Dreams biography
Dreams band was founded in late sixties as trio, but soon added brass section and became the brass-rock band in a manner of Chicago or Blood Sweat and Tears. Even if they didn't receive big popularity in their time, they became a great starting place for some well known fusion musicians as Billy Cobham, John Abercrombie, Brecker brothers, etc.

Differently from other brass-rock bands of the time, their music was more improv based in New Orleans tradition. The band released just two studio albums and was disbanded, but many members became great musicians in future.
