The Smoothest Of All Smooth Jazz January 15, 2005 42 out of 43 found this review helpful
One of the many things I love about Amazon.com is their fabulous recommendations and this CD is one of those and never did they go wrong with their endless suggestions. This CD in its entirety is simply mesmerizing with Chris Botti's smooth, elegant and evocative covers of "Indian Summer," "Back Into My Heart," "My Funny Valentine," the title track "A Thousand Kisses Deep" and my all-time favorite Bacharach/David composition "The Look Of Love" with vocals by Chantal Kreviazuk. These beautiful melodies are so intoxicating that you won't be satisfied with a single listen and it would make you want to listen over and over again.
Mr. Botti's playing is reminiscent of Chet Baker's cool, mellow and captivating style in his version of Rodgers and Hart's "My Funny Valentine." This young and gifted trumpet player is also a very talented composer and he co-wrote five of the eleven tracks in this CD, most notably "Back Into My Heart" and "Ever Since We Met."
This is my first Chris Botti CD, which was #3 on the Top Contemporary Jazz Chart in 2003, and definitely will not be the last.
WHAT A SENSUAL AND MOVING SOUND December 29, 2003 35 out of 36 found this review helpful
Oh my! I had to actually stop what I was doing and just absorb every sound that was coming out of my cd player. Chris Botti has done it again. I have yet to be disappointed with anything he has every put out and I hope I never have that sensation. First Chris gives off some deliciously warm vibes with Indian Summer. Then he oozes sexuality with the tenderly kissed Do It In Luxury. Now Chris chimes in with his version of the Burt Bacharach classic The Look of Love. This version is sexier than Diana Krall's. Then he gently caresses the audio receptors with a sweet and loving A Thousand Kisses Deep. Now Chris (with Matthew Gerard and Bridge Benenate) puts pen to paper and writes the ever so gentle "dedication to the one I love" love song: Ever Since We Met. For a more neuvo jazzy feel, Chris swings it on Back Into My Heart. Time to slow things down just a bit with the lovely My Funny Valentine. The percussion infused The Last Three Minutes is a nice and slight change of pace. It reminds me of walking/strutting the streets while the mind goes elsewhere. If I Could requires the following: a hot cup of cappuccino, a fire in hearth and someone to cozy up to. Chris is a seriously talented man with a great future ahead of him. A Thousand Kisses Deep is a grand look into the soul and heart of such a talented young man.
My first instrumental CD purchase December 27, 2004 14 out of 16 found this review helpful
I discovered Chris Botti's music while doing a search to download 'My Funny Valentine'. Amazon's search led me to Botti's wonderful trumpet rendention that I fell in love with. So much so, that I bought the CD. My first ever!
You will enjoy listening to this CD while driving home after a long day, cooking a lovely dinner, cuddled by the fire or drifting off to sleep.
Young man with a horn November 15, 2003 13 out of 15 found this review helpful
A very nice introduction to Chris Botti for those who haven't yet discovered his music. "Indian Summer" is currently in heavy rotation on CD 101.9 FM, a local light-jazz station. The CD features worthy covers of "My Funny Valentine" and "The Look of Love". I met Chris a few years ago at a BLUE Nights show (Bruford-Levin), which is recommended if you like music with a rough edge. A pleasant, versatile and true artist who deserves your attention.
Bought it - Heard it - Loved it - SAW Chris Botti LIVE! April 1, 2004 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
I first saw Chris Botti performing with Sting on the DVD "All This Time" recorded in Tuscany & there was something about him that really stood out... I had no idea that he had already a couple of solo cd's behind him. I later saw him make a couple of special appearances on the Caroline Rhea Show (those few appearances lead to 5 months) & I thought "this man has talent, class & I have never heard someone play the trumpet as smooth & sensual as Mr. Botti -- no lyrics needed to understand the messages behind the music notes!!! I then bought his Christmas CD 'December, followed by 'Night Sessions' & just fell in love with his music! Then, March 20th/2004 comes around, Sting is performing at Massey Hall in Toronto & I was pleasantly surprised when Chris Botti opened for him, as no one really knew who it was going to be. Nearly jumped out of the balcony when they announced his name -- lol -- what a treat -- HE WAS SPECTACULAR & his band is great as well. If you ever have a chance to see him LIVE... go for it!! I never knew the trumpet could be such a sensual & smooth instrument! Not to mention how kind & humble he was during the intermission when he was signing cd's for the fans -- that's when I bought his latest "A Thousand Kisses Deep" & had him sign it -- told him he should do more Canadian venues & that I only watched the Caroline Rhea show to hear him!! lol And I thought... this man is going to HUGE! I don't understand why his record company is not promoting him to the MAX -- he has been touring since 1995 as a solo artist (mainly US venues, with the exception of touring worldwide with Sting). It's time to promote Chris outside of the US!! I'm very much enjoying "A Thousand Kisses Deep" as much as "Night Sessions". This CD has been on my CD player since that evening -- I've caught the Botti fever & i'm spreading it around... Keep the music coming, Chris Botti -- you have quite the gift!
