XII

Brian Culbertson has another hit on his hands. He has enlisted the help of some folks in the music industry such as Avant, Brian McKnight, Faith Evans, and so on. This album is just what I was looking for. Anyone that likes a funky groove or just a simple relaxing jazz melody will love this cd.

It seems a lot of the smooth jazz artists are steering away from the smooth grooves they once produced, and favoring more R&B styles. I was hoping this would be his return after his disappointing "Bringing Back the Funk" album. It fails. This album only had a few smooth tracks that were worth listening to, the rest were too "hip-hop". If you're looking for smooth keyboards, I suggest Brian Simpson's "South Beach" album over this one. Really wish Culbertson would bring it back the way he used to.

I've been a fan for years, have all Brian's CD's. This one is now my FAVORITE. Unmistakably BC, but with great funk and blues twists. LOVE this one! The cut with Sinbad makes me smile every time!

Brian is having fun!! From a fun,funky jazzy start on track 1 to a smooth middle tracks 2 thru 8 and a strong finish tracks 8,10 and 12!! Great cd!! If you have a Brian Culbertson cd chances are you're a fan or becoming one! I have 10 of Brian's cd! Why stop now! XII is worth it!! Jam on Brian!!!

Another Blockbuster... for Brian.... Boy I love his music.....this cd is a "must" for his collection.....
