- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Founded in 1975 by James K. Lloyd (keyboards), Cedric Napoleon (bass) and Curtis Harmon (drums), they performed all over Philadelphia as 'Classic Touch', 'A Touch of Class', and 'Galaxy'. The group changed their name to 'Pieces Of A Dream' in 1979, a nod to “Pieces of Dreams,” a Stanley Turrentine tune that the group performed. They were discovered by Grover Washington, Jr. whilst performing as the house band on TV show "City Lights". Grover went on to produce their first three albums Pieces of a Dream, We Are One and Imagine This. Soon after completing Joyride, their last effort for Elektra, they moved to EMI/Blue Note and went on to record seven more albums. During this period, the group amicably parted ways with long time friend Cedric Napoleon. Signed with Heads Up International in 2001 and have so far released four albums: Acquainted with the Night, Love's Silhouette, No Assembly Required and Pillow Talk.
Personnel currently consist of Lloyd, Harmon, Eddie Baccus Jr.(saxophone), Todd Parsnow (guitar) and Tracy Hamlin (vocals).
Were (and still are) managed by the drummer’s father and uncle, Danny and Bill Harmon, respectively. - discogs

Yeah some very good year's and thanks for this
Thanks for these Real musicians !! They don’t exist like this anymore 😢
Yes. Music is extinct.
Yes they do. I know a ton of them...and those three are still alive.

@@kalaika69 What do you mean by relevant... important?
Killer group. I remember when I first heard them as a kid in the early 80s.
Playing this gem during the holidays and beyond. What a treat thanks #reelblack. 👍🏽
Happy holidays!
I'm 36 and I love listening to Pieces Of A Dream.
I remember this group from when I lived in Philly some 30 yrs ago. They were definitely a sensation back then. 🎶
Nice
The first track I have the album, I had to purchase it twice, my Dad was a Jazz collector & he heard me playing this track over & over again, I was 14 when I bought the album, the album went missing, a few years later I purchased the album again. Fast forward to 2009 my Dad passed away & all I wanted was his record collection, he collected Jazz, ska, rocksteady & reggae as my Father was Jamaican & ran a sound system when he came here to the U.K. in 1961.
After digging through my Dads collection I found my original Pieces of a Dream album with his Jazz records, I think he was fascinated how young these brilliant artists were. This is the first time me seeing them play live, so nuff love to Reelback One as this reminds me of my Dad so thank you , instant subscriber .🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I just love ❤️ Pieces of a Dream!
🕯 Cedric Napoleon 🕯

That’s actually where our name came from. We even got to play that song with Stanley Turrentine. 🎹
Fo Fi Fo!
Thank you Reelblack for sharing this group in concert. I've never seen any footage of them so this is a real treat. 💜💜💜
This is great, what a treat. Thank you.
Massive Gratitude
I saw these dudes in the fall of 1982 on the campus of Talladega College. They were wearing nike Air Force ones with the ankle strips !! They were so Kool!!
WTF! MY first time hearing POD play "straight ahead Jazz." I've only heard the "foe five foe" "Warm Weather",Mt. Airy Groove" contemporary flavor of their music. Thanks for posting. SOLID 🤟🏿
The time I heard you play that song over 36 years ago in D C. At contitution Hall Cedric is a funky bass player
Oh my goodness. This is so nice. I've seen them live a few times but just being in my 40s THIS is a real treat. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome
Genius level talent are these children. Incredible. Was anyone bring more life, modernity or emotion to these standards than this group? Not likely.
Thank you reelblack! This mini- concert is what I needed to decompress after a long week!
I've never heard of this group before. I thought they were somebody else when I downloaded an hour long musical act. What a surprise, I absolutely love jazz.
Jazz is not technical it's imprived it moves with the spirit and the feelings not technical
thank you for uploading
Well, Reelblack, now you’ve done it! You’ve made me 😭! Happy tears, happy tears. But NOBODY makes me cry!
LOVE you, & thanks again. 🖤💖♥️🖤💖😂😅🥰💐👍🏽🎶♥️
You’re welcome 😇
A 'rarity'! Witnessing 3 musicians; actually performing while playing instruments.
I saw them at the front row in cleveland opening for Grover twice in the 80’s
Thanks for this. Black music, Black American culture. We used to have Malcolm X and now we have Lil Nas X. But we can look back and remember when we were better
How cool, the video currently has “454” likes. 🎹
Isiyo na wakati..
I remember the song the year Philadelphia 76ers won the championship and Moses Malone said they going to win 454
Moses Malone is actually on the recording saying Fo-Fi-Fo. 🎹
It’s all about love! E W & F.
Martin Luther King class of 82 stand up!
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I do not think they understood his version of shadow of your smile it was off the charts
my fav song by them is say la la but i dont think its in this set
The drum player also played in the band chick
Excuse me?
Love this concert! I posted it a few years ago, with each song posted as a separate clip (dated as "1984", which might be wrong!). For example, check out Fo-Fi-Fo here (ruclips.net/video/So4SO-TK_Io/видео.html). This is a great classic; glad that you've posted it as a full concert.
Yes it’s a great show.

Raahubatt 🤘🏿🏆🤘🏿🏆
Loving this Already. Thank You reelblack
This group seems way too much led by the piano. He needs to hold back and give a lot more solo space to the bassist and drummer! He's got too dominance in the group, Tge piano is doing way to much! Piano playing!
