Music reviews of Slowing Down the World
Music Review: SLOWING DOWN THE WORLD
Rating: 5 Stars
Slowing Down The World (1999) is definitely a classic from Chris Botti who puts out real music w/ much sultry and jazzy feel to it. The thing I like about him is that he's always sound more relaxed w/o too much vibe 2 it. I think the matter of it is that every jazz artist/lover or trumpet player of course should pick this album. 'Cuz this is one of my favorites to date. Even though I haven't bought it yet, I'ma still purchased it once I get a job or sumthin. Most songs that interest me from this CD are Irresistable Bliss, Drive Time and Why Not (definitely a classic). People called him the Chet Baker of the Trumpet or the next James Dean of Jazz which people might say.
Description of Slowing Down the World
Whether his trumpet is open or muted, Chris Botti is an artist of the subtlest detail, able to draw an emotion with the briefest phrase. Sometimes even a single note--a sudden high, a muffled half valve, or a burred aside in the lower register--can be telling. On Slowing Down the World, he's consciously invoking the quiet moments, creating limpid pools of melody and reflection. That attention to the nuance of mood is apparent in his solo on "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," when he begins with a welling, rising phrase that illuminates the mood created by vocalist Sting. Botti is supported throughout by top-rank musicians like bassist Tony Levin and drummer Peter Erskine, and the London Sessions Orchestra, arranged and conducted by Anna Dudley, creates a plush carpet of sound on four tracks. Bob James contributes his distinctive electric piano lines to "The Open Touch," and Botti sings on Randy Newman's "Same Girl," adding an intimate and plaintive tone that might suggest Chet Baker, who Botti pays homage to on Playing by Heart. --Adam RainsGeneral CDs
