The album "Mt Airy Groove" by Pieces Of A Dream is a sensational masterpiece that offers a refreshing blend of smooth jazz, funk, and soul. The album is a perfect representation of the band's versatility and musical prowess. With 10 tracks, each song is unique and captivating, making it difficult to pick a favorite.

"Mt Airy Groove" opens with the title track, which is a funky, upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's signature sound is evident in "Right Back Atcha," which features a groovy bassline, funky horns, and a catchy melody. "Butterfly" is a soulful ballad that showcases the band's ability to convey emotion through their music.

About Pieces Of A Dream

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 drummers father and uncle, Danny and Bill Harmon, respectively.

I remember when in NYC WBLS use to play this song. We had so much fun partying off this song. Great memories of the 80's.
I was 8 years old when this came out. This song hits different now that I'm grown and listened to the lyrics. This is a very creative and positive song.
This was my shit... that intro grabs you. The Snare and hand claps and the bass line..
HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY
