The first song is “Ave Maria and the last song is “Time to Say Goodbye.” Very nice. However, the 11 songs in between are a hodgepodge of pop, old standards, and dreck. Sting shows up. So does Josh Groban and Yo-Yo Ma. And Katharine McPhee, Lucia Micarelli, and John Mayer. The title should have been: CHRIS BOTTI AND FRIENDS LIVE IN BOSTON. I would have preferred just Chris Botti and the Boston Pops. GRADE: B-
