CHRIS BOTTI

MINER AUDITORIUM, SFJAZZ CENTER

The world’s top-selling jazz instrumentalist, GRAMMY-winning trumpeter Chris Botti has made his sumptuous clarion sound, fluent phrasing, and evocative sense of space into a distinct musical signature. A masterful musician equally at home in the realms of jazz and pop, the melodious trumpeter is as likely to play the second movement of Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez” as he is Al Green’s grooving “Let’s Stay Together.” He returns to the SFJAZZ Center for nine exciting concerts with his stellar 10-piece band featuring featuring violinist Caroline Campbell, vocalists Sy Smith, Veronica Swift and others.
