For those unaware, acclaimed jazz artist Brian Culbertson is set to release his highly anticipated new album, Day Trip, on September 26th, 2025.

The project showcases Culbertson’s genre-bending artistry and features an all-star lineup of collaborators, blending contemporary jazz, funk, fusion, and deeply soulful grooves into a vibrant musical journey.

In support of the release Culbertson will be heading out on the “Day Trip Tour,” with the first leg kicking off October 17th making stops in 27 major cities across the country. The tour promises a high-energy, captivating live experience led by Culbertson with a 10-piece band.

“With Day Trip, I wanted to go back to how the records that shaped me were made - no computer sequencing, no shortcuts - just real instruments and live takes in the studio,” said Culbertson. “I brought in some of the best musicians in the world to make this album different from anything I had ever done before. Compositionally and sonically this album is a total adventure, which is how I came up with the title, Day Trip.”

On an album where fans get a delightful taste of the energy and innovation that defines the new record from the very off, Brian opens his brilliantly impassioned new album on sparkling Morning Light (feat. Eric Marienthal) and the grooved On The Road (feat. Marcus Miller & Sheila E.) and then we get the smooth Let’s Drive, the low slung balladry of With You (feat. Isaiah Sharkey) and then the funky U-Turn (feat. Branford Marsalis) is brought forth.

Along next is the quietly driven By Your Side and the gently embracing wafts of melodicism within In The Vines (feat. Kirk Whalum), which are in turn backed by the intriguingly sculpted The Winding Path (feat. Mike Stern), the decadent Sunset Kiss, the set rounding out on the upbeat and joyful A Hundred Miles (feat. Randy Brecker & Eric Marienthal), closing on the subtle piano masterclass shown within the heartfelt ballad Home Again.
