That's true, but you never know.
My main problem with Botti has always been it's fake jazzness. Either play jazz or don't. Botti's records aren't even really smooth jazz. Those records are to acoustic jazz what the Disney castle is to Al Kerak: technically a castle in form only.
But his playing itself is fine. On other people's records he's someone to listen out for with interest, even if not necessarily the highest expectations.
