简介:
近年炙手可热的爵士乐手，当要数小号手 Chris Botti，上两张专辑 When I Fall In Love 及 To Love Again: The Duets 都在 Billboard 取下不错的成绩，尤其这两张专辑都请来不少乐坛猛将合作，于是在 2005年12月就干脆把两个 Sessions 在Los Angeles 的 Wilshire Theatre 来个现场真人版，并由美国 PBS 电视台转播。
其实说 Chris Botti 很红，又说不过，不过这两年他的名气却越来越大，他不算俊帅，唱片公司却把他包装为一个极具才华而又性感的帅哥，在一切讲求高格调的 Jazz Music Scene，多多少少会成为有利的因素，加上 Chris 在当 Musician 时与许多巨星均曾合作，于是现今他们都乐意助他一把，使他越来越有群星拱照之势。

to love again - album reviews
Trumpeter Chris Botti's To Love Again: The Duets picks up where his stellar 2004 release When I Fall in Love leaves off, with more gorgeously lush and heartfelt orchestral jazz via the London Session Orchestra. This time showcasing guest vocalists -- as well as a handful of instrumental tracks -- Botti takes an even more classicist approach than before and once again brings to mind such iconic jazz albums as Clifford Brown with Strings and Miles Davis' Porgy and Bess. Largely known as a smooth jazz artist with a sweet trumpet tone, it wasn't until When I Fall in Love that Botti dropped the smooth jazz synthesizers and pop-oriented compositions in favor of Gil Evans-style jazz orchestrations and an acoustic backing quartet. Subsequently, Botti made the best album of his career and didn't sacrifice any of his own laid-back smooth jazz style. In fact, having long been compared to trumpeters Chet Baker and Miles Davis for both his minimalist improvisational style and matinee idol image, this move toward more straight-ahead jazz is actually a better fit. To Love Again does nothing if not reinforce this opinion and finds Botti seeming even more relaxed and in his element. This is no more true than on the romantically melancholy lead-off track "Embraceable You," which finds Botti's horn weeping and sighing over the George Gershwin standard. The same can be said of his work with Sting on the '60s classic "What Are You Doing for the Rest of Your Life." In fact, with such a phenomenal cadre of singers -- including Michael Buble, Paula Cole, Gladys Knight and others performing such standards as "Let There Be Love" and "Lover Man" -- there really isn't a bad track. Part of the brilliance of the album is that, while it is classicist in tone, many of the vocalists come from the pop world and give the songs a contemporary spin that rubs nicely against Gil Goldstein and Jeremy Lubbock's stylishly old-school arrangements. It also doesn't hurt that Botti is working with such phenomenal jazz talents as pianist Billy Childs, bassists Robert Hurst and Christian McBride, drummer Billy Kilson, guitarist Anthony Wilson and others. That alone makes the few instrumental tracks on To Love Again some of the standout moments on an album as much about vocals as it is about Botti's own creative "voice." ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
隶属于哥伦比亚唱片公司的Chris Botti可能不仅仅在爵士领域，而在美国所有年轻一代器乐演奏的音乐家当中长相都算是最好的了。但是他的成功绝大部分还是因为他在音乐方面的成就，在2001年Chris Botti发行的唱片《Night Sessions》的销量超过百万。 Chris Botti，小号手，人虽然年轻音乐资历却已十分丰富。十岁开始演奏，高中时开始了表演的职业生涯。早期曾与萨克斯风手George Coleman、小号手Woody Shaw等爵士乐传奇人物合作。这些人的音乐风格经常是剑走偏锋，而Chris Botti在这段期间的收获反映在他演奏时不温不火的声调与天马行空的创意上。随后Chris Botti转战流行音乐圈。受过爵士乐的洗礼，他不甘生涯仅止于泡泡糖般的流行声乐。他合作的对象均为“言之有物”的流行乐坛大将，如Bob Dylan、Aretha Franklin、Paul Simon和Sting等角色。1990年开始，他成为著名的流行巨星Paul Simon巡回演唱会的乐团成员。 1994年为融合爵士乐团所制作的《Out Of The Loop》专辑获得一座格莱美奖。之后，Chris Botti除了为流行乐手伴奏之外，也组织自己的乐团，一曲“Like I Do Now”堂堂进入了Billboard杂志当代爵士乐排行榜，第二张《Midnight Without You》也是炙手可热的轰动唱片。

Chris Botti初出道时我对他的音乐风格总觉有点含糊的印象，他玩的是Pop？是Crossover Jazz？抑或Jazz Pop？因为他曾与很多流行、民谣、摇滚乐界人物如Bob Dylan、Paul Simon、Sting、Aretha Franklin、Thomas Dolby....有过合作，又曾为主流爵士色士风大师George Coleman及Neo Bop的Trumpet手Woody Shaw当过伴奏，他吹奏起来很能闪烁合作主角该类音乐的神采，觉得他技巧很高超，但就一直没预料他真会过界全身投入玩爵士乐。直至95年他推出其首张个人大碟《First Wish》，我才省悟：啊！原来这位一直潜伏在众流行、民谣、摇滚乐、主流爵士群中的Trumpet手，是一名Smooth Jazz的“卧底”！
打从《First Wish》开始，Chris Botti就正式展开其个人音乐生涯，正式定位玩奏Smooth Jazz和Crossover Jazz，是一位不折不扣的白人爵士乐手。由于他的Trumpet的音色取向很幼细而优雅，句子很暖、冷静而慵懒，手法细腻，但又一点不“黑”，是相当中产白人那类型光滑亮丽气息，故很快就在Smooth Jazz阵营打出名堂，接着的作品如《Midnight Without You》(97)、《Slowing Down the World》(99)、《Night Sessions》(01)、《December》(03)、《When I Fall in Love》(04)及去年的《To Love Again: The Duets》，均在爵士乐圈取得颇高评价，尤其《When I Fall in Love》和《To Love Again: The Duets》两张作品，更被誉为Smooth Jazz的5星级杰作。
综观八张作品的结构、形式与手法，感觉Chris Botti的音乐总带少许忧郁气质，有时阴冷得来骨子里又有种柔美的暖意，令人听来有种宁谧、安抚的舒怀，是由心底里松缓了下来，情绪不断的纾缓和扩散，很能动人五内，是一位新一代Smooth Jazz、Crossover Jazz杰出的Trumpet手，前途无可限量。他今次应康文署之邀来港演出就带了一直合作的键琴手Billy Childs和鼓手Billy Kilson来伴奏，我对Billy Childs尤其具好感，他本身已是一位独当一面的Post Bop琴手，水准一流！曾与很多一级爵士大师如Branford Marsalis、Bobby Hutcherson、Freddie Hubbard、Allan Holdsworth (Fusion、Jazz Rock)、Eddie Daniels合作过，颇受赞誉。而结他手则邀来大名鼎鼎的黑人骚灵爵士乐 (Soul Jazz) 结他手Mark Whitfield合作演出，此君深受George Benson影响，却有独特而青出于蓝的技巧，相信他与Chris Botti今次在台上定会有不少火花四溅的场面出现。
