Chris Botti

As part of the Kansas City Symphony’s Pops series of crowd-pleasing performances, trumpeter Chris Botti joins the symphony tonight for a performance of contemporary jazz and pop. Known for his particular flavor of smooo-oooth jazz, the Grammy-winning Botti is better-regarded among music critics than some of his tenor-sax-playing brethren.
