Pieces Of A Dream - Soul Intent (2009)

2009 release from the veteran Jazz collective. In the age of digital technology, the art of assembling a handful of musicians in the same place and time to craft a live, organic recording full of creative interplay and artistic energy can be easily lost. But keyboardist James Lloyd and drummer Curtis Harmon, the founding duo and driving force behind Pieces of a Dream, haven't forgotten that the old school is still the place where some of the best and most enduring musical ideas are born. Nearly three decades after their first recordings, Pieces of a Dream revisits their original approach to songwriting and recording with Soul Intent. This album takes a back-to-basics approach, one that maximizes the most fundamental and enduring components of the Pieces experience.
