Night Sessions by Chris Botti: Smooth Jazz CD Review
by Lee Dennis, a.k.a. SmoothLee
Chris Botti, the exceptionally talented trumpet
playing smooth jazz artist, has released
the CD entitled Night Sessions and I
have to say my iPod is currently loaded up with Chris Botti music and I'm
looking for more.
Smooth Jazz fans, and in fact any music fan will love
Botti's music as he is certainly a master mood setter.

I recently had a trumpet player, who is no
slouch himself, tell me sounds like those generated by Chris Botti you're either born with
the ability to produce, or you work
your whole life trying to develop. I'd say that's pretty high praise from a
fellow musician. Which ever the case is with Botti, he sure is incredibly
smooth.
Night Sessions launches with a great track
called Lisa and proceeds to only get better from there.
It's part of the work that I do but it seems a
rare day when I get to listen to a CD on which every
single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is one
of those rare CDs.
Contributing on the project is Jeff Lorber on
keyboards, and a whole slew of other fairly notables.
Overall Night Sessions is an outstanding
release. What I call, must have music. I give it two thumbs up. This is a CD any music fan can and will enjoy
totally irregardless of genre preference. It's just simply good music and a must
have. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is
absolutely superb.
The standout tunes on Night Sessions are Miami
Overnight [track 2], Streets Ahead [track
3], and Light The Stars [track 10]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got
Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11, Through An Open Window.
Very nice!
