艺人资料

克里斯•波提，1962年10月12日生于美国俄勒冈州的波特兰，小号手，隶属于哥伦比亚唱片公司。

Chris Botti可能不仅仅在爵士领域，而在美国所有年轻一代器乐演奏的音乐家当中长相都算是最好的了。但是他的成功绝大部分还是因为他在音乐方面的成就，在2001年克里斯•波提发行的唱片《Night Sessions》的销量超过百万，在其中Botti将爵士乐和流行音乐两种风格融合在一起，从而创造出一个新的音乐流派。 2007年12月4日，他被提名3个格莱美奖，包括最佳流行演奏专辑和最佳长篇音乐录影带。他的三张专辑到过Billboard爵士专辑榜的榜首。曾经被美国《人物》杂志评为“全球五十大美男子”之一的克里斯•波提以俊秀的外型和高超的技巧被广大乐迷所追捧。美国著名音乐人大卫•福斯特(David Foster)推崇他的演奏具有迈尔斯•戴维斯(Miles Davis)的特色与切特•贝克(Chet Baker)的性感。

演艺经历

Botti最早的音乐受到他的母亲影响，她是一位训练有素的古典钢琴家，兼职钢琴教师。Botti在9岁的时候第一次听到小号的演奏，12岁那年听到Miles Daves演奏的“我有趣的情人节(My Funny Valentine)”之后决定学习小号。1983年，他被选为“麦当劳全美高中爵士乐队”成员，并在卡内基音乐厅举行了处子演出。

1990年开始，他成为著名的流行巨星保罗•西蒙巡回演唱会的乐坛成员。 1994年为融合爵士乐团所制作的《Out Of The Loop》专辑获得一座格莱美奖。之后，波提除了为流行乐手伴奏之外，也组织自己的乐团，一曲《Like I Do Now》堂堂进入了《BILLBOARD》杂志当代爵士乐排行榜，第二张《Midnight Without You》也是炙手可热的轰动唱片。随后，他应邀参加了斯汀(Sting)的“崭新的一天”(Brand New Day)世界巡回演出，并与斯汀结为好友，这也让Botti收获良多。

Botti生涯早期曾与萨克斯风手George Coleman、小号手Woody Shaw等爵士乐传奇人物合作。这些人的音乐常剑走偏锋，Botti在这段期间的收获反映在他演奏时不温不火的声调与天马行空的创意。随后Botti转战流行音乐圈。受过爵士乐的洗礼，Botti不甘生涯仅止于泡泡糖般的流行声响，合作的对象均为“言之有物”的流行乐坛大将：如鲍勃•迪伦(Bob Dylan)、艾瑞莎•富兰克林(Aretha Franklin)、保罗•西蒙(Paul Simon)与斯汀(Sting)等角色。从他曾合作过的对象，听者即使还不认识他，也应可以从中建立起某种“信任”，因为Chris Botti不像是会随便玩音乐的泛泛之辈。

Life and career

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

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

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

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. 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.

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

‘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. 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.

On September 25, 2007, Botti released an album entitled ‘Italia’. The album places focus on Botti's Italian roots through such songs as "Ave Maria", "Venice", "Estate", and the title track "Italia", on which he partnered with Andrea Bocelli. In December 2007, the album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Botti also performed the song with Bocelli during the 2007 edition of the Teatro del Silenzio, which was released on DVD titled ‘Vivere Live in Tuscany’ in 2008.

Early in 2009, Botti released his second CD/DVD PBS project, Chris Botti In Boston. Performing with the Boston Pops Orchestra, Botti shared the stage with Yo-Yo Ma, Steven Tyler, Josh Groban, Katharine McPhee, John Mayer, Sting, and others.

By June 2009, Chris Botti had released 12 solo albums. His first few releases are often classified as smooth jazz, though critic Alex Henderson argues that Botti's music was a cut above much of the genre; reviewing his 1999 album, Slowing Down the World, Henderson writes "it would be a major mistake to lump it in with... outright elevator muzak ... Botti is capable of a lot more."That same year as well as the following year, Botti appeared as a Pennington Great Performers series artist with the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.

Collection ‘This Is Chris Botti’ was released in December 2011.

Studio album ‘Impressions’ was released in April 2012.
