 fice) “What’s the point of doing what we do if we can’t bring joy and un
 ity to others?” asks Curtis Harmon\, drummer and founding member of the 
 pioneering chart-topping Contemporary Jazz group Pieces Of A Dream (POD)
 . “Let’s face it\, it’s gratifying to see people gathered together smili
 ng\, dancing and genuinely enjoying themselves.” Curtis’ long- time musi
 cal brother\, pianist and POD co-founder James Lloyd adds “Our quest as 
 composers and performers has always been to utilize the power of music t
 o bring people from all walks of life together for a good time.” Pieces 
 Of A Dream’s 26th recording\, “We Got This\,” exceeds in delivering the 
 powerhouse group’s mission. The anticipated recording features ten origi
 nals that pack a powerful punch. “It’s all there\,” says Lloyd. “Grooves
  that make your head bob. Catchy melodies. Moving bass lines. Heartfelt 
 solos. Sensuality. Spirituality. Something to dance to. Something to par
 ty to. Something to relax to and something to reflect to.” At the heart 
 of “We Got This” is a love of music\, a commitment to brotherhood and th
 e spirit of resilience. “There is a semi-hidden meaning behind the album
  title and a nod of gratitude to my partners Curtis and Tony\,” reveals 
 Lloyd. “I suffered three strokes during the creation of this music\, and
  I couldn’t contribute as much to this project as I am used to doing. I 
 am grateful to my brothers for having my back during the process of maki
 ng this album.” POD truly is a brotherhood and the adoration and respect
  that Curtis\, James\, and Tony share permeates every note on “We Got Th
 is.” As a result\, it is not hard to understand why Pieces Of A Dream ha
 s stood the test of time and will mark their 50th anniversary in 2026. I
 t’s been a thrilling ride that has included being discovered as teens by
  the legendary Grover Washington\, Jr.\, having a track on the soundtrac

 ons like Miles Davis and Count Basie\, and they are nowhere near done ye
