Free Music Notes for Italia
Free Music Review: A Disco Queen tells her Jazz Story....
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is everything life should be: fun, soulful and passionate. It may be my favorite of all his CDs! And two years ago you couldn't drag me to a jazz club. The outfit angst alone would keep me locked in my house. Seriously, jazz music seemed so sophisticated and chic, all those notes and not even a word to sing along to.
I'm the ultimate Pop Princess. The Kareoke Queen. I could name any Top 40 tune in 3 disco beats or less. Then last year my boyfriend got tickets for a Chris Botti concert. I suspected he was subtly suggesting I broaden my musical horizons (we'd only been dating a few months so I was still in the "campaign phase" of the relationship, naturally I said, "Oh my god, I love jazz!") Of course, quietly I thought with any luck we would be sitting in the back in case I nodded off. I got unlucky, we were right up front. But Chris' music completely enchanted me. He played jazz classics, most of them I didn't recognize, and only a few had vocals but somehow it didn't matter. His trumpet sounded better than any voice I'd ever heard, you could imagine the words. After the show he greeted the fans. I tripped over the feet of two teenage groupies to get to him. I bought To Love Again and When I Fall in Love.
So to any of you who think jazz is too sophisticated buy one of his albums and you will fall in love with the music, and his talent so impressive you will think of jazz in a completely different way. I'm a disco queen convert! I'm not saying I don't listen to a little Rick James from time to time but now when I go to a jazz club I put on a pair of jeans, my awesome '84 Survivor Vital Signs concert tee and have a great time. I highly recommend "Italia". Bravo!
Free Music Review: Fantastico!
Hit: 5 Stars
Having recently visited and fallen in love with Italy, I look for music to keep me in that Italian state of mind.
This cd is a winner. I play it any time I want to relax and think back on my visit but I find that it is perfect for just about any time of the day or night. I think this is Chris Botti's best effort. I am betting any one who listens to him playing along with Dean Martin singing "I've Grown Accustom To Her Face" will smile for the rest of the day.
Free Music Review: Chris at his best
Hit: 5 Stars
Botti has sustained the maturing, enhanced development of his style...and substance. This is not necessarily the high water mark of his musical instincts and presentation, but certainly deserves top billing within his ultimate body of workFree Music Review: Chris Botti is the Best
