A Smooth Jazz Compilation: All Tracks Featuring Chris Botti

I love this album, it mostly maintains Botti's traits of his

To Love Again - Chris Botti

This is a great CD by Chris Botti. Rich, lush and interesting textures of voices and music. I'm enjoying it immensely and recommend it to anyone.

'To Love Again' is right on time

This is my sixth Chris Botti CD and it was a change of pace that seems to be right on time. With the duets trend hitting the charts the past few years (Kenny G, Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles and Jim Brickman to name a few) one has to wonder if we are starting duet overkill. So I listened as Sting, Gladys Knight, Paula Cole and Michael Buble' make another contribution to a duet CD. But once again their work was very good and different from the other efforts. Then add young talented Renee Olstead and Jill Scott showing some veteran like 'jazz pizzazz' and the project comes off as poetry of pleasantry. The album picks up where Chris left off on his previous project 'When I Fall in Love', so it is only fitting that this one would be entitled 'To Love Again'. 'Good Morning Heartache' which seems to get most of the Radio air time brings out a Jill Scott that I never knew. The four non-vocal cuts show the versatility and Miles Davis like talent Chris possesses. The mellowness and range of `Embraceable You' definitely highlights his skill with notes. For easy listening or just entertaining friends with soft background sounds `To Love Again' is right on time. ~the JazzeOne
