Keyboardist, trombonist, and producer Brian Culbertson has landed at Number One on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart this week with his all-star project Bringing Back The Funk. The Chicago-based musician debuted in the top slot with his tenth album, which is a salute to '70s funk and soul.
This is Culbertson's second back-to-back chart topper, after 2005's popular It's On Tonight.
Bringing Back The Funk is executive produced by Earth, Wind & Fire's Maurice White, and features special guests William "Bootsy" Collins, Musiq Soulchild, Ledisi, Larry Graham, Gerald Albright, Sheldon Reynolds, Maceo Parker, Tony Maiden, Ray Parker Jr., Ronnie Laws, Tom Scott, Paul Jackson Jr., and many others.
Culbertson's lead-off single from the project is the tune "Always Remember," which has risen to Number Eight on the national smooth jazz airplay chart.
