| É sensacional a performance deste músico,uma das melhores surgidas nos últimos tempos.Alguns músicos tocam simplesmente o seu instrumento,porém Chris Botti a exemplo de outros como David Gilmour,Mark Knopfler arrancam sons de seus instrumentos.A versatilidade de Chria Botti aliada á sua capacidade de interpretação é estonteante e seu sopro inconfundível.Este Blu-ray está bem gravado e com boa qualidade de imagem. |

Chris Botti s by far and wide the best smooth Jazz trumpeter in the world today. This fabulous live concert CD/DVD is a great record of a magnificent concert he did in Boston with some friends as well as the Boston Pops Orchestra.
Anyone who knows anything about Jazz music and has any real taste will tell you that Chris Botti is a superior musician. As Sting said in his interview which are in the bonus features of the DVD - Who would have thought that his trumpet player from Sting's band - would go out and have his own solo career - and then invite him back as a guest on his own concert tour?!? And the incredible respect that Sting and Chris have for one another is no more evident than in the two songs Sting performs in this concert. I mean, you know you've really made it when you can get Sting to come out and do one song and then leave on your own show!!!
Yo-Yo Ma also features in this concert - Yo Yo Ma is royalty in the classical music world - and is undoubtedly the greatest cellist alive in the world today. The level of respect and love that all other musicians as well as all music lovers have for Yo Yo Ma is felt when he walks on stage. There is a sense of reverence almost for his musical brilliance - and this version of 'Cinema Paradiso' with Chris Botti is utterly sublime in every way.
Josh Groban does a lovely job of one of his hit's from the 'Closer' album - the Lara Fabian song 'Broken Vow'. (May i take this opportunity to say that Josh Groban does a million times better version of this song than Lara Fabian EVER did - he actually feels the dramatic simplicity of the lyric and the emotion without making it soap opera stuff).
And what a pleasant surprise - Katherine McPhee! What a great Jazz voice this young lady has!! She does a delightful rendition of I've Got You Under My Skin (Sinatra's original orchestration!). Who would have thought a young American Idol winner would actually get to rub shoulders with some of the best musicians in the industry?!
There are some heart-felt tributes in the concert as well. The first to Miles Davis' infamous 'Kind Of Blue' where Chris evokes the Miles Davis sound like only he could - with incredible tone and a sense of mystery.
The second tribute is to Jeff Buckley - and his famous version of Leonard Cohen's 'Halleluja'. His words about Jeff Buckley and his Grace album are a lovely moment.
Aerosmith's Steve Tyler makes a spontaneous 'surprise' appearance for two songs! One of them he dedicates to his father who's in the front row (Chaplin's 'Smile'). He's got a wierd mouth that Steve Tyler - he's quirky, but i could learn to like him.
John Mayer surprises us all with a Rogers and Hart song!!! Who would have thought?!?!? And hearing that the song 'Glad To Be Unhappy' was the reason he did the gig in the first place - made me respect the man a little more than I did. Another great musician alongside Chris.
Lucia Micarelli is lovely accompanying Chris in this version of Emmanuel. There is more on the DVD than on the CD. Only one or so songs are cut for the CD, but don't let that put you off. It's still got all the best ones there. Buying this combo pack is well worth the money! The band of 'cats' he plays with are the coolest jazz cats you ever did hear play smooth jazz.

| Wonderful concert. Purchased after seeing him live in a wonderful concert locally. Delightful person, warm, friendly as he signed and talked to all his patrons after the concert. |
| Would of been perfect without Steven Tyler | 2010-03-14 | 4 / 5 |

| The CD, DVD was great but I think the performance by Steven Tyler ruined the flow. Steven Tyler should not have performed at this concert...Tyler with the trumpet sounded pretty crappy. Big props to Lucia Micarelli and Yo-Yo Ma...their performance was beautiful...along with John Mayer. Please, Chris, no more Aerosmith or Steven Tyler performances!!!! |
| an unbeliveable covered song | 2010-02-25 | 5 / 5 |

| To just hear "Aerosmiths" front man cover a song that has been around since Charlie Chaplin and to dedicate it to his dad in the front row. Is both heart wrenching and incredible at the same time. With "Botti" in the backdrop is all the more reason this is a must have CD. Nuff said |
