Synopsis

Amazon.com
This is not the typical example of an artist from another genre jumping on the crowded standards-and-ballads bandwagon. When I Fall in Love instead represents an instrumental stylist busting out of a box to find a much more suitable platform for his craft. These tracks are the fruits of an obvious labor of love for everyone from the featured musicians to the arrangers to the engineers. The arrangers, particularly Billy Childs and Gil Goldstein, give Botti's trumpet a broad-brushed orchestral backdrop that allows him to emerge from the swirling strings and bouncy horns with bold strokes of creative improvising. Some tracks are obvious nods to Gil Evans and the lush arrangements of 1970s CTI recordings. Even the guest vocalists, Sting and Paula Cole, let his trumpet sing first before their respective cues on "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" and "What'll I Do." The only blemish here is the obvious attempt at smooth jazz airplay with Sade's "No Ordinary Love." --Mark Ruffin

WOW!

"Soothing and romantic. A perfect addition to any party or romantic dinner for two."
Great music

"It's a great album. I heard from many people that it's good background music but I don't agree. It's far more than that. It's just amazing to listen to. Chris has an impressive control over the trumpet and makes its sound absolutely incredible, smooth and soft.



I heard Chris on a jazz fest and I enjoyed his performance a lot. Now I'm waiting for an album that would be less polished and maybe less romantic but more jazzy and would show all what Chris can do... Still this CD is beautiful and I recommend it to everyone."
Absolutely wonderful!
