An awesome feel great show
Not only is Botti amazing as an artist but he teaches us to observe what is like to give the light to so many great artists on his show. Wonderfully uplifting and a show I could see over and over and love every minute of it. Thank you for such a great experience

Great musicians, Not the best choice of songs
Birchmere - Alexandria
Chris brought very talented musicians with him to the Birchmere. I understand the desire to bring in new music to keep it fresh and interesting, but we really wanted to hear some of his old classics. We didn’t recognize any tunes and left disappointed -even though all songs were played very well with solid music craftsmanship. We are not fond of wailing saxophones and that’s what we got from one guest musician. And the choice of tunes for the female vocalist was not too good.

Don't Miss Botti - He's Got Your Joy

Chris Botti led a marvelous gig with 6 extraordinary musicians each of whom he gave the stage to at The Birchmere as soloists to fully display their musical, Improvisational and collaborative talents. The audience was thrilled by this quality and the 7 musicians' joy performing together. Don't miss this rare gift of jazz.

Great show.... Too short
Birchmere - Alexandria
Not having seen Chris before, I was not sure what to expect. All I knew was, He is a trumpet player. Could have just stood on stage playing a bunch of trumpet favorites for all I knew... But the show was incredible... the talent on stage were all first chair musicians. Chris would often casually observe and with a wave of his hand jump right in. The solos were tasteful and kept to a minimum. Chris introduced Sy Smith, (a DC Native) a true entertainer. Her vocals were only eclipsed by her showmanship! She had the crowd moving with her DJ beatbox rendition of an old classic. Chris also brought out an incredibly talented male vocalist guitar virtuoso named John Splithoff. His Michael Franks-like buttery tone caught everyone's attention when he sang his new song Raye that he had recently recorded with Chris Botti on Volume 1. I am sure that His name gets Googled extensively after each show... he is that good. Chris did an incredible job leading his band and his playing was other worldly. The show would have been a 5 out of 5 had he played just a little longer. The wait staff seemed surprised as well as they hustled to collect all the checks during the last song. Would pay to see him again.

Bio
CHRIS BOTTI IN CONCERT:
Trumpet virtuoso Chris Botti has made a lasting impression on his audiences ever since his first touring gig with Frank Sinatra in the '80s. The trumpeter's style and grace can't be matched as he fills the room with the sounds of his 1939 Handcraft brass trumpet, spellbinding audiences with the instrument's rich tones. The Grammy Award winner has played with a number of legendary artists including Sting and Andrea Bocelli, captivating audiences with signature hits like "Regroovable" alongside classics like "Ave Maria." Chris Botti never fails to disappoint, and he's sure to take fans on a musical journey they won't soon forget with his string of 2014 tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Influenced by his mother's musical background, Chris Botti began playing the trumpet at age nine, but it wasn't until he heard the classic Miles Davis track "My Funny Valentine" several years later that he decided to pursue a career in music. During his senior year at Indiana University, Botti toured with Frank Sinatra, which led to a number of gigs with famous artists like Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin and Natalie Cole. Since then, he's released ten studio albums — seven have reached Top 10 spots on the Billboard Jazz chart — and sold three million records. He's also been the host of the radio show Chill With Chris Botti and performed with the Boston Pops Orchestra alongside John Mayer, Josh Groban, and Yo-Yo Ma. Back on the road in 2014, the trumpet virtuoso is set to captivate fans on his highly anticipated world tour.
