Brian Culbertson – White
Those who have been following my reviews at http://www.smoothjazz.eu for years will be familiar with this artist. R&B and smooth jazz hitman Brian Culbertson started years ago with his “Hang Club”, which he streamed weekly on YouTube.
From there came the inspiration for the 3 albums of “The Trilogy”. After all, Brian composed, produced and played this trilogy with the help of more than 800 members of that “Hang Club”, the third part of which has now been released.
It is also Brian’s 25th album. The first part, ‘Red’, was about falling in love and sounded sensual and romantic. The second ‘Blue’, on the other hand, was rather melancholy during a love break-up. But this third volume is a reunion, and sounds hopeful with upbeat urban grooves, nuanced contemporary jazz and pop songs.
