June 1, 2008 - DREAM remains in top 5 on CD Baby's Top Selling Smooth Jazz Albums Chart for over 52 weeks. DREAM continues to make its way into rotation on FM Radio. Jackie Anderson - Host of Midday Jazz on WJAB-FM Radio says: “You can feel the magic from start to finish with "Dream". Smooth jazz at its finest. Don't miss this one!” DREAM is a group of studio musicians brought together by John Evans, probably best known for his work with jazz saxophonist David Sanborn on the RIAA certified gold, Grammy-nominated album, HIDEAWAY. Evans composed and co-penned with Sanborn the tune that became the single release for the album. DREAM performs five of Evans’ instrumental compositions, ranging from the romantic ballad, “Dream”, and the classic R&B flavored, "Destiny", to the gentle, swaying, Brazilian/Cuban influenced, “West Side Walk”, and the festive,“Para Bailar”. Here is what Paul Dunkel - Music Director & Conductor of the Westchester Philharmonic in New York had to say about DREAM: “I've been listening to Dream, a lovely recording based on the music of the gifted American composer John Evans. Mr. Evans obviously has an ear for lyrical lines and many of his songs are extended in these instrumental versions....the arrangements are subtle and colorful. The playing is first rate throughout.”
