Pieces of a Dream

This is another smooth jazz group that I think gets over looked often. The piano player is amazing. Absolutly. If you listen to thier music, you cannot help but to give "the face" I've talked about so many times. The stuff is just so ridiculously hot.

The consistently put out stuff that is good. It has a same difference to it if that makes any sense. Their pieces have a uniqueness about them that you pretty much know that it is Pieces of a Dream but every album sounds different

I think what makes them so good is they know how to mix the piano with R&B rhythms... a lot of people claim that they do this...but not so. Most people just infuse R&B elements... but they have the whole package. And somehow they do not lose the smooth jazzness. Stix Bones is one who uses R&B and Hip Hop rhythms but his music sounds undeniably like R&B and Hip Hop. Somehow Pieces of a Dream are able to mix the piano with the sax and beats JUST right that it is an amalgamation of both.

What prompted this is because while listening to Pandora, I heard a song of theirs I had never heard. Turning it Up. Hotness... loving it.
