- Founded in 1975 by James K. Lloyd (keyboards), Cedric Napoleon (bass) and Curtis Harmon (drums), they performed all over Philadelphia as 'Classic Touch', 'A Touch of Class', and 'Galaxy'. The group changed their name to 'Pieces Of A Dream' in 1979, a nod to “Pieces of Dreams,” a Stanley Turrentine tune that the group performed. They were discovered by Grover Washington, Jr. whilst performing as the house band on TV show "City Lights". Grover went on to produce their first three albums Pieces of a Dream, We Are One and Imagine This. Soon after completing Joyride, their last effort for Elektra, they moved to EMI/Blue Note and went on to record seven more albums. During this period, the group amicably parted ways with long time friend Cedric Napoleon. Signed with Heads Up International in 2001 and have so far released four albums: Acquainted with the Night, Love's Silhouette, No Assembly Required and Pillow Talk.
Personnel currently consist of Lloyd, Harmon, Eddie Baccus Jr.(saxophone), Todd Parsnow (guitar) and Tracy Hamlin (vocals).
Were (and still are) managed by the drummer’s father and uncle, Danny and Bill Harmon, respectively. - discogs

Great music. Future generations need to be trained to play like this. Thanks.
Does not make sense the way that young man play that piano especially on shadow of your smile
The first track I have the album, I had to purchase it twice, my Dad was a Jazz collector & he heard me playing this track over & over again, I was 14 when I bought the album, the album went missing, a few years later I purchased the album again. Fast forward to 2009 my Dad passed away & all I wanted was his record collection, he collected Jazz, ska, rocksteady & reggae as my Father was Jamaican & ran a sound system when he came here to the U.K. in 1961.
After digging through my Dads collection I found my original Pieces of a Dream album with his Jazz records, I think he was fascinated how young these brilliant artists were. This is the first time me seeing them play live, so nuff love to Reelback One as this reminds me of my Dad so thank you , instant subscriber .🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Rest in Power Cedric 🕊️💔🙏🏽 I will always cherish our friendship and musical memories. You are one of the most talented musicians the world will ever know. 🎶🎵 Much love to Curtis and James as well. You all are forever in my ❤
I remember this group from when I lived in Philly some 30 yrs ago. They were definitely a sensation back then. 🎶
Nice
Jazz is not technical it's imprived it moves with the spirit and the feelings not technical
Love their MISTER MAGIC version, RIP GROVER WASHINGTON JR.

Thank you Reelblack for sharing this group in concert. I've never seen any footage of them so this is a real treat. 💜💜💜
WTF! MY first time hearing POD play "straight ahead Jazz." I've only heard the "foe five foe" "Warm Weather",Mt. Airy Groove" contemporary flavor of their music. Thanks for posting. SOLID 🤟🏿
Oh my goodness. This is so nice. I've seen them live a few times but just being in my 40s THIS is a real treat. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome

Never heard of them
But "Pieces of Dreams" is my favorite Stanley Turentine album.
Thanks..great band🌹💯
That’s actually where our name came from. We even got to play that song with Stanley Turrentine. 🎹
Genius level talent are these children. Incredible. Was anyone bring more life, modernity or emotion to these standards than this group? Not likely.

Fo Fi Fo!
Thank you reelblack! This mini- concert is what I needed to decompress after a long week!
The time I heard you play that song over 36 years ago in D C. At contitution Hall Cedric is a funky bass player
This is great, what a treat. Thank you.

Thanks for this. Black music, Black American culture. We used to have Malcolm X and now we have Lil Nas X. But we can look back and remember when we were better

Playing this gem during the holidays and beyond. What a treat thanks #reelblack. 👍🏽
Happy holidays!
Killer group. I remember when I first heard them as a kid in the early 80s.
I've never heard of this group before. I thought they were somebody else when I downloaded an hour long musical act. What a surprise, I absolutely love jazz.
thank you for uploading
A 'rarity'! Witnessing 3 musicians; actually performing while playing instruments.
I remember the song the year Philadelphia 76ers won the championship and Moses Malone said they going to win 454
Moses Malone is actually on the recording saying Fo-Fi-Fo. 🎹
It’s all about love! E W & F.
Yeah some very good year's and thanks for this
that bass solo is the best I ever seen by far
I saw these dudes in the fall of 1982 on the campus of Talladega College. They were wearing nike Air Force ones with the ankle strips !! They were so Kool!!
Isiyo na wakati..
How cool, the video currently has “454” likes. 🎹
Great band i have this album and they're debut
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I saw them at the front row in cleveland opening for Grover twice in the 80’s
Love this concert! I posted it a few years ago, with each song posted as a separate clip (dated as "1984", which might be wrong!). For example, check out Fo-Fi-Fo here (th-cam.com/video/So4SO-TK_Io/w-d-xo.html). This is a great classic; glad that you've posted it as a full concert.
Yes it’s a great show.
my fav song by them is say la la but i dont think its in this set
❤hello
Oooo its fo
fi fo
I do not think they understood his version of shadow of your smile it was off the charts
Raahubatt 🤘🏿🏆🤘🏿🏆
The drum player also played in the band chick
Excuse me?
Who is that on guiater? 🎸 🎶🔥🔥🔥
Randy Bowland on guitar.
Loving this Already. Thank You reelblack
James lloyd plays jupiter 8 thats a expensive synthesizer
This group seems way too much led by the piano. He needs to hold back and give a lot more solo space to the bassist and drummer! He's got too dominance in the group, Tge piano is doing way to much! Piano playing!
