Mr. Wah

"Mr. Wah" is a track on the 1997 album, Midnight Without You.  I discovered the song on The Very Best of Chris Botti

"Mr. Wah" was the first song I heard by Chris Botti and what sparked my now forever interest.

Chris Botti has a distinctive sound that is emotionally driven.  His opening song in the Live from Boston concert (2008) was a dedication to Miles Davis and the iconic jazz classic "Flamingo Sketches."  The performance was musically engaging and if you close your eyes, you could imagine Miles Davis taking over the stage.  Yet, there was still a hint of Chris's style throughout the honor.

And so "Mr. Wah" is an example of Chris Botti's noteworthy take on jazz music.
