"This CD reminds me of that 1960s lounge music flavor that I love so much. The melodies are mellow and relaxing; and the arrangements are keenly well done with lots of thought and feeling. Just put this on your CD player/stereo and kick back and relax--it beats any relaxation exercise by a mile! hehehe
The sound quality is great and I love the cover art photo! Although this is essentially a jazz instrumental album, look for Ramona Dunlap, Cherie Mitchell and Scott Mann on vocals with some of the tracks like "Triflin'." The vocals are just right to accompany the music: soulful and rich, confident and yet mellow too--all at the same time. True, the occasional vocals enhance the music; but on this CD the music is what's really special.
So, any time you just need to put on a CD, pour yourself that glass of your favorite wine and just mellow out on the couch PLEASE do yourself a favor and try this CD as the CD of choice! This is also great music for romancing and doing a little belly rubbing for your partner's delight! Enjoy!

Pieces of A Dream Gets Better With Each Album...

"If you are a fan of Pieces of A Dream...this c.d. is a MUST-have! I like to say that this album has a more mature jazz sound infused with a little R&B in all the right places when compared with previous c.d.s by the group. My personal favorites are "Sincere" and "Those 3 Words" featuring Ramona Dunlap on the lead vocal (she has such a soul-stirring, captivating sound) . "Sincere" will truly have you spellbound and mesmerized with its sweet,soft,smooth rhythms and tones as well as sensual vocals. There is an equal balance of upbeat, head-boppin' songs and sensually mellow songs. It's truly been difficult to listen to any other jazz c.d. since purchasing this one. Once again, you can't be a true Pieces of A Dream fan without this c.d...you won't regret purchasing it."
Nice and Slow
