SUMMARY:Chris Botti
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \nMain Stage\n(Building 11A)\nOrchestra $104\, Mezzanine $84 \nPre-Show OCC Foundation\nReception at B2Bistro $75 \nPost-show VIP Packages\navailable at chrisbotti.com.\n \nAbout the OCC Foundation Concert Event\n \nSince 1965\, the OCC Foundation has proudly served the Ocean County College community\, supporting thousands of deserving students. Over the past 60 years\, we’ve awarded over $22 million in scholarships and special program funding. Your generosity continues to make a lasting impact\, supporting initiatives like the Helping Hands Food Pantry\, the Blauvelt Speaker Series\, the Global Travel Experience\, select programming at the Grunin Center for the Arts\, the Robert J. Novins Planetarium\, and the Veteran & Military Resource Center (VMRC)\, resources for Athletic programs\, and support for many other college and student-led programs. \nAbout Chris Botti\nGRAMMY-winning trumpeter Chris Botti has been one of the most popular instrumentalists in the world for nearly three decades; he’s collaborated with some of the biggest superstars on the planet\, including Sting\, Paul Simon\, Barbra Streisand\, Lady Gaga\, Tony Bennett\, Frank Sinatra\, Aretha Franklin\, Bette Midler\, Joni Mitchell\, Steven Tyler\, Andrea Bocelli\, Herbie Hancock\, Yo-Yo Ma\, and others; he’s topped the jazz charts with numerous albums\, earned multiple Gold and Platinum records\, performed with symphony orchestras and on prestigious stages from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House. \nIn short\, Chris Botti really needs no introduction. Yet with his Blue Note Records debut\, he’s offering one anyway. Vol.1 is in many ways a fresh start for the trumpeter. Having successfully crossed over from jazz renown to pop stardom\, Botti’s first album in more than a decade finds him crossing back\, with a small group project focused on acoustic jazz and classic standards. \n“I turned 60 in 2022\, at a time that seemed like a restart for so many things in the world\,” Botti says. “I wanted to strip away all the orchestral arrangements and special guests and focus more on my playing\, the playing of my band\, and these jazz classics that we always love playing on stage.” \nWhile Botti could boast of the major names with whom he’s shared stages\, this project allows him to share his enthusiasm for the jazz greats past and present that excite him – his conversation is peppered with references to everyone from Miles Davis to Keith Jarrett to Pat Metheny to Brad Mehldau. He points to landmark albums like Davis’ Kind of Blue\, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman\, or Metheny’s duo outing with Charlie Haden\, Beyond the Missouri Sky as models for the kind of “lifestyle” music he set out to make – music that is exquisite on its own but can also set the scene for a coffee shop or hotel lounge\, instantly generating a sophisticated mood. \nOf course\, Botti couldn’t have found a more ideal home for this artistic rebirth. Blue Note has been a standard-bearer of jazz throughout its storied history\, and the trumpeter found a receptive partner in label president Don Was. “Anyone that’s lucky enough to say they’re on Blue Note Records should be pinching themselves\,” Botti says. “It’s a fantastic honor. I had great runs on Verve and Columbia\, so it’s amazing to now arrive on the most famous traditional jazz record label.” \nSponsors\nSilver Serenade Sponsors \n \n  \nShare This:
