Botti Was Fabulous at Harrahs Atlantic City!

Favorite moment: Every last bit of the show ... the venue acoustics, the special guests, the band solos, and most of all the spectacular trumpet playing by Mr. Botti @

Opening act(s): Chris came right out at the very beginning with the band and never left till after the last note was played in an awesome encore! @

Chris Botti and his entourage were absolutely without question on top of their game ... the band, special guests, and Mr. Botti were fantabulous to watch and enjoy! His trumpet riffs and the acoustics at the venue were unbelieveably crisp and spot on! Every song he played was enjoyable and full of emotion throughout the almost 2 hour concert! We bought the DVD/CD combo and he was gracious enough to autograph items after the show ... what a special Valentine's Day treat! Cheers!

This was even better than Chris' amazing performance a year ago. He simply can play the trumpet with such sounds like few could ever duplicate. His mix of the American Songbook and Jazz is very pleasant to the ears. He has surrounded himself with the best musicians. Billy Childs is a great pianist. Mark Whitfield is simply amazing on the guitar and Billy Kilson can play drums like no one else in a long, long time. These musicians deserve all of the Grammys they have won and probably more.

Also, the two guests were extraordinarily great. One, whose name I have unfortunately forgotten, had a vocal range of many octaves. She was great. The other, is the incredible violinist, Lucia Micarelli. She brought tears to my wife's and my eyes when she accompanied Chris on the hauntingly gorgeous "Emmanuel." It is the greatest piece of violin playing that I have ever heard. We own several CDs of Botti's and his performance last Friday night clearly shows why.

Like all previous performances, Chris delivers. His interaction with the audience and fellow performers is great. I've always admired how Chris is able to share the stage with such talented musicians and seems to genuinely enjoy their performances. The show was a perfect mix of new material and old favorites - played with a twist to keep them sounding fresh.

My husband and I have been a fan for several years and we invited other family to attend this event. Wonderful concert hall and fabulous acoustics. Chris Botti is an outstanding musician and he surrounded himself with several other outstanding and amazing musicians. Each a 'star' in their own right. If I could have changed one thing? It would be to hear more of his older songs as well. I am more of a Contemporary Jazz fan as opposed to the more technical style of Miles Davis. But, to watch and listen to the stunning expertise and talent of Chris Botti and his 'band' was a real experience and gift.

This may have been the best concert we've seen in Columbus. We love Botti, have enjoyed his music for years--this was our first live concert. He is a generous performer, surrounding himself with a phenomenal ensemble of singers and musicians he is obviously excited to be with and share; he is generous with and sensitive to the audience as well. During part of the show, he and the jazz singer with him stepped down off the stage into the audience. Instantly transformed the big, beautiful Ohio theater into what felt like an intimate venue. Also, he asked if there were young people in the audience who played instruments--then brought two of them from the balcony down to the front row to sit in the empty seats there. He and everyone with him was just terrific!

Chris Botti was unbelievable, of course. But what an ensemble he brings along. The breathtaking vocals of Sy Smith, the "bad-ass" drummer, the "prowess" of the pianist. All were just a huge extra bang for the buck!

The Tilles center is perfect for this type of event. Surprisingly comfortable seating.

Solid performance! First time Jazz w/ Symphony Orchestra experience for me. Engaging to the audience as well as up and coming youth muscians.
The Ohio Theatre is exceptional. The attendance speaks for itself - packed!

It was such a fantastic concert! I really enjoyed they way the Symphony complimented the jazz music. I also thought it was really neat that when there were 4 open seats in the front of the theater Botti chose to turn the house lights up and look for 4 young musicians to bring to the front for the rest of the concert. He truly understands the need for music and arts in the younger generations.

Not many times in life can you simply slide down into your seat and be transported to a place where you find your worries disappearing and you lose yourself in the music!! I found myself immersed in the moment and couldn't have enjoyed it more!! I would recommend an evening with Chris Botti every time it's possible!! Absolutely unforgettable!!

It was worth the 2 hour ride from upstate New York to see this show. It was everything I imagined it would be and more. Every musician in his band is unbelievably talented. And Chris Botti just doesn't disappoint. So talented and such a personable guy. And he always seems to have the perfect people to accompany him. The violinist was mesmerizing and the vocalist spectacular. I can't wait to see one of his shows again.
