简介
◎ 史汀Sting、保罗赛门、巴布狄伦偏爱指定乐手 ◎ 美国脱口秀名主持人欧普拉强力推荐之师奶杀手 ◎ 自查特贝克Chet Baker后最受乐坛注目的白人小号手 ◎ 恣意游走爵士与流行之间的新生代小号乐手 ◎ 九位乐坛巨星再度跨刀演出 史汀、麦可布雷、宝拉寇儿、罗莎芭苏丝、史蒂芬泰勒、吉儿史考特、Paul Buchanan、Gladys Knight、Renee Olstead等 ◎ All Music Guide给予四颗半极高评价 ◎ 《What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life》获得2005年葛莱美奖最佳器乐改编曲奖 ◎ 发行首周即冲上告示牌排行榜Billboard Top 20 第18名 ◎ 占据Billboard 爵士榜前五名 多周不下 克里斯．伯堤(Chris Botti)，小号手，人年轻音乐资历却已十分丰富。十岁开始演奏，高中时开始职业生涯；生涯早期曾与萨克斯风手George Coleman、小号手Woody Shaw等爵士乐传奇人物合作。这些人的音乐常剑走偏锋，伯堤在这段期间的收获反映在他演奏时不温不火的声调与天马行空的创意。随后克里斯．伯堤转战流行音乐圈。受过爵士乐的洗礼，克里斯．伯堤不甘生涯仅止于泡泡糖般的流行声响，合作的对象均为「言之有物」的流行乐坛大将；如巴布狄伦Bob Dylan、艾瑞莎法兰克林Aretha Franklin、保罗赛门Paul Simon与史汀Sting等角色。从他曾合作过的对象，听者即使还不认识他，也应可以从中建立起某种「信任」，因为克里斯伯堤不像是会随便玩音乐的泛泛之辈。 这张专辑延续克里斯．伯堤一贯浪漫曲目与沉稳的音色，收录了多首爵士标准经典曲目，更邀请了九位乐坛巨星共同跨刀演出，在美国一推出不但获得销售好成绩，在排行榜上更高据爵士榜前五名不下，也奠定了克里斯．伯堤在爵士小号界不坠的地位! by Matt Collar Trumpeter Chris Botti's To Love Again: The Duets picks up where his stellar 2004 release When I Fall in Love leaves off, with more gorgeously lush and heartfelt orchestral jazz via the London Session Orchestra. This time showcasing guest vocalists -- as well as a handful of instrumental tracks -- Botti takes an even more classicist approach than before and once again brings to mind such iconic jazz albums as Clifford Brown with Strings and Miles Davis' Porgy and Bess. Largely known as a smooth jazz artist with a sweet trumpet tone, it wasn't until When I Fall in Love that Botti dropped the smooth jazz synthesizers and pop-oriented compositions in favor of Gil Evans-style jazz orchestrations and an acoustic backing quartet. Subsequently, Botti made the best album of his career and didn't sacrifice any of his own laid-back smooth jazz style. In fact, having long been compared to trumpeters Chet Baker and Miles Davis for both his minimalist improvisational style and matinee idol image, this move toward more straight-ahead jazz is actually a better fit. To Love Again does nothing if not reinforce this opinion and finds Botti seeming even more relaxed and in his element. This is no more true than on the romantically melancholy lead-off track "Embraceable You," which finds Botti's horn weeping and sighing over the George Gershwin standard. The same can be said of his work with Sting on the '60s classic "What Are You Doing for the Rest of Your Life." In fact, with such a phenomenal cadre of singers -- including Michael Bubl , Paula Cole, Gladys Knight and others performing such standards as "Let There Be Love" and "Lover Man" -- there really isn't a bad track. Part of the brilliance of the album is that, while it is classicist in tone, many of the vocalists come from the pop world and give the songs a contemporary spin that rubs nicely against Gil Goldstein and Jeremy Lubbock's stylishly old-school arrangements. It also doesn't hurt that Botti is working with such phenomenal jazz talents as pianist Billy Childs, bassists Robert Hurst and Christian McBride, drummer Billy Kilson, guitarist Anthony Wilson and others. That alone makes the few instrumental tracks on To Love Again some of the standout moments on an album as much about vocals as it is about Botti's own creative "voice."
