For Dreamers and Their Dreams

Eddie Bruce’s “For Dreamers and Their Dreams”, on all streaming platforms with CDs available on Bandcamp, is his first full album with the Ed Vezinho and Jim Ward Big Band, showcasing a rich collaboration rooted in decades of shared musical history. 

The material reflects a broad emotional spectrum—from the
tender balladry of “Some Other Time” to the bold swagger of
“Charade” and the sparkling buoyancy of “How High the Moon.”
Several tracks originated as trio arrangements by pianist Dean
Schneider, including the inspired melding of “Feelin’ Good” with
Miles Davis’ “So What,” which Vezinho transformed into a full
big band masterpiece. Bruce’s one original song, “Philly is the
City,” offers an affectionate anthem to his hometown, blending
playful nods to “New York, New York” with the distinct spirit of
Philadelphia.
