The trumpet is a notoriously difficult instrument to tame. Being 'loud', 'rash', 'in your face' is probably what most think about the trumpet. Fanfares to welcome royalty, cheers to commemorate victories and more feature the trumpet as the leading instrument. In the Jazz/pop arena, the trumpet is hardly a key. Miles Davis come to mind as one of the virtuosos of the instrument. And now, we have Chris Botti, whom perfects the brass instrument like no other. He hits the high notes with ease, and with smooth effortless delivery. Ballads sound great too under the maestro's handling. With a world class backing band, with an amazing vocalist (can't remember the name here).
Botti would talk about the story behind each song, with witty humour adding to each story (Which I feel relates well with the audience and the music!)
