Synopsis

Amazon.com

When, as a teenager, Brian Culbertson released his debut album, Long Night Out, in the early part of the 1990s, it was obvious that he was a child of smooth jazz, with a definite penchant for commercial musical hooks that hang together and shine. Subsequent successes showed that he had that talent in abundance, but those records seemed rushed to strike the smooth-jazz iron while the radio play was hot. Nice & Slow varies from his recent efforts; as the title suggest, it's a mellower 11-song effort, but it seems Culbertson also used the title as a mantra in putting these songs together, as they are among his best compositions--Culbertson hasn't put out a more complete album since his debut. The evidence abounds, from the delicious ballad with Dave Koz, "I Could Get Used to This" to the funky call-and-response Midwest groove on "Get It On." The young keyboardist uses (and gets the best of) his guest stars on this album, among them trumpeter Herb Alpert, fellow keyboardist Jeff Lorber, and R&B star Kenny Lattimore. --Mark Ruffin

CD Reviews

Nice and Smooth!

Tawana Hawkins | Akron, Ohio USA | 07/19/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Brian Culbertson gets better with each new project. This takes smooth jazz to the next level. He starts off kind of funky with the track titled, "Get It On." There is something for everybody's taste represented here. I like the song with Trey Lorenz, "Nice and Slow", "Someone" featuring Kenny Lattimore on lead vocals and "I Wanna Know." My favorite though is a beautiful piece with an interlude called "Together Tonight." It is so passionate and expressive that I can almost hear words even though it is a completely instrumental song. It hasn't left my cd changer since I bought it almost three weeks ago. The cd itself is dedicated to his wife. There's 'something bout love' that makes for the sweetest inspiration. It's definitely worth a listen!"

A SMOOTH JAZZ - MUST HAVE CD

highflyingadore | Washington, DC (area) | 01/04/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Brian Culbertson is young and talented. This is evident by the content of his latest release. He is smart enough to work with some major smooth jazz talent, like Dave Koz, Herb Alpert, Jeff Lorber, Tony Maiden, Ricky Peterson, and Kirk Whalum. He also has some of the best studio musicians in the business working with him too, like Alex Al, and Lenny Castro. This cd combines smooth jazz with a touch of r&b, resulting in a satisfying blend (I Wanna Know, Nice & Slow, Someone). Brian's keyboard style easily jams with the funky grooves (Get It On) as well as the soft and smooth ones (Just Another Day, I Could Get Used To This). This is by far one of the best cd's I've purchased in 2001."

"What more can I say about Brian? This guy is simply incrediable.When you play cut#8 "together tonight"you definately will cause you to bring out the champange and candles and injoy it with the one you love.Then get knocked of you seat by his increditable ren- dition of "I wanna Know" with the help of saxman Kirk Whalum. I took this CD to work with me one friday(thats my longest day at work,an to break the monoply and anything else ,I bring a couple of CD's and my boombox)I dropped in Nice&Slow,cut #8 and all my co-workers wanted to know who that was.after learning who it was ,they said they had to have it."
