Chris Botti - Night Sessions / Live in Concert - Sony Music Entertainment

December 3, 2001. Acclaimed trumpeter Chris Botti and his band take to the stage at the historic El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles for an evening of evocative and sensual music to celebrate the release of Botti's Columbia Records debut, "Night Sessions".

Chris and his band - Shane Fontayne on guitar, Harvey Jones on keyboards, Jon Ossman on bass, Karen Teperberg on drums, and Everett Bradley on percussion (with special guest Jason Rebello sitting in on keys on "Why Not" and "Moon Over Bourbon Street") - are tight and in the groove as they burn through their set. But as if that weren't enough, several surprise guests are in the audience.

As a former member and featured soloist in Sting's band, Chris invites the Grammy Award-winning superstar on stage for two show-stopping numbers - including Sting's own "Moon Over Bourbon Street".

Another concert highlight is the performance of Grammy Award-winning vocalist Shawn Colvin on "The Fact About Jimmy" and the Sting-penned "All Would Envy".

On the El Rey show, The Los Angeles times reports, "Trumpeter Chris Botti's performance... was an impressive step forward for a performer who seems to possess all the qualities of a breakout musical star. Visually charismatic, musically engaging, appealingly personable..."
