Chris Botti's Musical Journey | Spokane News

Grammy-winning trumpet virtuoso Chris Botti is bringing his legendary “twenty-four-year-long world tour” to the Martin Woldson Theater this Saturday — not just for a show, but for a cause. This special benefit concert supports the Music Conservatory of Sandpoint, funding scholarships and programs for young musicians. Botti’s journey began with childhood idols like Doc Severinsen and Miles Davis, revealing how breath and soul shape each player’s unique sound. He chased his dream in New York against his parents’ doubts, now maintaining peak performance through disciplined daily practice — like a ballet dancer — mastering air control and emotional expression. His shows blend jazz with pop, powered by a rotating, hand-picked band that turns every night into a fresh, unforgettable experience. Despite the grind of global travel, Botti radiates gratitude for living his dream — and believes the discipline of music offers timeless life skills for any path.
