"This is the fourth CD by the Dream Band and, to my ears, the finest so far. On every track, they create lovely jazz and dance music laden with inspiring hot solos, subtle arranged passages, exuberant collective improvisation, and tender ballads. But the Dream Band isn't self-consciously historical, copying riffs from Vocalion 78s: tese musicians love the tradition, but their playing is inventive, the result is timeless."
--- Michael Steinman, Professor of English at Nassau Community College in New York, who has written and edited six books, and is a staff writer for Cadence and The Mississippi Rag
Pianist John Sheridan delivers another superb album of swing jazz and standards with his Dream Band on Easy as It Gets. Once again featuring the talents of cornetist Randy Reinhart, trombonist Russ Phillips, clarinetist Ron Hockett, tenor saxophonist Scott Robinson, guitarist Bob Leary, bassist Phil Flanigan, drummer Joe Ascione, and, of course, vocalist Rebecca Kilgore, the band is traditional and old-timey without seeming staid. A solid dance-oriented ensemble, Sheridan's Dream Band keeps the tone light and lively with lesser performed songs including "You Leave Me Breathless," "Me, Myself and I (Are All in Love With You)," and "Devil May Care." Fans of old-school jazz should be very pleased with Easy as It Gets.

Sheridan attended Capital University in Columbus following high school, earning a bachelor's degree in piano, then enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1968 and served with the U.S. Navy Band in Washington, D.C., until his discharge in 1972. Sheridan enrolled in North Texas State University and graduated in 1977 with a master's in music. He joined Jim Cullum's Jazz Band in 1979 and remained with the group until 2002, when he left to freelance on his own. Over the years Sheridan has worked with Scott Hamilton, Wycliffe Gordon, Jake Hanna, Ralph Sutton, Yank Lawson, Dick Hyman, and many others. Among his many recordings (all on Arbors Records, owned and run by Rachel and Mat Domber) are Something Tells Me (1997), Dream Band, Make Me Dream Some More (1999), They Can't Take That Away from Me (1999), Get Rhythm in Your Feet (2002), Artistry 3 (2004), and Easy as It Gets (2005).
