I'm a smooth jazz fan, and love the formula over the past decade or so--the sounds of a sweet sax to the beat of an old R&B; song. More recent Brian Culbertson CD's follow this formula, but this CD is so caught up in the "Quiet Storm" motif that I longed for the "storm"--this CD is all about the "quiet."First of all, there is not a single song with a discernable beat.Second, many of the songs are so self absorbed they have "introductions" as a prelude to the song. Dude, just play the song, I'm not impressed by titles and labels.I would pass on this CD. Brian Culbertson has some excellent CD's and tracks--but this isn't one of them. Unless of course you are a dentist--you might find the CD useful.
