On {|Dreams|}, {|Brian Culbertson|} attempts to dig further into the vein he opened on 2010's {|XII|}, where he seamlessly married adult-oriented R&B to contemporary jazz. In fact, {|Dreams|} feels like a bookend of sorts. He employs an alternating cast of studio aces who include {|Alex Al|}, {|John Jubu Smith|}, {|Eric Marienthal|}, {|Michael Stever|}, {|Ray Parker, Jr.|}, {|Rex Rideout|}, and {|Rob Fonksta Bacon|}, as well as a trio of vocalists: {|Stokley Williams|} ({|Mint Condition|}), {|Vivian Green|}, and {|Noel Gourdin|}. There are some stellar numbers here, including the {|Williams|} vehicle, No Limits, a midtempo babymaker. {|Culbertson|}'s acoustic piano, {|Smith|}'s guitar, and some pronounced loops ride atop the bassline to frame the singer's mellifluous tenor. This cut is the sweet spot where neo-soul, adult R&B, and contemporary jazz create a classy pop sound. {|Green|}'s moment, Still Here, juxtaposes her taut vocal against acoustic piano and {|Rideout|}'s fat synth bass with an insistent loop. The result is dramatic. Opening instrumental Later Tonight features some nice horn work from {|Marienthal|}, {|Stever|} -- and {|Culbertson|} on trombone -- and very fine guitar from {|Bacon|}. Its melody is instantly recognizable with the horns being used sparely but effectively in the mix. In the City may be the strongest of the instrumentals, with a deep bass groove and chugging, almost dubwise, rhythm. Here too, the horns fill the backdrop as {|Smith|}'s guitar accents the bassline. All of these cuts are in the first half of the album. You're My Music, sung by {|Gourdin|}, is a nice soul-pop bubbler and the title track, with its infectious melody and contrasting acoustic and electric guitars, offers a wonderful palette of textures. The three closing instrumentals, however, are less distinguishable. They seem to blunt the impact of the set's previous cuts rather than provide the kind of balance -- one suspects -- {|Culbertson|} was looking to create. As Chapter Two of XII, this works well, but as an album, {|Dreams|} doesn't reach its predecessor's heights. ~ Thom Jurek Music>Music>Jazz>Jazz>Jazz, Universal Distribution Core >3<
