Chris Botti To Love Again Smooth Jazz Music CD Review
The exceptionally talented Smooth Jazz artist Chris Botti has released his CD entitled To Love Again. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Chris Botti fans, and Smooth Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of To Love Again Chris Botti's artistic excellence is on full display as he has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be his best work to date.
To Love Again kicks off with a great track, Embraceable You, that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Chris Botti's most impressive releases ever.
Overall To Love Again is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Smooth Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Smooth Jazz CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - What Are You Doing With The Rest Of Your Life?, track 4 - Let There Be Love, and track 11 - Pennies From Heaven.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 12, Here's That Rainy Day. Great track!
