August 29, 2005
Hot Trumpeter Chris Botti has agreed to take 20 minutes out of his busy touring schedule to do a phone interview to promote his appearance Saturday at the JVC Jazz Festival in Concord....He's excited about a follow-up CD "Still in Love," on Columbia, coming out in October and showcasing a somewhat eclectic lineup of vocalists, including Michael Buble, Gladys Knight, Sting, Jill Scott, Paula Cole and Renee Olstead.
It also features Steven Tyler singing "Smile" with the "giant" London Symphony Orchestra, Botti says. "His vocal performance can match anyone's."
Calling it his "duets" album, he says, "People will be stunned by the non-industry vibe to the record." It seems that his friends — or people he knew through other people — jumped at the chance to play moody instrumental music. "The singers knew the template," he says. "Nobody got diva-ed out." ...
