| Featuring guest vocal performances from Paula Cole ("What'll I Do" & "How Love Should Be") and Sting ("La Belle Dame Sans Regrets"), among others, When I Fall In Love reunites Botti with legendary producer/musician Bobby Colomby, who helmed Botti's 2002 seasonal collection, December. Botti is accompanied by the London Session Orchestra on all but one of the new album's tracks and the result is a lush and sultry sojourn into the very heart of romance. When I Fall In Love is mixed by the multiple Grammy-winning engineer Al Schmitt.
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel include: Chris Botti (vocals, trumpet); Paula Cole, Sting (vocals); Dean Parks, Dominic Miller, Shane Fontayne (guitar); Gil Goldstein (accordion); Greg Phillinganes (piano, keyboards); Billy Childs (piano); Jeff Lorber (keyboard); Brian Bromberg (bass instrument); Billy Kilson, Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion). | | Recording information: Capitol Studios, Los Angeles, California; Avatar Studios, New York, New York; JHL, Los Angeles, CA. | | Although the most popular contemporary jazz tends to fall into the "lite" category, trumpeter Chris Botti avoids painting himself into this corner by sticking with an approach more reminiscent of Chet Baker. For his 2004 album, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE, Botti takes it a step further by employing the London Session Orchestra to provide him with lush accompaniment on a program predominantly made up of standards. The Oregon native adds further layers to the album's sound by calling on singer Paula Cole, whose burnished vocals provide a fine foil on a brush-stroked version of Irving Berlin's "What'll I Do?" and "How Love Should Be," with its subtle mix of piano and strings. | | Along with exquisite takes on Rodgers & Hart ("My Romance") and the Gershwins ("Someone to Watch Over Me"), Botti also shows a knack for the cinematic nuance of Ennio Morricone ("Cinema Paradiso") and the pop-jazz of Sade ("No Ordinary Love"). The handsome horn player even ropes old employer Sting and bandmates Dominic Miller and Vinnie Colaiuta into lending their talents on the samba-flavored "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" (composed by Sting and Miller). With its dusky mood, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE serves as the perfect soundtrack for a late-night cocktail party or a romantic evening by the fireplace. |

| | Artist Overview | | Chris Botti rose to fame as a crackerjack session and touring trumpeter for the likes of Sting, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon, and Natalie Merchant. A trained jazz musician, Botti's solo albums evoke a cool-jazz persona similar to Chet Baker, while his use of superstar guest-vocalists ensures Botti a place in the pop charts. Botti released TO LOVE AGAIN in 2005, a sequel to his popular 2004 duets album WHEN I FALL IN LOVE. |
