DVD : Chris Botti - Live - With Orchestra & Special Guests

Rating: - Chris Botti has earned a new fan today.
Chris Botti has earned a new fan today. His style of music and the smooth vocals of his guests have filled a musical void I've been searching for for a while now. Chris Botti: Live With Orchestra and Special Guests is a marvelous show put on by a marvelous performer with marvelous guest appearances, and now the entire experience is a marvelous Blu-ray disc. Not only were the visuals of the show superb and exceptionally reproduced, but the music itself is at times mesmerizing, at other times relaxing, and at all times wholly delightful.I'll admit to never having heard of him before, but after screening this disc, his will not be a name I soon forget.

Rating: - Amazing.
If you're a mainstream Jazz fan wanting to experience the HD audio and video, you'd love this. Great show, amazing music and brilliant collaborations from guest artists. It's a big show, on a big venue by a bunch of big artists...

Perhaps "Chris Botti & Friends - Night Sessions (Live in Concert)" is a quite more intimate/relaxed performance given the atmosphere of the site and the reduced size of the venue, which brings the opportunity to choose between two different kind of shows, but none of them seems better than the other one.

They're just different.

Worth having.

A fantastic DVD featuring the Trumpet Master Chris Botti and an assortment of musical guests with varied styles. He brings out the best in each selection and it is amazing! I never tought that a trumpet's sound could be as evocative as it is when played by a true genius.

We were disappointed..Not because of the content (we had heard it in a bistro and had to have it) but we thought we were getting a CD. We tried every means of getting it to play to no avail. There was no indication on the packaging that it wasn't a CD. Can you enlighten me? Time for returning had expired..
