Blue Note Jazz Club, one of the world's most iconic
jazz and blues venues based in Greenwich Village, is proud to announce world
renowned trumpeter Chris Botti's milestone 10th Annual Holiday Residency. The
three-week engagement at the club will run Monday, December 15, 2014 through
Sunday, January 4, 2015, with two shows each evening (including Christmas Eve
and New Years Eve performances).
Botti,
described by The Wall Street Journal as "a December institution in the Big
Apple," has called the Blue Note his home every December since 2005. Over
the years the residency has featured special impromptu musical guests, such as
Sting and John Mayer (2011). Celebrities from all walks of the entertainment
business have attended Botti's Blue Note performances, ranging from Mary J
Blige to Paul Haggis.
"Coming
to the Blue Note for as many years as I've been is like coming home," says
Botti. "The best city, the best club, the greatest people."
Reflecting
on Botti's ten-year run, Blue Note Entertainment Group President Steven
Bensusan says, "Chris' annual holiday residency has become one of the
highlights of our venue's story, with a prime focus on loyalty. This is an
engagement that fans regularly look forward to and support each year. It's also
a testament to our relationship and history with Chris. He is truly part of the
Blue Note family. We look forward to celebrating ten great years this
December."

Since
the release of his 2004 critically acclaimed CD When I Fall In Love, Chris
Botti has become the largest-selling American instrumental artist. His success
has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop muisc and his ongoing
association with PBS has led to four #1 jazz albums, as well as multiple Gold,
Platinum and Grammy Awards. Most recently, his latest album Impressions won the
GRAMMY® for Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 2013 55th GRAMMY® Awards.
Performing worldwide and selling more than four million albums, he has found a
form of creative expression that begins in jazz and expands beyond the limits
of any single genre.
Over the
past three decades, Botti has recorded and performed with the best in music,
including Sting, Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Yo-Yo Ma, Michael Bublé, Paul
Simon, Joni Mitchell, John Mayer, Andrea Bocelli, Joshua Bell, Aerosmith's
Steven Tyler and even Frank Sinatra. Hitting the road for as many as 300 days
per year, the trumpeter has also performed with many of the finest symphonies
and at some of the world's most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall and the
Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House and the Real Teatro di San Carlo in
Italy.
Impressions,
Botti's 2012 Columbia Records and Grammy winning release, is the latest in a
stellar parade of albums - including When I Fall In Love (2004), To Love Again:
The Duets (2005), Italia (2007), and the CD/DVD Chris Botti in Boston (2009) -
that has firmly established him as a clarion voice in the American contemporary
music scene. Playing with his uniquely expressive sound and soaring musical
imagination, Botti is joined on the disc by featured artists Andrea Bocelli,
Vince Gill, Herbie Hancock, Mark Knopfler, and David Foster in a warm, intimate
celebration of melodic balladry.
With
Impressions and the albums that preceded it, Chris Botti has thoroughly
established himself as one of the important, innovative figures of the
contemporary music world.
