion of what romance is, or how it feels, is something that captivates and inspires me when I play. I'm grateful I've been given the opportunity to reach into that peaceful, transcendent moment and share it with others." ~ Chris Botti
The genius of trumpet whose kind of music is so spellbinding has done it again. This recording is a chock-full of lovely ballads splendidly interpreted by Mr. Botti. His trumpet playing style is exquisitely fabulous and perfect. Each and every track is a treasure! And the entire CD offers delightful renditions by the greatest trumpet player of today, his guest vocalists Sting and Paula Cole, some of the finest arrangers Jeremy Lubbock, Billy Childs, Gil Goldstein, Marc Schulman and Bobby Colomby with the London Session Orchestra and the rest of the studio musicians.
These timeless tunes were tastefully chosen from the musical treasures of the best songwriters and composers of all-time; George and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen & Ted Koehler, Edward Heyman & Victor Young, and Paul Edgar Johnson, among others.
