Chris Botti January 25, 2009

Trumpeter Chris Botti walks a fine line between the bebop of traditional jazz and the trickling melodies of smooth jazz, offering his fans the best of both worlds. “The fact that Botti is topping the traditional jazz charts and also scoring some airplay on smooth jazz shows proves just how expertly his easily rhythmic, supremely melodic style crosses over,” says Jazz Monthly.
