XII album Product Description
XII album by Brian Culbertson was released Jul 20, 2010 on the GRP (USA) label. Given the widespread critical acclaim and commercial success Brian Culbertson garnered from 2008's retro Bringing Back the Funk, it would be understandably tempting for him -- or any musician -- to revisit it wholesale. However, Culbertson throws a changeup on XII and comes up with a set of collaborative originals with stellar guests that relies more on modern adult R&B than funk, and more on sophisticated pop than it does on contemporary jazz. He's got real star power on this set; it's a groover that includes everything from club to go-go funk, up- and midtempo R&B, and polished bedroom ballads, and it all holds together seamlessly. The set opens with "Feelin' It," which features some comedy from Sinbad in the intro and outro, but more importantly, Chuck Brown's vocals are the centerpiece -- Culbertson's piano line quotes liberally from Brown's classic "Bustin' Loose" (he gets a co-write). Ray Parker, Jr. 's guitar and Alex Al's bassline turn it into a monster. ...See Full Description

| Brian Gets Funk-ee This is the essence of Funk. The talent is limiitless on this piece. I find it very hard to listen to once. Each time I play it, I do a double take and listen to it again, from the beginning. Way to go Brian. By ranhop51 (Houston, TX. USA)  |
| AWESOME There is only one word for this cd, AWESOME. I love it! By NYBOR55 (Clinton, MD) |
| Brian Culbertson XII Listening to this album simply shows the rare talent for creating fantastic music. Brian Culbertson - in my world - is a smooth jazz artist but here he proves to master R&B perfectly as well. Listen to "skies wide open" and you'll be to tell his ability and feeling to balance the R&B 'part' with his piano 'lying' just beneath...fantastic If this is first Brian Culbertson experience be sure to look up his earlier albums. You won't be disappointed! By jacobsenclaus (Slagelse, Denmark)  |
| Smooth Jazz CD of 2010 so far. All other jazz artist step your game up Mr. Culbertson has set the bar very high. Collaborations are on point. By Rod (Texas) |
