to & Buy "Nice & Slow"
"Every record is a growing,
learning experience," the soft-spoken young artist
explains. "I always think that each record I do is
better than the one that came before, and this is no
exception."
Smooth Jazz with heart. |

Culbertson writes soundscapes for modern times –
sophisticated and smooth, yet pushed by a sensual, steamy
pulse that’s both uptown and upscale. It’s music for
people on the move and in the mood.
He’s been laying down these seductive grooves since 1994,
when "LONG NIGHT OUT" positioned him as a studio-savvy
prodigy and the talent to watch in smooth jazz. The years
that followed marked a steady ascension in Culbertson’s
career, as he quickly established himself in the
contemporary jazz world. Two of his hit singles, "Do You
Really Love Me?" and "Back in the Day," soared to the top
of the NAC charts, and his album "SOMETHIN’ BOUT LOVE"
rode high on the Top 20 contemporary jazz charts for
nearly a year.
Even more important than his professional success, each
new Culbertson release has raised the bar on his standards
and his fans’ expectations -- both of which he exceeds on
his new Atlantic release, "NICE & SLOW."
Culbertson’s
piano work shines as never before throughout the new
album. His solo lines float, delicate and compelling, over
popping drum patterns; each note glows against velvety
synth pads. It’s more than just Class-A playing; it’s
evidence of Culbertson’s continuing musical evolution:
"Over the past seven years, playing live and in the
studios so much, I’ve definitely found my own voice."
Much of the emerging Culbertson sound derives from the
need to convey some sort of mood, whether it’s ‘Hey, get
up and party!’ or chillin’ out late at night. Whatever it
is, I always do the music that I feel inside."
