WASHINGTON, DC: BLUES ALLEY PRESENTS PIECES OF A DREAM
Jazz trio Pieces of a Dream will perform at BLUES ALLEY (1073 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC - 202-337-4141) on Friday through Sunday, May 30th through June 1st with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Pieces of a Dream emerged out of Philadelphia's music scene in 1976. Keyboardist James Lloyd, drummer Curtis Harmon and former bassist Cedric Napoleon, were (and still are) managed by the drummer's father and uncle, Danny and Bill Harmon, respectively. The group based their name on "Pieces of Dreams," a cover tune by Stanley Turrentine that the group performed. The youthful exuberance of those two Philly kids from the mid-'70s is still very much alive in Soul Intent, Pieces of a Dream's latest effort on Heads Up. It's that kind of innovation and eclecticism that keeps Pieces of a Dream fresh and authentic in a jazz world that's ever-changing. Call for cover/minimum information.

The Flamingos created a unique sound that still inspires many artist such as Bruno Mars and Aaron Neville, just to name a few. As the group celebrates its diamond anniversary, they are known as the "Ambassadors for Romance" and are better than ever. Led by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Terry Johnson, The Flamingos perform their greatest hits including "I Only Have Eyes For You," heralded by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a song that helped define rock and roll. In concert, with 9 charted hits and 4 albums, The Flamingos expand their repertoire to include classic songs from the American Songbook, an inspiring video tribute honoring our troops, comedy and the kind of show that seems to hit all age groups with pure entertainment. This mix of cleverly arranged music from the past and present promises to create a memory-filled concert that will bring fans to their feet repeatedly.
