There’s few modern day horn players that command the room quite like New York City’s Craig Dreyer. On the tenor saxophone, his primary instrument, Dreyer quite literally defines the term 'hot horn', a phrase borrowed from Freddie Hubbard's album of the same name. If pure tone on brass alone wasn't enough, the multi-instrumentalist can be found conducting winds on flute by day or composing songs and arrangements behind his analog Wurlitzer keyboard for himself and others by night.

Listening to Craig Dreyer and Fiends albums, you quickly get the sense of how these songs came to be: rehearsed and performed in a live setting in clubs across New York City since the 1990's. Dreyer and Fiends, or the musicians in his band as he likes to call them, have released four studio albums since 1998’s ‘What Are Fiends For?’. And until now, 2004’s ‘Fiend or Foe?’ album was previously unreleased upon completion.
