Review from allmusic.com
by Jonathan Widran

There is a strange but beautiful irony that occurs when an artist writes a
great song upon the death of a loved one. Doubtful that Brian Culbertson was
aiming for one of Somethin' Bout Love's (Atlantic) most emotionally rich tunes
when he wrote the powerful gospel of "I'm Gonna Miss You" for his late
manager Howard Lowe II, but he and co-writer/vocalist Lori Perry achieve just
that. Unlike similar tunes in American culture that come across as generic, the
poignant lyrics are specific to the artist-manager relationship, adding to the
tune's uniqueness. The previous ten tracks are typically engaging Culbertson:
irresistibly bubbly piano melodies over easy funk grooves, and engaging guest
shots by genre artists like saxman Steve Cole (whose alto jams alongside the
piano on the hook as Ricky Peterson's Hammond B-3 simmers like a finger on
the trigger in the background), Paul Jackson, Jr., Wayman Tisdale, and Dave
Koz. Part of the Culbertson lore has him becoming a smooth jazz star while
pursuing his love of film scoring. "The Rise and Fall (Of Loving You)," a
powerful duet with Koz, soars like the climactic scene in a romantic movie.
Culbertson should also further cultivate his love for brassy R&B/blues funk, as
the jammin' "Back in the Day" -- featuring the keyboardist playing trumpet and
trombone -- which rings like a classic Earth, Wind & Fire type tune.

It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, I really thought I didn't like this conversion to Flac and the
other new formats, well now I see what all the difference it makes on my 5.1 stereo. It sounds bettter
than the cd.
I can't say I will make all of my torrents flac but good Jazz cd's the deserve the effort. It took me a
long time to get this torrent the way I wanted but it's the way I like it.
If anyone has any suggestions about how to make the flac cd better, like mabye a better compression ration
put them on the comments of the torrent I will get them.
I hope you enjoy it.
