Timeline

1962

Christopher Stephen Botti (born October 12, 1962) is an American trumpeter and composer.

1981

In 1981, he was selected as a member of McDonald's All American High School Jazz Band, which marked his first Carnegie Hall performance.

At the age of 17, he ended up at Mount Hood Community College in Gresham, Oregon, by convincing his high school to allow him to fulfill his remaining senior year credits there.

Chris set his class schedule so that he could also play at Portland clubs in the evening.

Mount Hood's program was headed by Larry McVey, whose band had come to be a proving ground and regular stop for Stan Kenton and Mel Tormé when they were looking for new players.

It was here Botti played alongside his friend, trombonist and future Academy Award nominated filmmaker, Todd Field.

After graduating from Crescent Valley High School, Botti studied under jazz educator David Baker and trumpet professor Bill Adam at the Indiana University School of Music.

Botti was also the recipient of two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts which allowed him to study with trumpeter Woody Shaw and saxophonist George Coleman during two consecutive summer breaks.

Botti left Indiana University during his senior year for short touring stints with Frank Sinatra and Buddy Rich.

1985

In 1985, he moved to New York City to hone his craft as a studio musician.

1990

In 1990, he began a decade long touring and recording relationship with Paul Simon which broadened his exposure to other singers.

During that period, he also performed/recorded with Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Bette Midler, Joni Mitchell, Natalie Merchant, Scritti Politti, Roger Daltrey and others.

In the late 1990s, Botti was a member of Bruford Levin Upper Extremities, a group exploring a more experimental, jazz fusion-oriented sound than his solo records.

1991

On August 15, 1991, Botti performed with Paul Simon in New York's Central Park as part of The Rhythm of the Saints tour.

The performance was commercially released as the Concert in the Park CD.

While on tour with Simon, he met saxophonist Michael Brecker, which led to Botti co-producing a track on the Brecker Brothers' Out of the Loop titled "Evocations".

1995

Botti's solo debut, First Wish, was released in 1995; his second effort, Midnight Without You, which included a collaboration with Blue Nile vocalist Paul Buchanan, appeared in 1997.

1996

Botti composed the score and recorded a soundtrack for the 1996 film Caught.

1999

These were followed by Slowing Down the World in 1999, which included vocal contributions from Sting and Jonatha Brooke (also on the Midnight Without You release).

Starting in 1999, Botti toured with Sting as a featured soloist in the Brand New Day tour.

2001

Coming to prominence with the 2001 recording of his Night Sessions album, Botti established a reputation as a versatile musician in both jazz and pop music for his ability to fuse both styles together.

Botti was born in Portland, Oregon, and raised in Corvallis, although he also spent two years of his childhood in Italy.

His earliest musical influence was his mother, a classically trained pianist and part-time piano teacher.

He started playing the trumpet at nine years old, and committed to the instrument at age 12 when he heard Miles Davis play "My Funny Valentine".

The two-year run culminated in All This Time, a CD/DVD-taping and webcast performance from Sting's estate in Tuscany on September 11, 2001.

Botti says his close friendship with Sting was an important development in his career.

Botti was introduced to Columbia by Bobby Colomby, drummer and founding member of Blood, Sweat & Tears, who went on to become his producer and manager.

Botti's first Columbia release was Night Sessions in 2001.

2002

This was followed in 2002 by December, a holiday album, which included an original composition by Richard Marx.

The project represented the only time Botti has performed vocals on two tracks.

2003

A Thousand Kisses Deep, was released in 2003 and contained a group of originals and covers that accent Botti's crossover appeal as both a jazz and pop musician.

2004

When I Fall in Love followed in 2004, which featured a more traditional sound than its predecessor.

2005

To Love Again: The Duets, released in 2005, continued where the previous album left off with more lush orchestral jazz via the London Session Orchestra, this time showcasing guest vocalists — as well as a handful of instrumental tracks.

In May 2005, Botti was invited to perform at Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball weekend honoring her African American heroines.

2006

In 2006, Billy Childs, Gil Goldstein & Heitor Pereira won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s): "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" (Chris Botti & Sting) from Botti's album To Love Again – The Duets.

2006 also marked his first PBS collaboration, Chris Botti Live: With Orchestra and Special Guests, released in early 2006.

The CD and platinum-certified DVD included duets with Sting, Burt Bacharach, Gladys Knight, Jill Scott and Renee Olstead.

2008

He was also nominated in 2008 for his album Italia and received three nominations in 2010 for the live album Chris Botti in Boston.

Four of his albums have reached the No. 1 position on the Billboard jazz albums chart.

2013

In 2013, Botti won the Grammy Award in the Best Pop Instrumental Album category, for the album Impressions.
