Группа 'Pieces of a Dream' (' Частички Мечты ') была образована в 1976 году в Филадельфии (Пенсильвания, США), когда все ее основные участники были еще подростками. Костяк группы составили: Cedric Napoleon (Седрик Наполеон) (басист), Curtis Harmon (Кертис Хармон) (барабанщик), James Lloyd (Джеймс Ллойд) (клавишник). Grover Washington, Jr. (Гровер Уошингтон младший) стал продюсером первых трех альбомов, выпущенных на лейбле Elektra (1981-1983). В состав группы в разное время входили музыканты: Lance Webb (лидер-вокал), Randall Bowland (гитара), Vincent Davis (синтезаторы) и Norwood (вокал). Саксофонист Ron Kerber стал участником в 1990-х. Кроме того, в записях альбомов постоянно принимают участие приглашенные артисты. Так Трейси Хэмлин была ведущей вокалисткой группы с 2002 до 2005 и участвовала в записи двух альбомов (Love Silhouette и No Assembly Required). Ева Кэссиди спела лидер-вокал в двух песнях на Goodbye Manhattan: балладе "Have a Little Faith" и в заглавной песне. На данный момент в постоянный состав группы входят Джеймс Ллойд и Кертис Хармон. Первоначально несколько сориентированная на джазовую музыку, группа главным образом стала известна как исполнительница музыки в стиле R&B, хотя они постоянно включали несколько джазовых композиций в свои альбомы, а в последние годы окончательно сконцентрировались на smooth jazz .

Review
Pieces Of A Dream still sound wonderful after all these years -- definitely still at the top of the soulful fusion genre they virtually helped create a few decades back -- working with a bit more bite than most of the younger artists who've gone ahead and stolen their vibe. The core groove here still comes from drummer Curtis Harmon and keyboardist James Lloyd -- layered nicely with additional sax, guitar, and a bit more keyboards from a range of other players -- but always kept nice and lean, and never sanded too smooth to push these guys into the sleepier side of the spectrum. There's still a very classic feel to the Pieces Of A Dream groove here -- and even when tunes are mellow, there's a nice bit of a kick. Titles include "Hindsight", "Soul Intent", "Vision Accomplished", "Sway On", "D Fuse The Situation", "Stand Up", "Anywhere You Are", and "Step On It". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
