These young brothers out of Philadelphia are nothing but graceful and amazing in their style and present on stage a melodic sound unlike anything ever heard in the world of jazz fusion
I thought quincy Jones did it first???? Featuring Patti austin....but u go pieces o a dream...my numbers"""" fo fa fo"""...but this rendition is very real.....peace World
@kurtgant8748 Al Sr. James Lloyd excelente su trabajo en los teclados e visto conciertos en youtube de 1980 en un concierto de jazz en Japón con el Sr. Grover washington Jr. Que tengo la fortuna de tener un vinyl WINELIGTH es el album es una exquisitez escucharlo aunque su música no fue de mi época por que yo nací en el 82 pero tengo muchos años comprando música cd, vinyl para escucharlos en un tornamesa es la mejor música el jazz blues, la ópera, veo estos videos y pienso por que no me tocó esa época y veo a las personas en esos conciertos y digo que maravilla me imagino estar ahí entre las personas de hecho en un concierto de Fat domino sale una chica digo esta sería mi reacción si estuviera en ese momento de disfrutar.
I love just the originals, Cedric Napoleon, James Lloyd and Curt Harmon. Mind you, these cats were only 18, and already three albums under their belt.....!
One of the best jazz bands of the 80’s, this track in particular is their best in my opinion and brings back great musical memories from that era, would love to see them live. Loving the Jupiter 8 and Rhodes! great musical combination.
I had a chance to open for these guys in the '80s, once in Dayton and once in Rochester. They were mature beyond their years and were excellent musicians both individually and collectively. Thanks for the great post.
I bought this album back in 1983 and I played this cut constantly I got to say this is my first time hearing it live and my goodness this is amazing just pure talent these guys are just amazing!!
The great Cedric Napoleon! The amazing thing is that Cedric could also really SING - check out another clip from this concert (th-cam.com/video/So4SO-TK_Io/w-d-xo.html)

@@duanejohnson4383 Agreed sir, but what has changed completely is the Grammy Awards, for instance, that was supposed to be NOT about popularity and trendiness. "Song-of-the-year" awards were about SONGWRITING, not "production/vocals/videos/choreography/ rapping," don't you think?
@@ronrobbins2737 what you don't know about the Grammys is that artists need to submit their works to be considered. And most of the time, your favorite artists don't do so.

They kept it 4/4 time more less for the crowd because these brothers could play in just about any time signature even as young as they were during this performance.
🗣️🗣️🗣️PIECES OF A DREAM! A band with their own unique spices and flavours! This track is one of my favorites!❤🎉❤🎉❤

Wow! Just Wow!
These young brothers did Herbie Hancock proud back then and still today!!👍🏾💯
Indeed, they did

@@genevareynolds7304 Quincy did his version nearly a decade after Herbie wrote it
@@pastense thanks for the info..💯
@@pastense Like Quincy's version the best but this is also wonderful.
Grown folk's Music, real instruments and real music!
One of favorite versions of this song. Was fortunate enough to see them live a few times. James Lloyd is amazing on keyboards

😘 Wow ... 👌
Exactly! They were young musical genius, indeed.
Don’t forget my brother James Lloyd who is the meat to the potatoes! That brother is a beast.. Grover knew what he was doing!
@@Naesman1167 I corrected myself. I meant James Lloyd, not James Harmon. Thanks.
They getting it straight raw talent effortless. Super underrated
One of my favorite groups of all time! Their musical maturity and skill were way beyond their ages!!!!!
I enjoyed this as much as the original from the Quincy Jones "Sounds and Stuff" album and I just listened to that before this !
Umm, the "Original' is by Herbie Hancock, not Quincy. His version is a cover as well
Original is from Herbies Fat Albert Rotunda 1969
I can't conceive the thought of anyone giving this masterful performance a thumbs down. Mind boggling.
Wow, I hadn’t even noticed the thumbs downs. Totally nuts - They were so great!

It's an Arp Quadra I think,not Jup 8 although that is an amazing board!
@@lousehr so phat!!! Analog at its finest
@@lousehr Yes, that is a Jupiter 8 up there...
WOW They were so young and killing it back then!! I love my brothers!!
I always thought this was Ramsey Lewis! DUH... one of my favorite groups of all time in any genre.

Better you did cuz I would hate to have to follow them
What a talented group of musicians🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶
Ok somebody better recognize these brothas are throwing down some straight heat!
I bought this album back in 1983 and I played this cut constantly I got to say this is my first time hearing it live and my goodness this is amazing just pure talent these guys are just amazing!!
A very welcome distraction during this pandemic. I love Pieces of a Dream. 9/20/2020
Sick! I'm blown away!
Pieces of dream version is great, smooth, stylish, we talking young brothers out of Philadelphia.
You're right I believe from the Mount Airy section of Philly.
Man is he tearing up that synthesizer!!! Would love to learn to play like that!!!
Thats Roland Jupiter 8 James playing
Who You Telling Brotha! He’s Bad on Them Synth Keys 🎹
Mr James Lloyd at his very best on keys in Pieces Of a Dream
Was thinking the same thing ... 🎼🎶
@KillerQueen Huh?
Big shout out to the bass player
The great Cedric Napoleon! The amazing thing is that Cedric could also really SING - check out another clip from this concert (th-cam.com/video/So4SO-TK_Io/w-d-xo.html)
Who sadly died 2 months ago aged 61
Keyboard player is so busy (lol) . Nice groove !!
Great sound, so very well played
Another nice one ... 💕🎹
So much CHORUS (Love it)
I'm old enough that i remember seeing this performance on cable the same year, im 62, 23 or 24 then seems like a lifetime ago.
Incredible tune ‼
James Loyd great player
Fantastic pianist. Only 19 at the time and even looking a bit like a young Herbie Hancock.
Pisces of dream first time I heard them was at a little jazz club in Redondo Beach, what a performance, and that I will never forget.
Magic stuff from the Pieces of a Dream
Thanks for the upload, bostonjazz80
Glad you enjoyed this! One of my favorite concerts ever.
Gosh they were so young!!
PARENTS!!!!! PLEASE - PLEASE GIVE YOUR CHILD OR ANY CHILD AN INSTRUMENT..... THIS IS THE REASON WHY!!!!!!
Indeed
Indeed
Classy.
Simply wonderful.
Love it ❤
Pure Magic
Sweet!!! 💯
Classic!!!!!
Check out their version of “Careless Whisper”
Absolutely brilliant!!!!
I saw them also in 1984 ! They were great ! The girl I brought with me, not so great😢
They certainly did it justice
thanks for posting.
40 years ago!
James Lloyd channeling Herbie Hancock.. The original guys did Philly proud…
Sweet baby cheeses ... not just telling a bedtime story. Testifying!
This is "Tell me a Bedtime Story" by Herbe Hancock. Great version here!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your help.
I think Cedric is a better bass player than David
James Lloyd Looks Like He Could Pass For A Young "Kenny Kirkland"🎹 🙏P.R.I.H.P KK!!
Cuentame un cuento antes de acostarse.
Damn, my dudes!!!
I always love these brothers
when people had the patience and didn't need to be hyper active for a concert.
Jazz concerts have always been this way, including present time. They are the only concerts I will attend.
Why did such musical taste and artistry all but disappear? Nowadays we have no-talent rappers winning all the so-called "music" awards, so sad !
Yes, they were brilliant musicians and charismatic and classy performers. Love this concert!

play on my brothers.
NUYCE!!!
❤❤❤
Bring bacc Cedric, we miss him...
Cedric Napoleon recently passed away.
🥰🥰
🤩😃
When did they add Chris Bosh on guitar?!
I don't Know But That's Randy Bowland on guitar
@@howagarn Never knew Randy played with them! Great history lesson!
Measure of the bridge is 5/4.
They make it simple 4/4.
Don't know why
Most players that aren't full blown jazz artists have a hard time playing odd time signatures.
They kept it 4/4 time more less for the crowd because these brothers could play in just about any time signature even as young as they were during this performance.
I can't believe how much music sucks now, truly heartbreaking after hearing this performance. 🤭
They really had something to say but Smooth Jazz forced a bunch of great acts to crossover to survive. Such a shame but that’s life.
あれ？ハービーハンコック？
