Two of the highest profile keyboardists in contemporary jazz join together for a completely unique pairing. Playing two acoustic grand pianos, Benoit and Culbertson will perform some of their best known compositions along with original music they've collaborated on specifically for this project. Combining these two very distinctive styles in
an acoustic setting will make for a new and exciting concert experience... sure to ignite some unexpected sparks!

Brian and David got together to arrange their familiar hits just using their pianos, which turned into something they never expected. In addition to the double pianos, the musicians will incorporate a few other instruments like an acoustic bass, strings and the sax.

Brian Culbertson (born January 12, 1973) is a smooth jazz musician and instrumentalist from Decatur, Illinois. Son of jazz band director and trumpeter Jim Culbertson, Brian's instruments include the keyboard and trombone. Heavily influenced by funk, much of Culbertson's material is funk-based instrumental, but in recent years has called upon vocalists such as Trey Lorenz, Kenny Lattimore, Will Downing, Faith Evans, and Avant, to add to his pieces.

David Benoit (born May 9, 1953) is an American jazz fusion / contemporary jazz pianist, composer and producer, who is from Los Angeles, California. He has been nominated for five GRAMMY® Awards. His GRP debut album Freedom At Midnight was his biggest seller and most popular album. Benoit also says that it was his favorite album to produce, because it was when "everything came together," as he stated in an interview on smoothviews.com.
