Brian Culbertson heads to Lyman Center in New Haven

- By John Atashian

Musician Brian Culbertson is set to perform at the Lyman Center for the Performing Arts in New Haven on Saturday, Oct. 29. Brian has always been striving to push the boundaries of the jazz scene, which is evident by his forthcomin­g album, “Funk!”

The new set is a throwback to the stanky PFunk records from back in the day combining infectious bass lines, greasy horn licks, sing-a-long hooks and of course, landing hard on the ‘One.’ The record is also a followup to his widely successful “Bringing Back The Funk” album from 2008, which was co-produced by the late Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire.

With 16 albums and counting, Culbertson always brings his very best in all his broad-ranging musical endeavors. This new project is sure to be reinforced by his high energy live performanc­e.
