Chris Botti In Boston is a magnificent concert recorded at Symphony Hall in Boston on September 18 and 19, 2008. Previous to this release, Chris Botti Live With Orchestra And Special Guests on Blu-ray Disc was reviewed in Issue 122 (July/August 2007). Symphony Hall is one of the most beautiful and acoustically perfect concert halls in the world. The concert features trumpet virtuoso Chris Botti with his quartet and special guests (in order of appearance) Sting, Dominic Miller, Josh Groban, Katharine McPhee, Yo-Yo Ma, Sy Smith, John Meyer, and Steven Tyler, backed by the Boston Pops Orchestra conducted by Keith Lockhart. Chris Botti's band is comprised of Billy Childs (piano), Billy Kilson (drums), Mark Whitfield (guitar), and Robert Hurst (bass). The performance was, according to Botti, "...one of the most magical and memorable nights of my life. (Gary Reber)
