Where can I find it?? by J. Zimmermann (St Louis)  5 Stars
September 22, 2007
I bought the Dreams album when I was in college in the early 70's, and it was my favorite album for a long, long time. I still have 2 copies of the LP, but I've been searching for years for a copy of the CD. I finally found a listing on Amazon.com, but it is out of stock. I've searched E-Bay and other websights, with no luck. Should anyone have a copy to sell, please contact me at slimjimzim@aol.com. Thanks.

This is one of the greatest Jazz Rock Albums of ALL time...A turning point in Jazz rock history! with the likes of Billy Cobham On Drums(argueably the greatest drummer in history), The late Barry Rogers on Trombone (who innovated Afro Cuban Jazz),The Iconic Brecker Brothers,Doug Lubahn,Eddie Vernon(Lead vocals) and Especially the super multi-talented Jeff Kent the man who wrote the album, played Keyboards..vocals..music.. words conceptualization.and went on to write Pierce Arrow and many more..is there anything this guy can't do?? A masterpiece and musical Classic.

Great Jazz-Rock by Nathaniel Slautich (Fairfax, VA United States)  4 Stars
July 23, 2005
I agree with the reviewer that said it was a shame that only the people that know of this album will be aware of it (redundant I know but...). Featuring the Brecker brothers and John Abercrombie in a jazz-rock setting not unlike early Chicago or Blood, Sweat & Tears, this record is a forgotten gem; full of great jazz jams and rock sensibilities. Highly recommended to all fans of the aforementioned bands, and all others who wish to delve into early 70's jazz-rock.

Not Yet Their Time by John F. Temmerman (Skokie, Il United States)  2 Stars
September 28, 2004
I bought this album on LP when it hit the budgie bins in the early 70s, and the CD a few weeks ago.
The recording had so much promise: Randy and Mike Brecker, Billy Cobham, John Abercrombie.
Ultimately, this album was a disappointment to me. While the arrangements are interesting in spots, there are too many diffused attempts to hit pop charts with vocal pieces and insufficient solo space for either Brecker (although Mike had a couple of nice solos on the last 2 cuts). I agree that Columbia might have been trying to nudge them toward a BS&T thing, since BS&T was selling lots of records at the time.
The talent clearly compares to the fusion bands that were around then and soon thereafter, but saddling the talent with boring vocal pieces with boring vocalists and lyrics squanders it.
This album might be interesting to collectors to hear what these players sounded like before they became well-known, but I can't recommend it to anyone else.

Eclectic music for dreamers by H. Zelizer (Wading River, NY United States) 4 Stars
March 13, 2003
Haunting and beautiful. Its a shame that the only people who will find this gem are those who already knew it existed. Preview "The Maryanne" and "Holli Be Home", they're my favorites on this disc.

| Chase/Ennea/Pure Music
by Chase
Chase was a Jazz-Rock horn band masterminded by trumpet player extraordinaire Bill Chase. The only issued three albums, all of which made the Billboard charts when originally issued in the early 1970s. Tragically this all came to an end when most of the band, including Bill, was killed in a plane crash in 1974. Their music lives on with these three excellent albums, gathered together here as three albums on two CDs.

| Maiden Voyage
by Herbie Hancock
In the mid-'60s, a distinctive postbop style evolved among the younger musicians associated with Blue Note, a new synthesis that managed to blend the cool spaciousness of Miles Davis's modal period, some of the fire of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and touches of the avant-garde's group interaction. Maiden Voyage is a masterpiece of the school, with Hancock's enduring compositions like "Maiden Voyage" and "Dolphin Dance" mingling creative tension and calm repose with strong melodies and airy,...
