Brian Culbertson's XII ranks high positions

R&B/Jazz Multi-Instrumentalist Brian Culbertson Debuts on Billboard Top 200 Chart with His Highest Charting Release

Brian Culbertson's twelfth album, simply titled XII, was recently released on GRP Records/Verve and became the highest charting record of his career, debuting at #82 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, #9 on the R&B charts and #79 on the Current Chart. 

XII also sits squarely at the #1 spot on the Contemporary Jazz Chart, his fourth #1 record. In addition to his sales success, his single "Skies Wide Open" featuring Avant is #16 on both Adult R&B and Urban AC radio charts. His other single "That's Life" was the #1 most added single in the Smooth Jazz format.

Culbertson commemorates his twelfth release with 12 new songs that continue to reflect his broad-ranging musicality and mastery of intimate moods. The titles swing from the rich love ballad "Skies Wide Open" (featuring R&B singing star Avant) to an an all-out Go-Go party jam titled "Feelin' It" (featuring the man who put Washington, D.C. Go-Go music on the map, Chuck Brown in addition to a comedic appearance by Sinbad).
