Music reviews of The Very Best of Chris Botti
Music Review: uninspiring and mechanical noises
Rating: 1 Stars
this is the third Chris Botti CD i purchased and listened to. i think Botti is a great trumpeter. on PBS' Legend of Jazz series, his performance with the PBS house band was amazingly good. i never heard or saw him perform in pure jazz setting and may be Botti was awared that the PBS audience is quite jazz sophisticated thus he returned to the root of jazz and did a serious jazz rendition. that performance was the BEST of everything i heard from Botti. the trio really helped bringing about Botti's Jazz ability. sadly, in all his CDs, including this one, Botti applied the mechanical background "noise" (uninspiring back up) and it is totally artificial, lack of improvization and lack of swing. without improvisation and swing, there is no Jazz. the PBS performance proved to me that Botti has all the capacity of a jazz artist but he is making pop to earn his mercedes.
i hope Botti build on from his PBS appearance and make a CD with a conventional trio setting. no more mechanical electronic beat machine, artificial arrangement and also, DROP THE SYNTHEZISER noise at the back. let the trumpet do the talking, Count Basie proved that silence is the best and most difficult music to play. let the improvisation element go, let it swing a bit more.
fantastic artist but extremely disappointing "jazz" production. 1 star.
