Trumpeter Chris Botti is a gifted instrumentalist, a talented composer, and a charismatic performer who-since the release of his first solo album in 1995-has created a series of recordings that have made him a virtual genre-of-one in the realm of contemporary jazz. Through his singular combination of lush atmospheres and thoughtful improvisations, Botti has earned both critical acclaim and mainstream appreciation.

Botti’s latest album, To Love Again, a collection of pop jazz standards from the acclaimed trumpeter and nine superstar guest vocalists, is a worthy successor to Botti’s last RIAA gold-certified album, When I Fall In Love.

To Love Again, showcases Chris Botti’s inimitable velvet tone and sublime trumpet phrasings on 13 newly recorded pop and jazz standards featuring nine stand-out vocal performances by some of the greatest singers in modern pop, jazz and rock. After the first week of release the album debuted in the Billboard Top 200 in the #18 chart position promising great things. Billboard Magazine has predicted it could be “an even bigger hit” than it’s predecessor which remains in the Top Five of the Traditional Jazz Chart.

Joining Chris on To Love Again are guest vocalists Sting (“What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?”), Paula Cole (“My One And Only Love”), Michael Bubl
