Chris Botti: Grammy-Winning Jazz Trumpet Returns to Blue Note

Born in Portland, Oregon in 1962, Chris Botti -- born Christopher Stephen Botti -- studied trumpet at Indiana University before launching a session and touring career that has put him on stage and in studios with Sting, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Andrea Bocelli, Aerosmith, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Bette Midler, and many more across his decades-long career.

His own solo career took off with albums like Night Sessions (2001), A Thousand Kisses Deep (2003), To Love Again: The Duets (2005), Italia (2007), Chris Botti in Boston (2008, a Grammy-winning live concert film and album), and Impressions (2012) -- which won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album. The recent Blue Note Records debut Vol. 1 marks a return to his jazz roots after years of more pop-oriented projects.

The Sting collaboration deserves its own mention. Botti was a regular member of Sting's touring band across multiple album cycles, and the two have shared stages worldwide for decades. Botti's ability to fit into pop, jazz, and classical-crossover settings with equal facility has made him one of the most versatile trumpet players of his generation. Rolling Stone has covered his frequent crossover appearances in their reviews of major pop and jazz events.

The current touring approach centers on elegant concert halls, performing arts centers, and the boutique Blue Note jazz club circuit. Recent and upcoming stops include the historic Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre in Rochester, the Music Center at Strathmore outside DC, multi-night runs at Blue Note Hawaii, the Blue Note Summer Sessions at Meritage Resort in Napa, and the Martin Woldson Theatre at the Fox in Spokane.
