I'm not the biggest fan of instrumental takes on popular songs that originally had lyrics. With that said, I really like this smooth jazz take on this classic, especially the way Botti plays with the melody. It's familiar and new all at the same time. The brush patterns on the drum kit make the time seem kind of loose and flowing. Botti's tone is so smooth, too. I can just imagine sitting in front of a fire with some hot chocolate while music like this plays, slowly falling asleep...after I put the hot chocolate down... Those sizzles on the cymbals definitely make feel sleepy.
