Pieces of a Dream: Just Funkin' Around
by Jeff Winbush
It would be the easiest thing to say about the new Pieces of A Dream record, &#;If you already like Pieces of A Dream, you'll probably like this. If you don't, you won't." That would be real easy. It would also be real accurate. I road-tested Just Funkin' Around with a bunch of somethings I was transporting from home back to college. I put it on and waited.

Comprised of bassist Cedric Napoleon, drummer Curtis Harmon, and keyboardist James Lloyd, Pieces of a Dream were founded in in Philadelphia when the principal members were all teenagers.

No Assembly Required was released in on Cleveland&#;s Heads Up label, followed by &#;s Pillow Talk, also on Heads Up. ~ Scott Yanow

Pieces of a Dream emerged out of Philadelphia’s music scene in Keyboardist James Lloyd, drummer Curtis Harmon and former bassist Cedric Napoleon, were (and still are) managed by the drummer’s father and uncle, Danny and Bill Harmon, respectively.

Long before the “Young Lions” era of Wynton Marsalis, Lloyd and Harmon were swinging so hard as teenagers that the great Count Basie once proclaimed them “a tough act to follow.”
But it was another jazz legend, the late Grover Washington Jr., the sax man who made Philadelphia his home, who helped Pieces of a Dream become the internationally known stars they are today.
After quickly becoming popular around Philadelphia, the trio landed a spot as the house band for a local television show called City Lights. Their experience widened as they played backup on the broadcasts to a wide variety of artists, and that’s where Washington first heard them. One day
