Notes & Personnel Info |  | This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other. | | Personnel: Chris Botti (trumpet); Heitor Pereira (guitar); Billy Childs (piano); Richard Cottle (Hammond b-3 organ); Christian McBride (bass instrument); Arnie Somogyi (bass guitar); Vinnie Colaiuta, Billy Kilson (drums); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion); Brian Bromberg. | | Recording information: Capitol Studios, Los Angeles, California (2005). | | Ensemble: London Session Orchestra. | | As its title implies, TO LOVE AGAIN is essentially a sequel to trumpeter Chris Botti's well received 2004 outing, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE. In fact, two guest vocalists from the earlier album, Sting and Paula Cole, appear again, with Sting lending his distinctive voice to the lilting "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" and Cole accompanying Botti on the gentle "My One and Only Love." Among the many other guest performers, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler appears on the lush, string-laden "Smile," an odd yet remarkably suitable departure for the raspy-voiced frontman. Despite the added star power, the record is still Botti's show, as he reminds listeners with his smooth, atmospheric Chet Baker-inspired horn lines, particularly on the gently floating "Embraceable You" and the romantic title track. |
