Trumpet player Chris Botti

[Pioudine]

I discovered Chris botti a few years ago. He is involved in cool and soft jazz and the sound he produces is sometimes very close to chet baker, a flugel horn like sound that always flows as a cool swing.
To me, Chris botti is one of the best jazz trumpet players since the melodic and sound quality becomes more important than virtuosity.
I particularly appreciate the album "in boston". Accompanied by the boston philharmonic, Chris botti invites musicians of different styles and always keeps an open mind to jazz, film music, pop songs ...
