Chris Botti has a trumpet sound that suggests the softer side of luminosity, the realm of sunsets and half-moons and low-wattage incandescence.

Chris Botti, Band and BRSO at the Baton Rouge River Center. 3/15/19
Chris Botti and his band and guest soloists with the BRSO did not disappoint.
He NEVER disappoints. Have been to many of his concerts, and he is always notonly the consummate professional, but also an audience engaging showman.
I believe that Chris Botti is the World’s greatest Trumpet-Master, and this excludes living and past trumpeters.
He. Can do things and “sound things†with that 85 year old trumpet that NO other musician on Trumpet can. He mesmerizes the audience with his style of “progressive fusion jazz like no other. Chris, if you read this, COME BACK SOON TO BATON ROUGE. You are our all time favorite. For this concert, weconvinced the entire Sinitiere clan to attend. No one left without feeling they had been uplifted into a new, smooth, tight and very, very cool style of music that only Chris Botti can pull-off. Thank you, thank you, thank you for another delightful night of EXTREME musicality. ... Read more

Chris Botti: Master performer
Once again, visiting Baton Rouge back in 2018, Chris Botti and band plus guest solo artists, proved to me that Chris is THE finest Trumpet Master in the World, living or dead. He transforms his 80+ year old Trumpet into a “visceral, livingâ€music machine and instrument that is truly alive, and this is evident to anyone who hears this great trumpet player perform will no doubt be recognized as “simply the BESTâ€!
If he were to perform in Baton Rouge on a nightly basis, my wife, Vina and I would be there to be mesmerized and grandly entertained. The National Football League would be wise to choos CHRIS BOTTI and band to perform to the masses at upcoming Super Bowls. I once listened as he played the National Anthem and America the Beautiful at Championship game, and I actually witnessed several 350 pound elite players “come to tears. ... Read more
