 Notes  
     Bassist Cedric Napoleon, drummer Curtis Harmon, and keyboardist
     James Lloyd founded crossover jazz group Pieces Of A Dream in
     Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were teenagers at the time of their
     1976 formation. Though jazz-based, the group also emphasized R&B and
     incorporated funk, quiet storm, hip-hop, new jack swing, and smooth
     jazz into their recordings, which often featured vocalists
     (including Barbara Walker, Eva Cassidy, and Maysa Leak).
     Grover Washington, Jr. produced their first three albums - "Pieces
     Of A Dream", "We Are One", and "Imagine This" - all of which were
     released on Elektra from 1981 through 1983. Three additional '80s
     releases, including a pair co-produced by Lenny White, appeared on
     EMI-Manhattan. Saxophonist Ron Kerber became a member in the '90s -
     an addition that preceded varied releases throughout that decade for
     Blue Note.
     In the early 2000s, Pieces Of A Dream moved to Cleveland's Heads Up
     label, where they remained for a decade. Their studio effort, "In
     The Moment", appeared on Shanachie in 2013. Two years later, Pieces
     Of A Dream celebrated their 40th Anniversary with the release of
     "All In". In 2017, they delivered their 22nd studio album, "Just
     Funkin' Around".
     "Goodbye Manhattan", released by Blue Note Records in 1995, is one
     of Pieces Of A Dream's better efforts. Saxophonist Ron Kerber looks
     toward Grover Washington, Jr., (on soprano) and David Sanborn
     (during his alto spots) for inspiration and the keyboardists recall
     Ramsey Lewis but, even with the inclusion of a few throwaway rhythm
     tracks and some Eva Cassidy pop vocals, some of these selections do
     contain strong improvising within the R&B genre.
