It's On Tonight by Brian Culbertson: Smooth Jazz CD Review
by Lee Dennis, a.k.a. SmoothLee
Oh My Goodness!!!
These three words perfectly express what I
think of Brian
Culbertson's seductively titled "It's On Tonight" CD.
This CD, although mostly containing songs
completely without lyrics, comes extremely close to being explicit. I mean it
just drips track after seductive track with some of the most intensely
suggestive smooth jazz you'll ever hear.

samples of each song on It's On
Tonight by Brian Culbertson.
It starts off HOT with track 1, Let's Get
Started and only gets hotter.
Track 4, Sensuality, he should have just flat
out named "Sex". It's that good.
These days it's a very rare CD on which every
single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one
of those rare CDs.
Smooth Jazz music fans will recognize some of
the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Culbertson on
several of the tracks. Artists like Boney James, Kirk Whalum and the
incomparable Chris Botti just to name a few.
Fans of smooth vocalists will enjoy the
contributions made by Will Downing, Patti Austin and Marc Nelson to songs on
this CD as well.
If you're a Brian Culbertson fan this is a CD
your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that
you don't even have to be a fan of Culbertson, or even smooth jazz to know is
good. It's just good music. Period.
The standout tunes are The Way You Feel [track
5], Dreaming of You [track 7], and Secret Affair [track 9]. My SmoothLee Bonus
Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track
4, Sensuality. Wow! Be very careful who you're in the room with when you press
play on this one. Unless of course...
You were warned.
