Great show in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Blown away by Culbertson--what a showman and talented musician. David Benoit may be the most graceful jazz artist alive. We could have listened all night.

I was very pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the concert hall and saw the size of it.
We sat on the 4th row in the middle and I was a little worried about what the music might sound like so close. Everything was Fantabulous!!!! I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone. We were able to meet David and Brian. We had a wonderful time.

This show provided an excellent opportunity to see one of the Masters of today's contemporary jazz in David Benofit. I also enjoyed the introduction to Brian Culbertson. The future of the genre' is in good hands.

IMO, David Benoit can be considered the Dave Brubek of our time. His songs bring an original sound that surprises and delights the listener.

The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall provided a wonderful environment in which to enjoy an intimate show.

My only knock, however, was the sound quality of the pianos. I thought the sound was shrill and tinny and not at all representative of the potential the Steinways could provide.

All things considered, I would definitely recommend this show - hopefully with better audio set up.

Putting together old school and new school was an interesting combination. I'm always amazed at Brian's talent. You can't help but enjoy watching this guy perform.
The PVCH is a great venue; up-close and personal. I want to thank them for bringing top talent to our area.

David Benoit and Brian Culbertson played fantastic dueling pianos! I have discovered Brian Culbertson and will be a fan of his. His piano playing is creative and he adds fun to his concerts. David Benoit is a master pianist and with Brian's young creativity, this concert was amazing! The acoustics at the Ponte Vedra Hall were perfect, the seating was great. I have no complaints about this concert. The ushers were friendly and the concert hall provides a full bar service. If you want a big concert arena the Ponte Vedra Concert hall is not it. The hall is a smaller venue which offers an intimate experience with the artists.

Individually these two masters of contemporary jazz would be great to see in person, but getting both of them on stage at once was simply fantastic. I've only seen Benoit once in concert, maybe 25 years ago in Tampa, and had never seen Culbertson. Been following Culbertson's music since the early-90's and have really enjoyed his style of play. David is the wizened veteran performer who just plays his stuff without too much personal flair, but Brian is a a real showman. He lets his energetic personality and enthusiasm for the piano come through during the performance. I thoroughly enjoyed this concert (as did just about everyone in attendance) and I would happily go see them perform again.

They referred to this as their Piano-To-Piano tour because they had two pianos back-to-back. Their song selection was a mix of each of their individual classics but redone for two simultaneous pianists. They were simply fantastic and if you get a chance, definitely see them.

We managed to arrive safely after weathering 3 separate rain storms and a terrible MVA on Interstate 40! the show was worth every intense moment attempting to arrive safely.
The selections were awesome and the artists compliment each other so very well. What an awesome and gifted duo they are! "Piano 2 Piano" would certainly be worth attending again. Numerous "bouncing" heads and standing ovations.
