His first album in decades, Chris shares: “I turned 60 in 2022, at a time that seemed like a restart for so many things in the world. I wanted to strip away all the orchestral arrangements and special guests and focus more on my playing, the playing of my band, and these jazz classics that we always love playing onstage.”
The album, produced by the legendary David Foster, features a stellar lineup of collaborators, including pianist Taylor Eigsti, bassist Zach Moses, and saxophonist Chad Lefkowitz-Brown. Chris Botti’s mastery of the trumpet takes centre stage, delivering a cinematic quality that is both dramatic and emotionally vibrant.
