Slowing Down the World

His previous 2 releases as a leader have shown trumpeter Chris Botti to be a force in modern instrumental pop. Slowing Down the World is his most fully realized musical statement yet: A romantic set with equal measures of sophistication and soul. With lush instrumentals and sunny melodies, the album is highlighted by Sting's vocal on the Sinatra classic quot;In the Wee Small Hours,quot; Botti's vocal debut on Randy Newman's haunting quot;Same Girlquot; and the NAC single, quot;Drive Time.quot;
