| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Chris Botti (trumpet); Billy Childs (piano); Christian McBride (bass instrument); Peter Erskine (drums); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion). | | Recording information: Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California. | | 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. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Down Beat (p.70)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith a varied procession of guest vocalists wrapped in Botti's own GQ elegance and transparent trumpet interludes. They hover like smoke rings in languid and lonely whispers..."JazzTimes (p.84)
- "Botti balances the songs' tempos and moods with great care....A wonderfully moody work showing that the Great American Songbook is always open to new interpretations." |

5 of 5 Another Gem in a Large Volume of Work Sunday, July 13, 2008
HJ Carson from Cedar Rapids IA
Mr. Botti can seduce and / or inspire you with his magnificent trumpet performances. The more recent works seem to be the ones that have gotten all the attention and shelf space, but his earlier or lesser-known productions, such as this collection, should not be disregarded. The songs are mostly standards, so often tired and rehashed, but in his case beautifully interpreted for his instrument, orchestration, and often a guest vocalist. The polyphony of the accompaniment is at times ponderous, but his triumphant brass always cuts through even heavy-handed productions, and mingles with the singer or ensemble with a soul of its own. Don't let traditional pieces put you off from enjoying this CD. I haven't been disappointed with a thing he's done. Long life and much success to him. Was this review helpful?
