"That's because the immensely talented trumpeter who is billed as the world's top-selling jazz instrumentalist is setting up shop at SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco for nine shows in just seven days during the first full week of January. Botti plays one show per night at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 5-9. He then pulls double duty the next two days, with gigs at 3 and 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 10 and 3 and 7 p.m. on Jan. 11."
"He's a wonderful player especially on those beautiful ballad numbers with a tone that can melt hearts, bring tears to eyes and cause pulses to race. And he's certainly got an amazing resume, having honed his art backing such legends as Frank Sinatra, Buddy Rich, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Sting before becoming an A-lister in his own right. Botti is known for such acclaimed albums as 2009's Live in Boston and 2012's Impressions,"
