Chris Botti Tickets

The band the Chris has put together is absolutely incredible! They are all fantastic musicians...I just wish they would stay away from the little commercial "pop" jazz (I know it pays the bills - but it also put me to sleep) Overall the concert was very well done (lighting sucked!...they need to fire the lighting tech.) Sound was decent..probably could use a new sound board man too. But the musicianship, incredible. EVERYONE in the band is at the top of their game! But I would recommend the concert to others.. Chris...less talk more playing! Have you ever been to a Metheny concert? He says it all with his guitar.

My husband and I both throroughly enjoyed the concert at the Midland. Exceptional music, beautiful surroundings - couldn't ask for a better evening!

Chris Botti's show at the Midland in Kansas City was unforgetable. He and the band became one with the audience and the acoutics of the venue were simply perfect. What a great time merging both music and stories of the road. The group left me in awe as they have everytime I've seen them. I enjoyed the change in tempo on a couple of his favorites too.

Wow! what a great show in a neat setting. The renovation of the Midland is really cool. Having worked there way back in '68, it was neat to see the old place looking good. What a great venue for concerts like Chris Botti. As for the music and the show, it was everything we had hoped. Botti is a great talent. He is supported by some fantastic musicians, especially the drummer. That guy is truely like the front end of a rocket ship. I would highly recommend Chris Botti to anyone who has never seen one of his shows. Also, find someone you want to see who is playing at the Midland and GO!

The show was absolutely amazing! Chris Botti is an exceptional artist. Blending the trumpet with different genres of music is not an easy task. He blends it with jazz, classical, and even some rock. He not only is a great musician, but a charming a witty person. The show along with the venue was very intimate. He can literally make the trumpet talk! He is one of a kind.

Chris Botti was awesome - he surrounds himself with amazing talent. The singer (cousin of the guitar player) was mediocre at best. Violinist was very talented but waaaay too dramatic for me. Bottom line > I would have liked to hear more of Chris and less of the others.

What a nite it was not only the place WOW the midland was impressive first time in the venue but CHRIS BOTTI what can i say.It was my second time to see him and it gets better everytime.I wanted to get up and dance i was in my chair.Way to go chirs and band.

Chris Botti is the quintessential showman on stage. Not only does he prove to be an instrumentalists for the ages, he also embraces his audience like family. Part of the enjoyment of seeing Chris is enjoying the bountiful stories that he shares with his audience. Chris invites his audience to laugh(and cry) about the trials and tribulations of being on the road for 6 years. Though the Midland Theater was a beautiful setting for the concert, the light show put on (behind the scenes) was terrible. Chris has surrounded himself with amazing musicians on stage, yet the supporting cast of technical "gurus" left them on stage with no cloths on. I'm sure Chris wants his audience to leave his shows thinking, "Wow, that was an amazing show." However, that's not what I took away from the show at all. Yes, Chris and his posse were amazing musicians. The lighting was amatuer'ish' at best. I think everyone should see Chris Botti if they ever get the chance, just don't expect his supporting cast to be quite as amazing!

Chris will literally "blow" you away. Such a pure sound, like nothing I've ever heard. His Style and range is seriously off the charts! I love how Chris engages with his audience and between songs, tells a story connecting his life to the song. He's smart, sexy, funny and a sweetie...with an incredible talent, a true gift from God. You will be glued to your seat, energized, moved to tears and be better from having been his presence and having this experience. He has attracted the greatest contemporary jazz artists to back him up as his band. Chris highlights each band member and at the end of the show they each take 5 to showcase their individual talents. Truly REMARKABLE. His drummer, Billy Kilson steals the show with his amazing solo. You don't want to miss this. 4 standing ovations throughout the show!

I love Chris Botti, but what I didn't realize was how incredible each member of his band is. His drummer is absolutely amazing! They had a guest violinist that gave me goose bumps. Absolutely an incredible evening with exceptionally talented musicians. To top it all off it was at my favorite venue the Midland.

Chris Botti did not disappoint. He and his band are all remarkable musicians. This is my third time to see him in Kansas City, and I would go again. Caroline Campbell (?) replaced Lucia Micarelli and was awesome. Go see Chris Botti if you love great music. I am diasappointed in the Midland. The theater is beautiful and the sound was fantastic - but folding chairs? I wish the person who thought folding chairs had my seat last night with the stocky, antsy man next to him/her.

He is extremely talented and all of his band members are amazing. Would definitely see him in the future. He is very audience friendly. Can't say much more except the show was awesome.

i was blown away by this show! very few artists can pull of studio quality sound in a live setting....botti, his band and his guests did just that. his drummer is a freak of nature. it sounded like an octopus was on the drum kit! go see chris botti any chance you get!

Not only was Chris Botti as fabulous as I expected him to be, but he has surrounded himself with some of the most amazing talent I have ever seen in a group. He selflessly shares the spotlight with all these amazing musicians to put on a most entertaining show. Bravo!!

The Midland rennovations were amazing. What a beutiful restoration! Chris Botti and the band filled it with heart & soul. So nice that Chris took the time to sign CD's and posters. He was very gracious. Glad I went.

Chris Botti was entertaining from the minute he and his band, stepped on the stage, that was turning constantly. There were people there of all ages 18 to 90, His trumpet made you cry at time it was so beautiful and he made you laugh I would tell every one to go.

I was Very Pleased with the Fred Fried Opening...He is Totally Worth a Big Mention. Chris Botti....i say, A Class Act, with No Less than Sterling Accompianists',.. Billy Childs' Expertise...an Awesome Guitarist..Shane (?)..the Bassist from Foxboro MA was Adored...Drummer, Billy Kilson generously shared no small amount of Passion and together with the Humble Mixer ( ?) ... well i wanted to follow Camp, i assure you. My vocal Heart goes out with Loving Prayers to Sy (Sensational) Smith....and the Incredible talent of Caroline Campbells' Violin....WOW.... YESSSSS INDEED, i am still holding on to the Love....Very Beautiful. Can i go again?

If you thought this would be boring, think again! Extremely talented group of musicians, diversified, entertaining and laidback.

The Botti concert was great! The opening act was a bit slow but OK. Botti is a wonderful showman and in tune w/ the people. I'd go again.

Chris Botti and his band were more than amazing. What a personable group of guys and girls. Chris was charming! I enjoyed listening to his stories. Actually, I felt like I was in a friend's living room just hanging out. It was truly an AMAZING evening. I hope Chris and his band continue to play at the Cape Cod Melody Tent.
