Editorial Review: Album Description: There is a well-known and anticipated moment during every Brian Culbertson concert when the keyboardist discreetly asks the members of his band to turn their backs to the crowd. The leader then bows his head at the electric piano and plays a seductive theme. He offers the audience this intimate moment to kindle romance, hoping to send them home in a state of blissful anticipation with the thought, "Baby, it's on tonight." Culbertson has turned that fleeting concert highlight into a 12-song seduction suite that marks his eighth album and GRP Records debut, It's On Tonight. Dripping in sensuality, the album consists of all-original material, including three vocal pieces: the flirtatious title track (f/ Will Downing), the spirited "Love Will Never Let You Down" (f/ Patti Austin) and the bold "Wear it Out" (f/ Marc Nelson, lyricist of three numbers on the CD and a member of Babyface's protigi vocal group, Az Yet). Culbertson also hand-picked three of smooth jazz's most sensitive horn players to lend their singular auras to the vibe at hand: saxophonists Boney James and Kirk Whalum, and trumpeter Chris Botti. As always, Culbertson produced the album, collaborating on seven of the songs with his frequent creative partner Stephen Lu. Amazon.com: The phrase "It’s On Tonight," is a catch-word leading to nocturnal negotiations. On this, his seventh CD as a leader, the Illinois-born keyboardist Brian Culberston composed a 12-song "seduction suite," designed to inspire moonlight maneuvers--legal or illicit. His cohorts in carnal knowledge and crime include several vocalists: Will Downing's impassioned baritone imbues the zesty title track. The always awesome Patti Austin graces "Love Will Never Let You Down," and Marc Nelson lends his poetic pipes to the straightforward "Wear it Out." Saxophonists Boney James and Kirk Whalum lend their silken improvisations to the mix, along with the Milesian musings of trumpeter Chris Botti. Culbertson’s musicality obviously speaks the language of the radio-friendly smooth jazz variety, albeit laced with the influences of Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, and Tower of Power. In this idiom, the groove rules, and Culbertson and company ride them like pros. --Eugene Holley, Jr. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - A Genuine, Delightful Talent!An outstanding jazz talent that I have had the pleasure to work with in our studio. A genuine individual who plays from the heart. Thanks to Brian & his wife, Michelle, we raised over $50,000 to benefit Katrina victims when they flew here to volunteer thier time & talent. Just to watch Brian play is amazing - You can't help but to feel the passion he emits through his music. You can never go wrong with Brian Culbertson's talent in your line up! Rating:  - Brian Culbertson - It's On Tonight reviewBig fan of this man's music and this project does not disappoint at all. Great diversity in the musical instruments he chooses and the combination of vocals on the cuts make for a wonderful listening experience. Suggested listening to all who enjoy "good driving" jazz. Received it during the timeframe indicated with no damage done to it during transport. Enjoyed purchasing with Amazon for it is truly hassle free. Will continue to do business with Amazon in the future. Thanks Rating: - goodbuyAs a smooth jazz addict, this piece is bouncy, uplifting and downright pleasurable to listen to. The latter few pieces are a bit "tamer" but the album is a winner for my money! Rating: - Thank God for BrianThis man has more talent in his pinky than most men have in 10 lifetimes , finally a complete mid-downtempo work of art. Rating: - Billy '2sweet 'TaylorNow I am just beginning to get into jazz music,or I should say for the last two years I have been kicking it around. Now you real jazzmen or Women know that's not a lot time to say that you know jazz.I'm a old school fan of R&B from the middle sixties to present.One night I decided to give jazz a chance. When I tuned in my radio to the jazz channel they had a nerve to be featuring this Guy. I was blown out of my mind,I could'nt beleive what I was hearing and what I had been missing. The next day I bought everything that I could find "by this guy'.It's on tonight is my favorite. Trust the Rookie on this one.You can't go wrong.If you like Brian's sweet piano/keyboard on his previous releases,you'll love this one. |
