I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and suffered massive bouts of depression. I turned to anything for comfort.
Chris Botti, recorded or live, is emotionally driven. His tone on the trumpet is distinct and strikingly similar to Miles Davis. I was familiar with Miles Davis, so I considered Chris Botti's music.
My collection began with Night Sessions. I do not remember any song from the album airing on the radio, so how I discovered Night Sessions I will never know. I do know that I listened to the album every day as a source of soothing peace to accept the fact that I am permanently mentally ill.
My Chris Botti collection has since grown to include A Thousand Kisses Deep, Italia, To Love Again, and The Very Best of Chris Botti.
