Italia

Great Cd. It came quickly and in time to surprise my wife for Christmas.

Being a fan of Chris Botti's already, I was not disappointed. And being of Italian heritage I was moved by the loveliness of the selections and of the original pieces by Chris Botti. The additions of Andrea Bocelli and Paula Cole were real plusses. I bought two more CD's as gifts, and a friend heard mine and bought one for a gift for a friend of his. There seems to be a little bit of Chet Baker in Chet Botti's horn, to me. This is a beautiful CD, worth having in one's collection. I rated this 5 FIVE star and can't get the rating to change from a two-bummer!

I am new to Chris Botti. However, his new CD Italia is impressive. It's moody, from the opening few notes that takes you to an ethereal, soft, and whimsical place, to an impressive overdubbing of his dynamic playing set to an old original Dean Martin swing tune (with Martin singing), this is a keeper. I will definitely look into other CDs in the Botti collection!

Fantastic! A must have for all his fans and even those who aren't. GREAT!

I enjoy Chris Bottis' new CD very much.. His style of trumpet playing is so relaxing & entertaining..
