Great combination of funk and jazz. I especially like the Bootsy Collins cuts, Hollywood Swinging and The World Keeps Going Around. Some of the cuts are average, but the others are superior. Well worth listening to.
KEEP FUNK ALIVE !!!!
...and he really did. Culbertson brought back the funk! June 14, 2008

That Brian Culbertson is a fine piano player is no news. What it's real news it's his amazing versatility to navigate from one silky, mellow & romantic repetoire ("It's on tonight") to a funky and jazzy album like this one, effortlesly. That's a gift that not many musicians can prove. Brian has it. "Bring back the funk" is a "must" for any smooth jazz lover. It's hard to believe after listening this album someone could write "tired and uninspired effort", unless you have become def without acknowledgeing it, of course.
 Very Tired and Uninspired Effort. June 12, 2008
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
I have alway thought of Brian Culbertson as being one of the finest smooth jazz artist of this time. However, this release is very tired and uninspired. It is so much so, that I could not finish listening to it. There is no smooth flow, just a bunch of unmemorable sound with a funk edge to it that would not have even been hits during the funk era of the '70s. Brian really butchered Kool and the Gang's song, "Hollywood Swinging," and made a great song terrible. Thank goodness Kool did not use Brian's arrangements when he initially made that song. With all this said, the smooth jazz genre seems to be lacking at present. And, I can tell that I won't be writing too many future reviews as this format seems to be in a permanent lull.
A great mix of contemporary jazz and 70's funk flavor June 2, 2008

Brian Culbertson's style can be heard in each track, but the exact amount of 70's spice and flavor gives this disk a great nouvelle style that must be heard.
Once again June 2, 2008
