Product Description
Bryan Culbertson, a leading pianist in the smooth jazz world, has completed his new album. It's a vibrant musical journey that fuses contemporary jazz, funk, fusion, and deep, soulful grooves. This album was live-recorded in the studio using real instruments, without any computer programming or shortcuts. Featuring some of the world's top musicians, including Marcus Miller, Sheila E., Branford Marsalis, Randy Brecker, Eric Marienthal, Isaiah Sharkey, Kirk Whalum, and Mike Stern, this is a truly sublime work. The lead single from the album, "On The Road," has been well-received in digital distribution and is a track that showcases the energy and innovation of this work. This album, previously released overseas, is finally available in Japan. "With 'Day Trip,' I wanted to go back to the origins of how the records that shaped me were made. No computer programming or shortcuts, live recording in the studio using real instruments?that's the kind of production it was," says Culbertson. "We've brought together some of the world's top musicians to create something unlike anything we've done before. It's a complete adventure both in terms of composition and sound, and that's where the title comes from." In addition, top-tier musicians such as longtime collaborator Nicholas Cole (who co-wrote 9 songs with Brian), Nathan East, Lil John Roberts, Lenny Castro, Paul Jackson Jr., Ray Parker Jr., Michael Stever, and Michael "Patches" Stewart have added a rich and layered sound to the album.
