Three of the biggest instrumental pop hits ever recorded were by trumpeters Hugh Masekela, Herb Alpert, and Chuck Mangione. Botti's fourth album comes equipped with more than enough catchy and light melodies to compete with that legacy, but it will probably be "All Would Envy," one of the two vocal tunes on Night Sessions, that will help this disc dent radio and sales charts. It's a song given an irresistible Brazilian lilt by its composer, Sting, who Botti has toured with, and sung hauntingly by Shawn Colvin. Like those aforementioned horn players, Botti does put an emphasis on rhythm on upbeat groove tunes like "Miami Overnight," "Streets Ahead," and especially "Blue Horizon," which has more than a hint of Europe's drum & bass sound, and features killer keyboard work by Billy Childs and album producer Kipper. But it's the Alpert-influenced "Through an Open Window," with its rock guitars and slick melody line that many may consider the hottest track. Most of the other tracks consist of Botti's crisp clear tone cutting through the kind of atmospheric, heavily padded keyboard music that has gotten him on smooth-jazz radio and Hollywood soundtracks. --Mark Ruffin

Summary: Chris Botti in Boston CD DVD
Comment: I've been a Cool Jazz fan since the 1950s when Chet Baker was the darling of the trumpet. Now with Botti I've added greater dimension to my experience as he covers Classical, Jazz and Pop. The duet with Lucia Micarelli on "Emmanuel" (my favorite Christmas song) was absolutely thrilling. Of course, Botti's and Andrea Bocelli's rendition of "Time to Say Goodbye" kept me mesmerized with the beauty of the harmony. Then there is Sting who never disappoints as both a trendsetter in style and composer extraordinaire. Could go on and on about all the artists on the album, but will just say "Botti, you've done a fantastic job of arranging."

Customer Rating:
Summary: Soothing Jazz
Comment: I like this album. I noticed that when I picked it up the critics had highly rated it. I still like his "When I Fall in Love" better. So far I haven't been disappointed in anything he plays though. Smooth, technically flawless trumpet playing. I like that he blends the jazz and pop so easily.
