Although the most popular contemporary jazz tends to fall into the "lite" category, trumpeter Chris Botti avoids painting himself into this corner by sticking with an approach more reminiscent of Chet Baker. For his 2004 album, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE, Botti takes it a step further by employing the London Session Orchestra to provide him with lush accompaniment on a program predominantly made up of standards. The Oregon native adds further layers to the album's sound by calling on singer Paula Cole, whose burnished vocals provide a fine foil on a brush-stroked version of Irving Berlin's "What'll I Do?" and "How Love Should Be," with its subtle mix of piano and strings.
Along with exquisite takes on Rodgers & Hart ("My Romance") and the Gershwins ("Someone to Watch Over Me"), Botti also shows a knack for the cinematic nuance of Ennio Morricone ("Cinema Paradiso") and the pop-jazz of Sade ("No Ordinary Love"). The handsome horn player even ropes old employer Sting and bandmates Dominic Miller and Vinnie Colaiuta into lending their talents on the samba-flavored "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" (composed by Sting and Miller). With its dusky mood, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE serves as the perfect soundtrack for a late-night cocktail party or a romantic evening by the fireplace.

    Botti's latest Italia is his best work, obviously since it's up for a Grammy, but his When I Fall In Love is excellent also. Everyone can enjoy it you don't have to be a jazz fan to like him. This CD will expand his fan base which is growing rapidly. See him live and you'll want all of his CD's.

      When I Fall In Love - Botti, Chris (CD 2004)
    Review created: 01/03/08

    This was my first Botti CD and I was blown away by his talent! He makes the trumpet sing like I have never heard before. If you are looking for some really smooth jazz, you can't go wrong with this CD. I am hooked for life! CB

    Being with the one you love, with the lights down low, a fire in the fireplace, a fine bottle of wine and Chris Botti's "When I Fall in Love" for background music . . . that's my idea of "the" perfect romantic evening. If you're looking for music for such a evening . . . this CD is it.
