Chris Botti Night Sessions CD Review
One word describes the CD Night Sessions from Chris Botti... AWESOME!
Refreshingly, Night Sessions was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn?t your favorite style you still can?t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
Smooth Jazz fans will recognize some of the players that have been assembled to play along with Botti on this CD. Artists like Shawn Colvin, Kazu Matsui, Jeff Lorber, and Billy Childs just to name a few.
The CD really grabs your attention right from the very first note of the very first song, Lisa and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song. Which is by the way a very nice closing track.
Overall Night Sessions is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up, as it is most definitely a worthy addition to any Smooth Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Smooth Jazz CD. A collection completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 3 ? Streets Ahead, track 4 ? When I See You, and track 11 ? Through An Open Window.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1, Lisa. It?s a great track!
