SUMMARY:Chris Botti
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 7:15pm for a free Italian wine tasting by Pera Wines and an art exhibit by Paul Mango in the lobby! \nSince the release of his 2004 critically acclaimed CD When I Fall In Love\, Chris Botti has become the largest-selling American instrumental artist.  His success has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop music and his ongoing association with PBS has led to four #1 jazz albums\, as well as multiple Gold\, Platinum and Grammy Awards.  Most recently\, his latest album Impressions won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental.  Performing worldwide and selling more than four million albums\, he has found a form of creative expression that begins in jazz and expands beyond the limits of any single genre. \nOver the past three decades\, Botti has recorded and performed with the best in music\, including Sting\, Barbra Streisand\, Tony Bennett\, Lady Gaga\, Josh Groban\, Yo-Yo Ma\, Michael Bublé\, Paul Simon\, Joni Mitchell\, John Mayer\, Andrea Bocelli\, Joshua Bell\, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and even Frank Sinatra. Hitting the road for as many as 300 days per year\, the trumpeter has also performed with many of the finest symphonies and at some of the world’s most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House and the Real Teatro di San Carlo in Italy. \nImpressions\, Botti’s 2012 Columbia Records and Grammy winning release\, is the latest in a stellar parade of albums – including When I Fall In Love (2004)\, To Love Again: The Duets (2005)\, Italia (2007)\, and the CD/DVD Chris Botti in Boston (2009) – that has firmly established him as a clarion voice in the American contemporary music scene. Playing with his uniquely expressive sound and soaring musical imagination\, Botti is joined on the disc by featured artists Andrea Bocelli\, Vince Gill\, Herbie Hancock\, Mark Knopfler\, and David Foster in a warm\, intimate celebration of melodic balladry. \nWith Impressions and the albums that preceded it\, Chris Botti has thoroughly established himself as one of the important\, innovative figures of the contemporary music world. \nPaul Mango is a New Jersey-based photography enthusiast who works full time in the financial services industry in New York City.  Photography serves as an important hobby and creative release for Paul and he enjoys photographing cityscapes\, landscapes and nightscapes.  In addition to photography\, Paul enjoys spending time with his wife and children.  Paul and his family are passionate about the outdoors and each summer they visit different National Parks in order to spend time together\, unplug\, hike and take photographs. \nMoffly Media Evening of Art\, Wine & Jazz Series \n
