#BottiChallenge
What's the #BottiChallenge?
With the release of the new Chris Botti jazz album, "Chris Botti Vol.1", Blue Note Records is teaming up with Jazz Memes to start the #BottiChallenge to get you to duet with Chris Botti and have some fun!
This challenge will run from November 6th, 2023 to December 8th, 2023.
All submissions must be received by December 8th, 2023 in order to be eligible for prizes.
See below for details on how to enter.
#VinylChallenge - How to Enter
1. Take a video of yourself doing a duet to one of these Chris Botti videos (which you can download below).
If you are a melodic instrument (horn players, guitarists, singers, etc.), perform the first half of the song "My Funny Valentine" and then pick the "My Funny Valentine - Bridge to End - Chris Botti.mp4" file to sync with so Chris Botti plays after you to the end of the song.
If you are a rhythm section player, feel free to pick any of the videos and play along with at least 60 seconds of any one of them.
The more creative the entry, the better. Bonus points if you integrate any of our past challenges such as the
#LaidBackChallenge or the #BirdBoxChallenge into this as well.
