[@madinahilyasah4053]

🗣️🗣️🗣️PIECES OF A DREAM! A band with their own unique spices and flavours! This track is one of my favorites!❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@wallacehooper5972]

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

[@kurtgant8748]

One of favorite versions of this song. Was fortunate enough to see them live a few times. James Lloyd is amazing on keyboards

[@teresitadejesusvelazquezma9989]

@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.

One of my favorite groups of all time! Their musical maturity and skill were way beyond their ages!!!!!

[@willhaynes2190]

They getting it straight raw talent effortless. Super underrated

[@thescatman5029]

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.....!

[@jamescalifornia2964]

😘 Wow ... 👌

[@ivanking569]

Exactly! They were young musical genius, indeed.

[@Naesman1167]

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!

[@thescatman5029]

@@Naesman1167 I corrected myself. I meant James Lloyd, not James Harmon. Thanks.

WOW They were so young and killing it back then!! I love my brothers!!

[@alijhi]

Wow! Just Wow!

[@darrellpruitt8425]

I can't conceive the thought of anyone giving this masterful performance a thumbs down. Mind boggling.

[@bostonjazz80]

Wow, I hadn’t even noticed the thumbs downs. Totally nuts - They were so great!

[@lawrenceyoung6592]

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!!

[@larrydupont6744]

These young brothers did Herbie Hancock proud back then and still today!!👍🏾💯

[@billneath3273]

Indeed, they did

[@glen7695]

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.

[@ronaldwilson1431]

Better you did cuz I would hate to have to follow them

[@Primortal1]

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.

[@lousehr]

It's an Arp Quadra I think,not Jup 8 although that is an amazing board!

What a talented group of musicians🎸🎹🎼🎵🎶

[@sistervluv3556]

I enjoyed this as much as the original from the Quincy Jones "Sounds and Stuff" album and I just listened to that before this !

[@CommishNflpro]

Umm, the "Original' is by Herbie Hancock, not Quincy. His version is a cover as well

[@ganglezz]

Original is from Herbies Fat Albert Rotunda 1969

[@ebroomfield36]

Ok somebody better recognize these brothas are throwing down some straight heat!

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.

[@wallacehooper8645]

Pieces of dream version is great, smooth, stylish, we talking young brothers out of Philadelphia.

[@brodocbetty4856]

You're right I believe from the Mount Airy section of Philly.

[@demetriushouser4459]

James Loyd great player

[@martinkelly6709]

Fantastic pianist. Only 19 at the time and even looking a bit like a young Herbie Hancock.

[@jospinvanraat8730]

Gosh they were so young!!

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!

[@ronrobbins2737]

@@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?

[@pastense]

@@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. Not their fault, cuz you're already a fan right? I don't discredit the Grammys because there are still some notable people on their panel. So when you see someone receiving a Grammy, you should understand why. It's not because you know, someone else deserves it. It's because the panel has to decide upon what's presented upon them.

[@bekagigauri1799]

Measure of the bridge is 5/4. They make it simple 4/4. Don't know why

[@muziklvr7776]

Most players that aren't full blown jazz artists have a hard time playing odd time signatures.

[@edennard1]

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.

[@chipmurdock6411]
