Chris Botti

Ive seen Chris Botti 3 times now and each show has its own flavor depending on who are his Guest Artists for that show.....Chris always gives you his all and his shows are definitely a real treat!

Chris Botti is more than just a world-class trumpet musician. His show is an eclectic mixture of amazing jazz performances. From heart-warming violin solos that break into a Stairway to Heaven rock symphony to drum solos that rival any headbanger monologue. Chris engages the audience with humor, laughter, and floor presence, but gives away all accolades to his back up musicians that color his work. A must, must, did I say..."must?" concert of the decade.

Nice performance of Chris Botti with great musicians. The dummer amazing

Chris Botti's performace at L.A.'s Greek Theater was an unforgettable experience. His engaging showmanship, talent, and supporting band kept me cheering for the entire set. Opening with Ave Maria lulled the audience into a trance before slamming them with an electrifying jam session that was tempered with ballads, standards, and even classically arranged music. The surprise appearance by John Mayer singing a standard put the audience into a cheering frenzy.

I always buy tickets when he's in the area (Southern California). Such an amazing and sexy trumpet player. I just get lost in his music and appreciate every note he plays. His band is exceptional and they are truly all cherry picked to be on his tour. Breathtaking.

Overall I love all the songs Chris played, especially the one coupled with John Mayer...

Not only was Chris Botti amazing but everyone who participated in the concert. From the musicians to the vocalist. Renee Olstead has a surprisingly amazing singing voice.

We went to the Chris Boti show because Renee Olstead was going to sing and we were fans of her and knew a little about Chris Boti. Well it turned that we were pleasantly surprised to be thoroughly entertained by Boti and his band. The show was fantastic from start to finish. What was the best, besides his outstanding trumpet playing, was that he connected with the audience, had wonderful guest artists and an amazing band. Loved Chris telling stories about his life and John Majors surprise appearance at the end of the show was great. The venue was great except for the stacked parking. That needs improvement. While Renee Olstead did not get too much time she is still someone to be watchng. She has a beautiful voice. Maybe someday Chris will have here sing during his show. All in all it was a great experience.

Chris Botti at the Greek was a Mesmerizing evening. His wonderful sense of humor brought laughter and smiles from the Audience throughout the evening. Chris, and all of the members of his band are talented musicians that become "one" with their instruments. I saw Chris for the first time last year at the Hollywood Bowl and was blown away. I cannot wait to see him again!

Chris Botti displays an awesome performance!! Loved it, I have followed his concerts and music ever since he played in Dana Point, CA...

Chris Botti pays a hot Trumpet. He has a great personality. He interacts with the audience. I truly enjoyed his show. His Special Guest was Renee Olstead, she was very good too. I would buy tickets to see his concert again. He had John Meyer as a suprise guest at the end of the show.

this is certainly one of my favorite, I play the CD/DVD over and over, never get tired

Absolutely fantastic!! Great music, beautiful venue and outstanding music. Especially loved the surprise appearance by John Mayer

Botti is at the top of his game and getting better as are his great haircuts. If ever there was a perfomer that has a love affair with the trumpet he has perfected his craft. This was the third time I've seen Chris and he just keeps getting better and better. Thanks for always putting on such great shows!

I loved Chris Botti's show at The Greek Theater yesterday(7/9/09) where John Mayer was the surprise of the night. You could hear the ladies squee with excitement when John came out to sing "In The Wee Small Hours" for the first of two encore songs. He was great and made a big impression, coz the attendees were still exclaiming even after the show that they were impressed. Chris gave John big props saying he has a classic talent like Sting and Frank Sinatra and will have a long career. I could just see the John that Chris described e-mailing him before the show asking," Shouldn't we at least talk about the song arrangement?" I guess pros, like the ones we saw tonight, can just wing it and get it so right! Chris and company were awesome. The guest violinist, Caroline Campbell (sitting in for a wounded Lucia Macharelli) played Emanuelle and Cinema Paradiso with so much passion I almost cried. Even the mic-ing problems which caused 2 false starts did not detract from the final effect. Sy Smith, who sang several songs, such The Look Of Love and What'll I Do, was off the chart with her vocal artistry. Chris gave his incredible band of musicians lots of room to shine. Billy Kilson, who is my personal-favorite drummer, gave an unbelievable solo that can only be described as impossible. But he made it so! Of course, Chris was the star of the night with his beautiful trumpeting the his unique instrument, the Martin Committee 1939, which he treasures and plays with the greatest of chops. The set included songs from A Thousand Kisses Deep (my favorite), Italia and some Live From Boston tracks and others. As John said you must see this concert! The night was opened by Renee Olstead who sang jazz standards and a self-penned blues tune with a voice that sounds much more mature than her 17 or 18 years. That young lady willl be around thrillling ears for many years to come.

Fantastic! This was one of the nicest evenings we have had. We purchased the picnic lunch for prior to the concert which was fabulous. The weather was beautiful and the entertainment was superb. Renee Olstead was pleasant suprise. She was entertaining and has a wonderful voice. We have enjoyed Chris Botti for a long time and seeing him in concert was great time. He is charming and entertaining. It's great to hear such talented musicans who make you feel their passion.

Great bang for the buck. Very enjoyable evening! Thought Renee Olstead would appear with Chris.

I have always admired Chris Botti s talent, and had the unique opportunity to meet him a couple of weeks ago on Sunset Blvd while he was having sushi and saki a couple tables away from mine. I excitedly went home that night and looked to see when he would be performing next in LA. I was so happy when I discovered it was so soon at the Greek Theatre. This would be my first time to hear him live! Last night, I was blown away! His music pulled at my heart strings. I could have listened all night. Not only is his musical performance enchanting but he has a way of charming the audience with his sense of humor and beautiful speaking voice. I will definitely make an effort to hear him perform again. Hopefully, at the Fabulous Fox in St. Louis, my home town.

The evening was chilly but the sound was passionately straightforward providing a keepsake of unforgettable warmth. All you need do was close your eyes and drift away to serenity. The entire performance was evidence of grace, praise, collaboration, communication,positive emotions throughout. Most enjoyable evening spent in all my trips to the Greek over the past years. Felt as if I had gone to Italy in person for the two songs that the violinist participated in, incredible sound!

Chris Botti is an amazingly unselfish performer. He band is incredible and did he best to showcase their talents. This is a sign of a truly gifted and confident performer. It's refreshing to see a great artist give opportunities to other great artists in these days of self preservation. Let's all learn to play an instrument and be like Chris Botti!

amazing! best concert ever! i loved how unique and entertaining the music was.

The show was great but I wish he played a few of his old pieces because those are the ones I fell in love with.

Excellent show, nice place, beautiful night, i will go again.

This was a great concert with a good mix of jazz and ballads.

What a great experience. Beautiful venue, amazing music. A few microphone issues which were quickly corrected, but other that, incredible performances by all involved.

THE CHRIS BOTTI CONCERT WAS THE BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER SEEN. I ENJOYED ALL THE ARTISTS PERFORMANCES. I WAS PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED WITH THE TRUMPET PLAYING. HE CAN HOLD A NOTE A LONG TIME AND THE SOUND IS SO CLEAR. THERE WAS A WIDE VARIETY OF MUSIC AND ALL THE SELECTIONS WERE GOOD. IT WAS A PLEASANT NIGHT AT THE GREEK THEATRE

Took my 18 year old daughter and she was completely blown away . she's never really been to that type of concert or venue. Chris botti was incredible and has another huge fan for life.

Chris Botti is a wonderful musician and entertainer. He knows how to engage with the audience and always presents a great lineup of fellow performers as well. Never disappointed after attending one of his shows!

A great evening filled with quality and beautiful music. Chris and his band proved why he is such a favorite with contemporary listeners of this music. An enjoyable evening.

Great show!! Great drummer with him. Would go see anytime

CHRIS BOTTI W THE ASO WAS FANTASTIC! AND THE GUESTS HE HAD JOIN HIM WERE AMAZING! SO GLAD WE GOT TO GO!

My 3rd time to see Chris Botti was definitely the best! Seeing him in a small venue like the Birchmere is just amazing!

Chris was so professional, personal and down to earth at this show. He even encouraged photos, tweets and messaging during the show. By the end we were all standing. At times it was intimate just a duo with the horn and piano, other times it was "Smoking" and true "Jam session" Loved IT!!!!!!

My guy and I attended the event at Tacoma down on March 18 . it was his Christmas present from me .

We loved every moment Chris was on stage! He is so talented and a true performer. The surprise guest appearances added to the excitement

We thoroughly enjoyed the Chris Botti show with the Columbus Symphony. Chris was personable, energetic, engaging, and superb! The band with him was terrific, especially Geoffrey Keezer on the piano and Caroline on the violin.

What an incredible evening of music. Chris Botti created a beautiful mood with his exquisite trumpet backed up by outstanding musicians. Wonderful experience!

Chris Botti, delivers a beautiful music trough his instrument. You will travel across the world of jazz in his concerts. I am not a jazz lover however Botti makes you love it with his passion for it

We were anxious to see Chris Botti, since he is one of our family's favorite performers, but we certainly weren't expecting the superb production these very talented musicians gave us. Chris is a very smart and talented trumpet master, as well as all of his combo and visitors. The three guests could have their own show with their talent. One thing we especially liked was the diversity of musical selections; from jass to pop to opera.

Chris and group was amazing again. I've seen Chris many times and never a disappointment. Chris is very crowd oriented. Thanks Chris for another great show.

The event was captivating from start to finish with performers worthy to share the stage with Chris Botte.

The entire Concert was awesome so much fun it was...I hope they all come back soon.

I discovered Chris Botti when he opened for Josh Groban, many years ago. I've now seen him 3 more times. He never disappoints, plus the tenors were very talented.

We saw Chris Botti and the band on Sunday 4/17/2016 in Evansville, Indiana. Every song was fabulous. Chris is such a star that he can let the individual members of the band have their moment in the starlight. He is as much a gentleman off stage as on. I also met Lee Pearson and Richie Goods after the concert. They were both were very nice to meet. Every member of that band was outstanding. Chris you nailed it! We will be back to see you next time.

This was my fourth time seeing Chris Botti in concert!! He is just as amazing as ever, too!! Musicians have a knack at highlighting their particular talent,, and to most people, the thought of attending a concert where the person doesn't sing, but they play trumpet, might seem a little "boring". That was not the case with this concert! He has the unique ability of taking the "instrument" and allowing it to blend, and become an intricate part of the pieces he played! The song choices were perfect,, and his band was as talented at their instrument as he is! There was also a vocalist and she was superb!! What a great evening to spend, in music and being transported "into" the music itself!

There are no words, from start to finish was Outstanding!!! Chris Botti was phenomenal and the entire band was right there as well!!! I get "chicken skin" just thinking about it...It was a Very intimate evening and I Loved it! As is usually the case with an artist with so many tunes, there were a couple I would have liked to hear that were not played but I have Zero complaints about any part of the show! The Florida Theatre in Jacksonville, Fl. is one of my all time favorite venues--is beautiful and the acoustics are Amazing! Mr. Botti and entire crew wowed everyone there...I cannot express strongly enough how much I appreciate Mr. Botti sharing his talent in what is probably a small venue for him--Thank You Thank You THANK YOU!

I've seen Chris Botti a half-dozen times over the years and this one didn't disappoint! An amazing band, guest artists and more and the amazing artistry of Chris Botti. Great venue too -- one of several I've attended at the Wilbur this year and all have been outstanding. The meet and greet w/ Chris after was awesome too!

One of the top ten shows I've seen- and I've been to dozens...

1st class performance! A MUST SEE! Chris was very engaging, the band was amazing. Cannot wait to see him again at this venue

Fantastic show, terrific music, great variety. I was expecting a typical jazz performance and got so much more. An Italian aria, Led Zeppelin on the violin, of course great jazz and an AMAZING drum solo beyond words (I typically hate drum solos). Very talented group of musicians that look like they are having a great time together. Chris is very personable, came down into the audience to perform. Played for 2 hours; unheard of!

Chris and band were wow, amazing!! Hard to say one song was better than another..they were all good! Thanks for letting people take photos and for loving what you do!!

I don't get many nights out since having my son but I will ALWAYS choose to see Chris Botti esp with the symphony! It was a perfect evening with incredible, moving music. I wish it could've lasted hours longer! Can't wait for his return! This was my 4th time seeing him and he brings an incredible performance every single time. I especially loved the small lounge-like finale song with just Chris. Great way to say good-night - til next time...

This was my first concert with Chris Botti and OMG!! He is phenomenal. The plethora of gene that was played and the musicianship was just awesome. Of course I will be seeing him again if he comes back to the Columbus OH area

We absolutely loved being at this concert. The music was amazingly romantic. It was our first time at motor city sound board and we loved it!

Great evening at beautiful outdoor venue! Chris Botti was on-point and his band was full of character plus talent! Enjoyed Chris's special guests, esp violinist (Lucia) and female vocalist. Wonderful evening!

The music was amazing, and Chris surrounded himself with incredible talent! He highlighted the talent of each player in the band and I was blown away.

Chris and his fellow artists entertained us and brought it down to a personal level with his conversations with the audience, especially the couple seated in the first row who arrived 30 minutes late. His guest artists were world class talents and it's nice to see an established world class artist like Chris make the evening not all about him. I cannot wait until he comes back to Jacksonville.

My husband had a "surprise concert" for me for our Valentine's weekend. I was so happy when we arrived at the Sands Resort in Bethlehem, PA for Chris Botti's concert -- His performance was amazing, he is so personable and gets involved with the audience in a very real way, telling short, interesting stories in between performances and honoring every musician in his band. Chris Botti seems like a very nice guy in addition to being extremely talented.

Again Chris Botti delivers an outstanding musical event. Third time seeing him and always a great show. He consistently surrounds himself with the most amazing talents. Vocalist, violinist, pianist, drummer, bassist, lead guitar, and keyboards--all fantastic in their own right. Every show is a different mix of artists. Just wonderful!

This show had it all, rock, jazz, classical, and lots of funk! From Miles Davis to Burt Bacharach and Hal David's The Look of Love, there was something for everyone. Along with Botti, the show also featured violinist Caroline Campbell, fan favorite Sy Smith on vocals, and we can't forget Billy Kilson on drums! If you missed this one, shame on you!

He was awesome with good sense of humor. Never knew who he was until his concert. I'm Glad I went. Thanks to my friends who introduced me to his music.

It was inspiring to hear Mr. Botti's music and to be introduced to other artists in whom he has invested time and attention. Caroline Campbell is an amazing talent, and Sy Smith has the most charming voice and persona. Thank you, Chris, for introducing us to these two gems.

The most wonderful evening. Beautiful theater and Chris Botti did not disappoint! Can't wait for him to come back!

One of the best concerts have ever been to! I had goosebumps almost the entire time. The seats were great, the sound was amazing and the band was brilliant!

Chris Botti is amazing regardless of the setting but add the Hollywood Bowl on a gorgeous summer night and Chris Isaak and you have an amazing experience. Perfect!

Chris Botti was and always will be amazing.He is a class act. Chris' s band was incredible! The special guests were amazing!. I have been to his other concerts which were amazing as well. Chris Botti and his band his band are a class act! Above all others. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Chris is personable and witty--adds a lot of character to the performance. I enjoyed the violinist and singer as well.

Another wonderful performance by a jazz master! Botti's band is a diverse collection of talented musicians.

Between the music and the venue, this event was incredible! Chris surrounds himself with only the best musicians. Christine Campbell was superb on the violin and Botti never fails to please. This was my first concert at the McCoy Center and the intimacy of the location added to the pleasurable experience.

Chris was smooth,sensual and unforgettable!!!! He was funny very entertaining and played a wonderful variety of songs. Covered past and present!! Happy belated birthday!! Can't wait to see Chris perform again. Next time will be with as many friends I can get together!!!! Just wish the line was not so long for an autograph. A bit chaotic

Chris Botti was incredible. Love his show ! We had a wonderful time . Great band !

I have attended many concerts over the years in intimate as well as outdoor settings. The experience we shared at the Chris Botti concert is on the top of my list as the best ever! The purity of the music from every member of the group was astonishing. Practically every song received a standing ovation and I would have stayed all night if they chose to play. I would also like to pay a special acknowledgement to both the Violinist as vocalist, both were incredible! And lastly I wish thank ticketmaster as I was fortunate to obtain front row center seating. Truly a night to remember!

While driving home from this concert I asked my wife, why was the Columbus Symphony there? You couldn't hear them most of the time. Then in the morning we read this in the Columbus Dispatch: "Chris Botti and his talented band put on a stellar show last night at the Ohio Theatre. There was just one problem \u2014 the Columbus Symphony was also on the bill and could hardly be heard at times."

The concert was just plain awesome. His band is so talented as he himself is but he does not hog the show and lets them strut their stuff. Guitarist and Drummer were just superb as was piano player. Then his two guests, the violinist and vocalist were fantastic. What a great show of talent all the way around. Also, the Sands is a great place to see a concert.

i've been drawn to Botti since i head him play one of my favs: "a thousand kisses deep" and find his trumpet playing to be so wonderful that my world pauses. my wife and i took in his show @ the beautiful montalvo theater and both loved it. i especially liked all the talent ensembled. all of them, so rich in skill (believe in hard work) and heart (to let their talent shine the brightest).

This was an outstanding concert in so many ways...First, the setting couldn't have been better. The outdoor theater was large enough to accommodate the crowd,comfortable and small enough to still be intimate. It was a warm summer night, surrounded by tall trees and a summer sky filled with stars. Second and most importantly, the talent onstage was unbelievable. Chris Botti is a consummate entertainer, very personable, and extremely talented with an incredible range, from classical to jazz. He makes magic with his trumpet. He also surrounds himself with such a talented group of musicians, it's unbelievable. There were also some lovely guest surprises that were frosting on the cake......He is going on tour with Barbara Streisand this next year...If you get a chance to go to one of his concerts....don't miss it!!!

My wife and I have seen Chris 5 or 6 times. Had fun going to the Peabody Opera House for a show and we were especially excited to see Chris, one of our favorite performers. We were quite disappointed. The show, including the song list, jokes, stories, etc were all exactly the same as when we saw him a year ago at Powell Hall. The guest violinist and singer, Lisa Fischer, were even in the same dresses as a year ago. I would have given the show a year ago 5 stars. But we pay good money to see these shows and expect there to be at least an effort to mix it up. Another beef? Where have all of the tunes from the Best of CD gone? So many hits and all we heard were songs from Italia. We'll see him again but really expect him to mix it up and, frankly, kick it up a notch or two!

The beautifully restored Peabody Opera House is a visual delight. The concert could not have been played at a better place. I have been going to Chris Botti concerts since he first played at the St. Louis Jazz Festival at Shaw Park. This was by far the best venue acoustically. He had a good mix of music and new songs/artists. I really enjoyed the evening. He does not disappoint. He has played almost every facility..... The Touhill, The Pageant, etc.....He is friends with Joe Buck which may be why he comes here so much.

Chris and his band (featuring the inimitable Billy Childs and vocalist extraordinaire Lisa Fisher) were positively spectacular! It was an evening well-spent and it's a shame that he wasn't there for two nights instead of one! I only wish Chris would play more of his older Smooth Jazz works like "Eversince We Met", "Midnight Without You", "All the World Envy", "Regroovable" or "Lisa"; although he did play a quick 'n dirty, amped up version of "Indian Summer". All and all, this was a wonderful performance.

Will never forget this night! First fell in love with Chris Botti one night while watching his Boston show on PBS. That was amazing and I have been a fan ever since. Took my 16 year old son to the concert for his birthday, and we both just felt lucky to be there. He got goosebumps on the first song and from that point we felt like the night was magic. When he was able to sit in the third row and be inspired by the pianist, drummer, bass player, guitar player and of course the beautiful violinist and singer, well we thought how perfect the night was. Then he got to go on stage and play the drums. Incredible! I thought he would be on the phone with all his friends the minute we got back in the car, but I think the moment was still with him. Such an inspiring night, one he will never forget. Thank you Chris Botti and your team for changing the world of my teenager!

It is a delight to find an artist, a musician who is able to captivate an audience. I find Chris Botti remarkable, an artist who has the ability to stop all of my chaotic thought, delicately deliver his love and warmth by his unique craft by blowing air into a brass instrument to create a buzzing sound we call a trumpet. I was first introduced to Caroline Campbell's violin performance when she performed with Chris Botti in Phoenix, AZ The Dodge Theater a few years ago. Caroline made the violin cry and she moved me to tears. She is so expressive and confident as well as truly gifted. Lisa Fischer again another sensitive, glowing extension of a human being with a soothing voice that demands your attention. All of the amazingly talented individuals in Chris's band were astonishing and I look forward to attending another performance by Chris Botti and his band members. I have my signed cd from Chris Botti, although I am on a budget, I would have loved to have a signed cd by Caroline Campbell. I truly feel honored to be apart of Chris Botti's performance. Music is healing for me, its necessary in my life. Ticket prices were affordable especially for an individual on a budget, thank you.

I purchased tickets in row 7 to surprise my guy friend and he purchased tickets in row 10 to surprise me. We were therefore able to share this spectacular evening with two other very dear friends. Collectively we shed tears, broke into laughter, recalled past experiences, and went away optimistic about the fortunes of our lives. I saw Chris Botti in Los Angeles earlier this year. That was the most incredible experience (open air theatre) of my life. His stage presence inspires. He enjoys himself, he is proud of his band members, and he is very thoughtful of his audience. I feel even more 'connected' to Chris, knowing he was born 3 days after my first son during the Columbus Day storm, which took the roof off my parents home in Portland, Oregon.

Crystal clear trumpet tone and the southern California coast complement each other perfectly. The audience of about 1,400 at the intimate and upscale venue of Humphrey's By the Bay was treated to two hours of jazz and classical music from the hardest working trumpeter in the industry. Consisting of about half of the tracks from his live album in Boston, Botti also drew from his latest disc, Italia, and even went as far back as 2003's A Thousand Kisses Deep. From the first note of "Ave Maria," until the last note of the encore, "My Funny Valentine," Botti and his backing band showed why they play 300 shows a year. The concert featured everything from spirited banter with the crowd, mixed with a stunning vocal performance by Lisa Fischer and a virtuosic display of rhythm dexterity by drummer Billy Killson. My only complaint is that I wish I had been the 12-year-old boy who was invited onstage to sit in on drums during the encore.

This was the 6th or 7th time I have seen Chris Botti live. His shows always impress and are heart moving. He seems personable and authentic. Humprhrey's is the perfect venue...

This was a fabulous evening all around!! We can't wait to come back......hopefully, we can see another Chris Botti concert at the Cohasset Music Circus again!!!

This being the fourth Chris Botti concert I've seen in the last 2 years, I can honestly say I look forward to the next show. THe band was obviously tired after some travel issues getting in, but they powered through and managed to put on a good show. There is a new singer with the band since my last concert and she was amazing. you want to hear Andrea Bocelli sing Italia? Her name escapes me, but she was great and the closest resemblance you could ask for. I have to admit I am looking forward to a new studio album, I think I'm wearing out my CD's :)

I am his biggest Fan! He is the most talented and beautiful artist that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. His band totally rocks!!!!!

Stunningly beautiful renovated theater - amazing band - Mark Whitfield, Billy Childs, Geoffrey Keezer, Tim Lefebvre and Billy Kilson - brilliant and lovely vocalist Sy Smith and the immensely talented violinst Lucia Micarelli. What a night - never forget it!

I have been to many of his concerts and sets, he never disappoints. His selecton of co-performers harmonize perfectly with the music he chooses for his audience. I close my eyes and I listen to the beauty of his music. The cares and problems of the day ( OF THE WEEK!) disappear. His music sends me somewhere else, somewhere soft and wonderful. Thanks Chris for sharing your gift with us.

Have you ever been to a concert, when you are being transferred into a different dimension? If the answer is NO, you probably never saw Chris Botti AND his amazing band in action. I have been a big fan of his music for years, and have seen him in concerts several times. And every time the same thing happens - incredible sound of Chris' trumpet, his music genius (AND his band members'), and the jazz genre make such a mix of emotions, feelings, and an experience that you don't ever want to end. I don't. That's why I keep going to see him again and again. And you know what - his shows are never the same. There is always something different, new element, new surprise guest...This time it was John Mayer, singing one of F. Sinatra's classics. There was also Sy Smith singing, and Caroline Campbell on violin (in a place of injured Lucia Micarelli). And last and not least - the band members - all talented musicians - Billy Childs on piano, Billy Kilson on drums, Mark Whitfield on guitar. If you are a jazz fan - you have to see Chris Botti. If you are not a jazz fan - you got to see him too. That's another thing that's great about Botti - the ability to interest anyone, no matter what you music interests are. But that's another story...

Well, he didn't bring the house down but he got us on our feet a couple a times.... And very personally played to the audience as if he were at the Blue Note in NYC....A much smaller venue for sure...but still seem to be able to "touch" the audience.... The Back up band was equally amazing...especially the (2) Billie's...and the violinist Ms. Campbell was terrific despite troubles with the sound system...where on (2) occasions Botti stop the music and had the techies fix it...and then started again. But the Drum solo...Best I've seen...From Sandy Nelson to Phil Collins....WOW!!!

What more can I say? I wish the concert went on for another 2 hours. His band was tight and Sy Smith was excellent. She should be Chris' opening act. Showmanship of Chris and his band was also excellent.

Chris Botti is amazing! He is gorgeous, which makes the show even more wonderful. His musical talents are astounding--I so enjoyed watching him play and he really engaged with the audience. The musical guests were GREAT as well---and John Mayer showed up for one of Chris Botti's encore songs! How amazing is that!! I highly recommend seeing Chris Botti in concert and I cannot wait until he returns to Los Angeles again!

This was s sueprise for my mother who loves Chris Botti's music. The show, the venue and the very accommodating and helpful employees at the Paramount made Friday a truly great experience. We all enjoyed it very much. Hopefully Chris will return to town soon again !

Just a fabulous evening of entertainment!!!! I can't wait to see Chris again

Fantastic show. Best yet. Only negative was that the Paramount Theater needs to provide a bit more leg room for the floor seats. Otherwise great show and great sound

Phenomenal. So talented and the musicians that joined him on stage blew us away.

Fantastic show, great guest musicians. Violinist, pianist, singers, band were all amazing!

I have gone to a number of Chris Botti shows . I found this to be one of the best. He was fantastic as was the other performers he had share the stage with him.

I could not say enough how great this show was. Botti's an extraordinary musician backed up by equally talented musicians. his stage presence, connection with audience and how he ingratiates himself was truly memorable.
