Grammy Award-Winning trumpeter Chris Botti is our guest on this episode of Heart of the Arts. His tour is back in full swing and he’s bringing some new musicians on stage with him. Before getting back out on the road in September of 2021 he spent most of his time practicing and studying jazz for hours and hours a day as if he were back in college. Botti gives a little insight into his trajectory and how he’s been doing over the last two years. You can hear him live at the Ikeda Theater on April 7th at 7:30pm.
