Through his singular combination of lush atmospheres and thoughtful improvisations, PBS star trumpeter Chris Botti has earned both critical acclaim and popular appreciation in the realm of contemporary jazz. Italia, Botti’s most recent release, is a suite of songs and music inspired by the romance of Italy. “Italia is all about mood, atmosphere and evocation whether it's an ageless "Ave Maria," a haunting Morricone theme from "Once Upon a Time in America," a genial duet with Dean Martin (based on a 1957 recording of "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face"), Puccini's majestic aria "Nessun Dorma" or a pop collaboration with tenor Andrea Bocelli on the title track.” – The New York Times
