Brian Culbertson's debut CD stands second only to his follow up CD "Modern Life". "Aone With You" is the song that was played on the local smooth jazz station at the time and introduced me to this talented musician. But there are enough other good selections that are smooth and relaxing while still generating some interest and there is minimal "filler". While this CD is not as upbeat as "Modern Life", it is definitely worth getting if you like hearing a talented pianist that has a well aranged backup.

Verdict: If you are new to Brian Culbertson's music, buy "Modern Life" first. If you like what you hear, try this one too. You won't go wrong.

This 1994 debut is absolutely a treat for the ears. While Smooth Jazz has varied in quality ranging from just bland elevator dreck to sheer beauty, this album is the latter. "Long Night Out" is true to it's title. This is a wonderful album for those nights out on the town although it's also a wonderful daytime album as well. "City Lights" is a wonderful opener with really awesome keyboards and great beat and blues sounding guitars. My absolute favorite song however is track 9 "Alone With You". This is without a doubt hte song that made me a fan of Culbertson for there and ever since. The song is a hauntingly beautiful soulful song with beautiful keyboards and the song does some really unique chord changes throughout it's playing time. A wonderful album indeed. You can't really go too wrong with any of his albums! I guarantee it. This is a hidden gem that I highly recommend buying! Buy it today!

Great CD, I've heard alot about Brian and when I do I like to get the artist first work to see what motivates them. Certainly He is going to be one of the greats if he keeps his head connected to the Vision. I've heard other cuts/disks of his ... Will get more of his work.

im a man of few words, not real savy on the web, i had this cd, lost it at work or some where, still have the case which by the way is autogragh't by him saw him in concert 5-6 years ago. he is so good at what he does. i recommend you get all of his cd's

wonderful sound. received item in a timely manner. can't go wrong with his cds.

Prior to owning this CD, I had picked up a number of Brian Culbertson's later efforts and enjoyed all of them. But as I go back to the beginning, I find out just how good he's been all along and that the high quality of his later releases is no accident. This CD is terrific.

Right from the outset, the tunes are good and show what I would later see - lots of nice smooth tunes along with just the right kind of up-tempo songs, like the title cut, mixed in. "Beyond the Frontier" is the best song on here, although the beautiful "Alone With You" isn't far behind and the final song, "Changing Tides" is another winner.

This CD are a masterpiece of contemporary jazz. Brilliant and extraordinary work.Brian Culbertson is a visionary and great musician.

What can I say???? I've heard a lot of his latest. Then when I heard THIS CD. I heard songs that I've heard previously and enjoyed-not knowing it was Brian! A truly delightful CD that sets the tone for relaxing!!!

Excellent CD, but then, I love all of Brian Culbertson's music.
