[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dubbed the “Steely Dan of smooth jazz” by All About Jazz and praised by JazzTimes Magazine for their “consistently winning contemporary jazz,” Pieces Of A Dream has been churning out chart-topping hits for four consecutive decades. Even the iconic Count Basie declared Pieces Of A Dream “A tough act to follow!”
Hailing from The City of Brotherly Love, the celebrated band has joined the ranks of some of Philadelphia’s most revered music-makers including Grover Washington, Jr., Patti LaBelle, The Roots, Jill Scott, John Coltrane and Stanley Clarke. Throughout their illustrious career, childhood friends James Lloyd and Curtis Harmon have managed to stay true to their mission. “I don’t feel the vision for Pieces has changed at all,” explains Lloyd. “It’s a very simple one, to spread peace through our gift of music.” Curtis Harmon adds, “The band has changed a lot from 1976 to now. I mean just think about it – when we started we were only three, now we’re seven!” Pieces Of A Dream, whose name is inspired by 
Pittsburgh tenor titan Stanley Turrentine’s song “Pieces Of Dreams,” remains one of the architects of contemporary jazz and has no plans of slowing down. “Our fans keep us alive and kicking,” declares Harmon. May 24, 2019 Shanachie Entertainment will release On Another Note, Pieces Of A Dream’s 24th recording. “We’re back folks with one more to add to your collection,” says James Lloyd. “I hope the new music shows the passion we put into the performances on this project and our constant drive to improve on everything we deliver to our fans.”
Pieces Of A Dream has toured the world, sold over one million albums, and scored both Smooth Jazz and R&B radio hits along the way. Curtis Harmon reflects, “So far our fans and the DJs seem cool with what we have been doing so I say if the recipe works, keep cookin’ with it!” Crowned “Pioneers of Smooth Jazz” by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Pieces Of A Dream’s longevity is a testament to the brotherhood shared between James Lloyd and Curtis Harmon. On Another Note was truly a labor of love. Lloyd shares, “These songs very much reflect both of our hearts and vibes. I believe we are all products of our environment and if one creates music from the heart it contains all of their emotions.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
