Seawind | Reunion

Back in the seventies Seawind was a major jazz force, releasing several albums. They had in the pocket grooves, a signature horn sound, and Pauline Wilson’s vocals set to lyrics that complimented each song she sang. When Seawind broke up in the peak of their career, all was lost, but not for too long. Though they went their separate ways, Bob and Pauline released an album, Pauline released an album, but the horn section, turned into a in-demand session players. If you look on the back of any major album or Cd to date, you will see Jerry Hey, Kim Hutchcroft, Larry Williams and they have played on many albums by Earth, Wind & Fire, George Benson, and last but not least, Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ album. This cd feels like they never broke up. The music is crisp, and soothing, while Pauline’s voice is clear and concise. What I like about this cd is that all the original members are back – with help from Al Jarreau, Gary Grant, Bill Reichenbach, Michito, Sanchez and Joe Turano.

 

Here is the Track Listing:

1 Kept by your power,

Seawind has always had a gospel edge to their music and lyrics. Not because they started out as a gospel band, but that spirit has allowed them to continue making great music for us all to hear.  You can find their project at www.amazon.com , www.seawindjazz.com,   

 

Even though an actual cd was not released, we will never hear the talent that the artist might possess. But what you will hear is along the lines of Incognito and other groups in the same genre. Groups that bordered along the acid jazz lines. It’s a Club Jam and it’s very danceable. Enjoy!
