Chris Botti is a trumpeter, entertainer/raconteur and bandleader and he'll perform at UPAC in Kingston, New York on March 29.
He’s the complete package: a dazzling Grammy winning trumpeter at home in everything from jazz to pop to rock, a brilliant bandleader who lets his killer band shine, and a born showman whose joy at being onstage is infectious. Botti has amassed a spectacular variety of honors, including multiple Gold and Platinum albums, to become the nation’s largest selling instrumental artist.
Over the past three decades, Botti has recorded and performed with the best in music, including Sting, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, 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.
Botti will return to the region on May 2 when he'll play Troy Savings Bank Music Hall as part of the Bridge Jazz Series.
