Chris Botti To Love Again
October 18th, 2005Richly talented Smooth Jazz artist Chris Botti has released his latest CD titled To Love 
Again and Wow! It’s really a good one.
I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with To Love Again. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Smooth Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors n the project including Sting, Jill Scott and Gladys Knight plus a few other notables as well.
If you’re even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you’ll enjoy this CD. Overall To Love Again is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 12, Here’s That Rainy Day. Good stuff!
