 Rating:  - CD reviewI recently purchased the CD Brining Back the Funk and am very pleased with it. The music is great and very orginal. The CD has met my expectations as well as the service that I recieved when I purchased the CD. Would recommend. Rating: - jazzlove this cd If you love jazz with a twist this is your cd Rating:  - Surprise.... Surprise....Surprisingly likeable CD. A little instrumental jazz, a little funky, some with vocal and others not. But this is a nice tribute to that era with a touch of his own style. I have to say the first track threw me for a minute I was unsure if I would be able to get into the CD. But it recovered on the second track and got stronger thereafter. Loved the version of Hollywood Swingers w/Musiq & Albright and The World Keeps Going Around w/Ledisi, who is a wonderful vocalist who truly shines on this track. This was quite enjoyable, not too over the top but mellow funk. Definately for Ole School lovers who don't mind a little variety/twist. Rating: - Not quite funkThis is one great album. It's an awesome mood-maker, putting you into a comfortable jazz groove right up front and consistently. My one complaint is the title. I don't think it actually brings back any funk; it's more of a fusion of 75% jazz and 25% funk. The main reason for that is that piano was never at the heart of funk. Funk built on rhythm and a thumping bass, not keys. That said, Culbertson definitely has a funky heart and brings a great vibe to his jazz. Rating: - The Funk Has Definitely Been Revived! I'll make this review short but sweet. If you are a fan of classic funk then Brian Culbertson (with the help of a few of his old school friends with serious funk credentials) has just created a generous slice of the good stuff. To carry my metaphor a little further, it's like unexpectedly coming across a bottle of a favorite old wine, sharing it with a special friend that you know will appreciate it, and discovering that it's every bit as good as you remembered it to be. Of course the difference here is that you can listen to Brian's new CD as many times as you want. If you appreciate "the real deal" funk as much as I do, my prediction is that as soon as the last note dies away you will be hitting play again to reappreciate Bringing Back the ... Read More: |
