Seawind

Important note!! For the horn section within the group, please use The Seawind Horns.

American jazz fusion band formed in Hawaii in 1974 as [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1643317-Ox-14]Ox[/url]. Changing their name to avoid entanglements with [a1102573], they became known as Seawind in 1976 when they moved from the islands to Los Angeles, California. The move to the mainland was due, in large part, to Harvey Mason. He got them a regular gig at the Baked Potato in Studio City, just north of Hollywood. Mason also got them a recording contract with CTI and two albums quickly followed (in '76 & '77). Extensive touring delayed the next two albums (on A&M) until 1979 & 1980. The band broke up in 1982 but came back together for 2009's Reunion album.
