In an exclusive interview with YTL Life, acclaimed trumpeter Chris Botti takes time from his current frenetic international tour to chat about the most important thing in the world to him – music. Text by Mark Lean Photography by Fabrizio Ferri

With nominations for fi ve Grammy Awards and three of his albums reaching the number 1 spot on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, it’s clear that North American trumpeter and composer Chris Botti’s brand of contemporary jazz and adult contemporary pop is as popular today as the current chart toppers. Collaborations with luminaries of the music world like Sting and Paul Simon have also imparted added lustre to a career built solidly on exemplary technique and inspired showmanship.

Who are your favourite musicians to perform with?I’ve been able to perform with so many of my favourite people in the world. My fi rst professional concert was with Frank Sinatra and of course, that was a thrill but I would say that when reflecting on my entire career, Sting would be at the top followed by other greats such as Andrea

Bocelli and the people who performed on “Chris Botti in Boston”: John Mayer, Steven Tyler, Yo-Yo Ma, Josh Groban and Katherine McPhee.

Which is your favourite venue to perform at and why? There are so many great venues. Carnegie Hall is amazing as is the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. I think what makes a great venue is the way the night is, not necessarily the venue itself. The audience reaction and the magic of a particular night are very important. You can play a little tiny club in New York City like the Blue Note or you can go uptown and play Carnegie Hall - which is grandiose and regal - and you just never know when the good nights are going to happen, but generally, the classic beautiful places like Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl are probably the bestin the world.

Life’s Simple Pleasures Fresh Niseko asparagus has all the richness and colour of summer, says Hilton Niseko Village Executive Sous Chef Rob Shipman. “It’s so fresh and sweet-tasting it would be a sin to mask it with any strong fl avours!” Instead, he recommends wrapping 12 asparagus spears, two teaspoons each of butter, olive oil and white wine, with a little salt and pepper, in a snug tin foil parcel. Steam on a BBQ for fi ve minutes each side. Serve as an entrée with a crisp white wine. Feeds four.

Couture Chocolate The art of chocolate connoisseurship b lends seamless ly with the world of couture in Giorgio Armani’s latest confect ionary range. The Armani/Dolce pral ines come in seductively unusual blends such as dark chocolate with green tea, and milk chocolate with lime and rum, presented in Armani’s signature packaging. As the maestro once said about his famous clothing, but equa l l y re levant here, “ I t ’s all about good taste.” Now available at Carlton Gourmet in The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur.

Top Tips: The Perfect Sunday RoastRitz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur Executive Sous Chef, Mohd Firdaous reveals his top tips on how to roast meat perfectly, every time.1. Chilling meat at around 5°C for 2 to 4 days before roasting locks in moisture and keeps it tender, a process called ‘ageing’. 2. Add more fat to leaner cuts of meat to help infuse deeper flavours during cooking.3. Garlic, thyme and rosemary are aromatic fl avours that infuse well with beef marinades. Massage herbs gently into the meat and allow at least 24 hours(chilled at 5 degrees), for the delicious fl avours to permeate. 4. Cooking temperature should initially be quite high to seal in the juices. To cook a 4kg roast, start at 200°C for 20 min, and then reduce heat to 70°C for 3 hrs to achieve a better texture through slow cooking.5. Once cooked, rest the roasted meat for at least 20 minutes before carving to lock in the fl avoursome juices and aromas.

Summer’s Hottest Scents Eau so good: hit the high notes with this summer’s refreshingly delicious fragrances.

The most exciting of the latest arrivals is the refreshingly uncomplicated Biscotti from Marc Jacob’s Splash Summer 2010 Collection. Inspired by Italy’s favourite biscuit, this utterly modern fragrance hits the spot with sparkling top notes of bergamot, freesia and orange fl ower, combined with a hint of pistachio blossom and creamy vanilla to add rich tones and harmony .

Part of a trio of enigmatic fragrances, Chloe Eau de Fleurs Neroli is an eclectic cocktail of clary sage, tonka bean, white musk and amber, working in unison with notes of mandarin, orange, rosemary, neroli, peony, and cedar. The juice looks like liquid gold in a chic minimalistic bottle – a feat of cubist artistry that is sure to become a cult item in its own right.

Burberry’s limited edition Summer For Men is a modern take on traditional cologne with refreshingly crisp and clean top notes of yuzu leaves, mandarin and mint. A heady mix of juniper berries, thyme and woody notes add warmth, depth and undeniably, a touch of summery sex appeal.

With fruity notes of apricot, guava and raspberry and accents of creamy magnolia and jasmine, CK In2U Heat for Her is the perfect modern fragrance for hot summer nights. Presented in a chic brightly-coloured bottle, the invigorating cocktail of scents is an instant summer classic.

From the artistically-inspired bottle to the surprisingly complex fragrance, Prada’s Infusion de Tubéreuse EDP is a sparkling celebration of womanhood. The Indian tuberose top notes renders this superbly-crafted fragrance fl orally classic at fi rst whiff. Then, the citrus notes of blood orange and the crisp scent of petitgrain bigarade (a citrusy essential oil) introduce a fresh, invorating and lasting element .

Eternity Summer for Men by Calvin Klein is a fresh and fi nely balanced combination of kumquat, pineapple, bergamot and cardamom, with bamboo, cedar leaf, teak wood and Guaiac wood. This complex composition may sound overly exotic, but tempered with Klein’s predilection for freshness and sporty scents, it is surprisingly wearable and just ever so slightly delicious.

boasts Japan’s fi nest ski school offering expert instruction in several languages for every skill from novice to advanced. There is also an avalanche awareness course for those keen to experience Japan’s most advanced terrain, the newly opened Mizuno-no-Sawa basin beneath the Niseko Gondola. This area has been off limits since the resort opened but through advanced avalanche control techniques is now available to advanced skiers through a customized guided programme. Fans of the destination point to Niseko’s ungroomed powder bowls as a key feature of the area, but skiers and boarders of all abilities will enjoy every moment of this snowy paradise.

Just Add Hot WaterThanks to its volcanic geology Niseko is also blessed with many hot springs ranging from simple stone baths to vast luxurious pools. The sulphur-rich waters of the Hilton Niseko Village’s traditional indoor and outdoor onsens offer exceptional views towards Mount Yotei. The outdoor bath overfl ows into a large ‘eternity’ pond that is home to sleek carp creating a Zen-like atmosphere while the sulphur-rich waters are said to be excellent for joint pain. A soak in the tranquil hot spring waters promises a blissful reprieve for ski-weary muscles and a unique experience

of Japan’s favorite past-time.

Off-piste AttractionsIn the summer, Niseko Village Pure Action, a huge outdoor nature and adventure park ideal for children and adults, is at the heart of off-piste activities. Bounce onto an inflated landing pad, trampoline or joust with your opponents on an elevated cylinder. Tree trekking, suitable even for the very young (suitably attired in safety harnesses), gives a different view of the world as participants walk along hanging bridges and ropes and fl y through the air on a zip line. Alternatively there is horse riding, hand-gliding, paragliding, abseiling, motor-cross, paint ball, and rock climbing. Less active pursuits such as hot air ballooning offer an effort-free way to enjoy Niseko’s natural charms.

Meanwhile, Niseko pioneer Ross Findlay, now managing director of the popular Niseko Adventure Centre (NAC), has introduced a range of activities and excursions for the adventurous including indoor rock climbing, river rafting, mountain biking and trekking.

As Mayor Katayama says, “It won’t be long before the secret is out. Niseko really is the best place to visit at any time of the year.”

Niseko sets the scene for action-packed outdoor activities
