Album Description

The traditional rhythm, blues, and jazz foundation that first birthed modern rock in the 1960s is no longer. The requisite horn section, once signature to Big Bands of decades past, is now obsolete. Selectric Records' latest signing, super-charged phenomenon Cross Culture, is one of several up-and-coming bands to synthesize music's past and present, resulting in a contemporary rock-funk sound. The band showcases this growing trend on its debut label project, Proof Positive.

Self-described as eclectic and energetic, deep and intricate, it's difficult to pinpoint any single source of Cross Culture's musical influence. "Our versatile sound goes hand in hand with the band's name," comments singer and songwriter Justin David. "We cross traditional cultural boundaries by mixing standard rock with touches of funk and Latin groove."

Produced by Grammy-winning duo John and Dino Elefante, Proof Positive kicks off in signature Cross Culture fashion with the full-throttle, seize-the-moment anthem "This Moment in Time." The album maintains unwavering momentum from one danceable track to the next, including stand-out song and first music video, "Swing." To temper the album's overall intensity, Cross Culture includes a jazzy, melodic tune, "The Way It Should Be," which speaks of hope in trying times. Among Cross Culture's most musically diverse cuts is "Wave," an effective amalgamation of surf rock, Latin horns and rap. The hybrid style of "Wave" successfully relates its universal message about perseverance amidst life's ups and downs. This seems to be the pervading theme of Proof Positive, that absolute brokenness can breed strong, effective new beginnings.

Amazing.......2006-03-03

Proof Positive. Is just that Proof that good music is still around. I bought this album and I must say, I am impressed from start to finish. My favorite songs are Moment in time and She Wont.

Quality Popular Music.......2006-02-09

Unlike a lot of modern "pop" music that comes out today, this album is truely unique but not weird and unpleasant to the ear. Cross Culture proves that quality music can be catchy while still maintaining artistic integrity.

The opening track "This Moment in Time" sets the tone for the rest of the record with heartfelt lyrics complimented by top notch musical accompaniment. "Extraordinary" and "She Won't" are likely to become radio hits with their easily remebered choruses and melodies.

The band, in general, cannot be put into a single style category. While they will generally be thought as "rock", their styles range from funk to latin.

The track "Total Addiction" has a very hip hop feel and opens with a groove unlike any other song on the recording.

Overall, the recording is a very solid freshman release. Conosiuers of varying musical styles will find something to hear in this recording.

J.J. solos at his hard driving, infectious best........1999-04-17

I first picked up this album on vinyl (mono no less) well over 30 years ago. I still have and cherish it. I was an aspiring trombonist, and as a kid I'd heard about J.J. Johnson. He was the best there was with a slide. The jazz I heard was infectious, lively, inspiring. J.J. gives us some of the finest trombone improvizations I've ever heard in my many years of listening to jazz. I still can't play trombone, but I know a great one when it's played. This is it!

Just turn down the lights, turn up the volume or put on the headphones. Immerse yourself in the building, swelling interpretation J.J. gives. Like good classical music, this isn't simply to be "heard" as background music. Dive into it and let it take you for the ride of your life. His work on Neo, Minor Blues and Blues Waltz are unforgettable.
