Chris Botti learned a lot from Bill Adam when he was in college.

Funny thing is that I just don't get Chris Botti. He has a wonderful tone but I find his playing to be non-fluid. He has a hard time putting two musical thoughts back to back. When you hear him live he plays a phrase, stops, then plays a totally non-related phrase, stops, and then plays another totally non-related phrase. There is no fluidity to his playing at all.

I for one think the guy has a great manager who has convinced people he is a great player. I can find you 20 guys in my own city that will play with comparable tone quality and blow him away in every other facet of trumpet playing.

If I was younger, good looking, and sexy, I would wipe chris Botti off the map. Put Chris Botti behind a curtain with thousands of people and he's in trouble as a trumpet player.
