Katie Couric's new Boyfriend is a Jazz Musician
I was watching my local news last night. Before they broke to a commerical they left one of their teases to keep you watching. They mentioned that Katy has a new boyfriend and that he is a jazz trumpet player.
I never did see the actual segment and have no idea who this guy is. Does anyone have the real scoop?

We're fast here at Jazz Corner, but Google is even faster.
Chris Botti Dating Katie Couric
Chris Botti, about to embark on a worldwide tour with Sting, will have to spend some time away from his new beau, Today show co-host Katie Couric.
Katie Couric isn't wasting any time. A couple of weeks after breaking up with TV producer Tom Werner, the co-host of NBC's Today show only has eyes for one of smooth jazz's biggest stars: trumpeter Chris Botti.
People reports that Couric, 47, and Botti, 42 are now dating. Couric, who has co-hosted Today since 1991 and also reports for NBC's Dateline, lost husband Jay Monahan to colon cancer five years ago.
Couric and Botti might not be seeing much of each other. Botti is schuduled to fly to Rotterdam, The Netherlands, on Nov. 2 to perform as the opening act for Sting's European leg of his Sacred Love tour.
Although not as big of a star as Couric, Botti is getting there. He was recently named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People and performed "God Bless America" during the National League baseball playoff series. He was also scheduled to perform the song if there were to be a fifth game of the World Series. But that didn't happen when the Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals four-games-to-one in the best-of-seven series.
Botti's most recent album of love song, When I Fall In Love, is also helping to put the trumpeter in the national spotlight. It's current No. 1 on Billboard's jazz charts.
Botti's previous album, A Thousand Kisses Deep, features the No. 6 song on Radio & Records' smooth jazz charts, “Back Into My Heart.” At the same time, he now has a single from When I Fall in Love called “No Ordinary Love,” a cover of the Sade classic.

You beat me to it. Aaaaaaagh!
"Beau" is an infinitely long way from being gender neutral.

I say it's about time.
Except for the fact that "Michelle, mon beau" doesn't rhyme.

Actually, she's looking a little better these days, thanks to modern science miracles.
This Botti cat used to play with Paul Simon way back when, IIRC.

Botti has played with Bill Bruford and Tony Levin, so he's not completely useless.

even though she's not a helluva lot older than he is, he looks more like he could be her son than her boyfriend from the photos i've seen. sorry if i sound catty but it's just how i (literally) see it - they look weird together!

to diffuse my "cattiness" in my previous post, i should have added that she has always appeared to be a lovely and caring person. and i certainly wish her well in her new relationship. she obviously went through a lot of really tough times with her husband.

Chris, I was joking. 
Valerie, recently it appears they have found a way to smooth her skin on camera, but I thought she was *always* looking weird before. My comprehensive analysis? In an effort to sexy up her cute look over the years (her or the network's choice?), she has tried a multitude of disguises that I think have mostly not worked. Like Sarah Jessica Parker, I have always had a hard time integrating her as a blond. However, they have succeeded with her most recent look. (I finally *get* Sarah too, but it has taken many years.) For Katie, I think it's mostly a face thing. She has that thin skin and tiny features that have made her look puckered as she's aged. I think the camera is really tough on shadows.
