Twilight Dreams is an album by Lester Bowie recorded for the UK based Venture label and the third album by his "Brass Fantasy" group. It was released in 1987 and features performances by Bowie, Vincent Chancey, Frank Lacy, Steve Turre, Malachi Thompson, Rasul Siddik, Stanton Davis, Bob Stewart, and Phillip Wilson.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated that "one imagines that this approach works better in concert than on record. There are some strong moments on this hard-to-find LP (such as Bowie's trumpet-drums duet with Phillip Wilson on 'Duke's Fantasy') but this is a hit-and-miss affair".[1]
Spin wrote, "Brass Fantasy weaves between the more billowy arrangements of 'Duke's Fantasy' and the title track, and rave-ups like 'Thriller'. The music, like his attire, is adorned in ways that keep you wondering, 'Is Bowie serious?'"[2]
