| | Album Notes and Credits | Notes & Personnel Info |  | The companion DVD includes four audio bonus tracks: |  | "If I Loved You" (featuring Paula Cole) |  | Emmanuel |  | Flamenco Sketches |  | Smoke Gets In Your Eyes |  | Personnel: Chris Botti (trumpet); James Harrah (guitar); Dean Parks (acoustic guitar); Shane Fontayne (electric guitar); Tom Scott (soprano saxophone); David Foster , Randy Waldman, Billy Childs (piano); Gil Goldstein (Fender Rhodes piano); Christian McBride, James Genus, Jimmy Johnson , Brian Bromberg (bass guitar); Billy Kilson, Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Paul Clarvis (percussion); Jochem Van Der Saag (programming); Orchestra Of St. John's Choir (background vocals). |  | Additional personnel: Dean Martin, Andrea Bocelli, Paula Cole. |  | On this 2007 album, romance-obsessed trumpeter Chris Botti looks to Italy for inspiration. A set of swooning smooth-jazz tunes, ITALIA features a number of guest vocalists, including Andrea Bocelli (on the gentle title track) and Paula Cole (a spare, elegant version of "The Very Thought of You"), along with the late Dean Martin, whose unmistakable croon turns up on a lightly swinging rendition of "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face." Botti shines the brightest, however, on instrumental pieces, most notably his warm, laid-back takes on two classic numbers by revered Italian composer Ennio Morricone, "Deborah's Theme" (from ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA) and "Gabriela's Oboe" (from THE MISSION). | Producer: Bobby Colomby | Musical Guests |  | Dean Martin |  | Paula Cole |  | Andrea Bocelli |  | Brian Bromberg |
