I have finished listening to “It’s on Tonight” Album by Brian Culbertson..It’s good for those who like slow pop jazz, and I think it’s easy listening, isn’t it? He’s one of brilliant musicians in the world of smooth jazz, based on the arrangements, the melodies, and most of all, my opinion, hehehehe.
One of the songs, “it’s on tonight” is really comforting, sometimes backing vocal went with the flow, but of course the piano was always the leader of it.

On the song “Love will never let you down”, I feel the beat is like a blend of RnB music, pop and jazz..Overall, I have one conclusion, he is very good at combining vocal and instruments together, as if the vocal is one of the instruments too, and piano is the “playmaker”, very nice! What do you think?
