On this new release, the groups co-founders, keyboardist <b>James Lloyd<\/b> and drummer <b>Curtis Harmon<\/b> are joined by a group of top-flight sidemen including bassist <b>Gerald Veasley<\/b> and saxophonist <b>Eddie Baccus, Jr.<\/b>. The groove is in full effect here on the Urban AC\/flavored &#8220;Turning it up&#8221;, &#8220;Mission Possible&#8221;, &#8220;Savoir Faire&#8221; and &#8220;Mystical Perception&#8221;. &#8220;I Feel Like Singin&#8221; is a sweet, upbeat love song with a cameo background appearance by <b>Joe McBride<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>  The Gospel flavored &#8220;Remembrance (9\/11\/01)&#8221; is a eloquent and poetic tribute to that fateful day. &#8220;Peaceful Dreams&#8221; is aptly named, rolling along on Lloyd&#8217;s keyboards this is my favorite track on the CD. The horns are well placed and the melody is very appealing.   The remake of the classic &#8220;My Funny Valentine&#8221; is ambitious, and successful with it&#8217;s smoky feel, sweet vocals and strong bass work from <b>Gerald Veasley<\/b>. At this rate Pieces of a Dream should be around for another 25 years.   <\/font><\/p>\n<p>                <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pieces of a Dream Love&#8217;s Silhouette(Peak &#8211; 2002) by Carmen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4969\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
