Trumpeter and composer Chris Botti picture(s)/pic(s), wallpaper and photo gallery. Born: October 12, 1962 Portland, Oregon, U.S. Chris Botti biography (bio): Christopher Botti or Chris Botti is a trumpeter and composer; born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Corvallis, and spent two years of his childhood growing up in Italy. His earliest musical influence was his mother, a classically trained pianist and part-time piano teacher. He plays a Martin Committee Handcraft trumpet made in 1940, and uses a 3 silver plated mouthpiece from Bach made in 1926, having recently retired his 1920 3C Bach mouthpiece. In college, Botti studied under David Baker and Bill Adam at Indiana University. As of 2006, Botti has recorded eight solo albums. His first few efforts could safely be classified as smooth jazz, though critic Alex Henderson argues that Botti's music was a cut above much of the genre; reviewing his 1999 effort, Slowing Down the World, Henderson writes "it would be a major mistake to lump it in with the outright elevator muzak that Kenny G, Dave Koz, Najee, and Richard Elliot were known for ... Botti is capable of a lot more." Though still featuring heavy contributions from pop music singers, Botti's more recent albums have found him exploring more traditional jazz territory, with lush orchestral arrangements even earning comparisons to Gil Evans. Botti has also performed or recorded with artists such as Sting, Frank Sinatra, Chaka Khan, Andrea Bocelli, Jill Scott, Steven Tyler, The Blue Nile, Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Dave Koz, Jeff Lorber, David Torn, Roy Hargrove, Paul Simon, Clark Terry, Lee Ritenour, Renee Olstead, Paula Cole and Brian Culbertson. Botti was also a member of Bruford Levin Upper Extremities, a more experimental, jazz fusion-oriented group Botti is also a radio host. He had a show, called Chill with Chris Botti, that focused mainly on "chill" music, which is described as "smooth jazz with a touch of cool jazz," but in 2007, saxophonist Mindi Abair took over the hosting duties, and the show, using the same format as before, is now called Chill with Mindi Abair. Botti performed at the 2005 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, opening the show. In 2006, Botti won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s): "What Are You Doing For The Rest Of Your Life?" (Chris Botti & Sting) Billy Childs, Gil Goldstein & Heitor Pereira. On September 25, 2007, Botti released his new album "Italia". The album places focus on Botti's Italian roots through such songs as "Ave Maria", "Venice", "Estatè", and the title track "Italia".
