*Pieces of a Dream* Comprised of bassist Cedric Napoleon, drummer Curtis Harmon, and keyboardist James Lloyd, Pieces of a Dream were founded in 1975 in Philadelphia when the principal members were all teenagers. Originally somewhat jazz-oriented, Pieces of a Dream have mostly emphasized R&B, although they usually include a few jazz numbers in their performances. Grover Washington, Jr. produced their first three albums (all for Elektra during 1981-1983); they have since recorded for Manhattan and Blue Note. Saxophonist Ron Kerber became a member in the 1990s, preceding the four varied releases that appeared throughout the decade. A collection appeared at the turn of the century, but the band proved to still be going strong with 2001's _Acquainted with the Night_ and 2002's _Love's Silhouette_. _No Assembly Required_ was released in 2004 on Cleveland's Heads Up label, followed by 2006's _Pillow Talk_, also on Heads Up. Just this past February, the group released they newest album _Soul Intent_. 2009-06-23T12:42:18-04:00 false #<Genre:0x2a9b3ef4c0> 1 Smooth Cruise - Pieces of a Dream 20 The last cruise of the summer! true 2009-06-23T12:38:00-04:00 Smooth Cruise - Pieces of a Dream false 2009-06-23T12:42:18-04:00
