Seawind was a band formed in Hawaii in the mid-seventies that prominently featured a horn section of University of Indiana alums. The horn sections leader, Jerry Hey, would go on to be THE pop horn arranger of the eighties and nineties (often with the Seawind horns in tow for many of those sessions). Micheal Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire, and literally hundreds of others artists have used Jerry's arranging skills to add some restrained melodic punch to their recordings. Give a listen to the horn arrangement of Jackson's "Working Day and Night" - brilliant. That's what Hey did over and over again.
Seawind was more than just a springboard for Jerry Hey and the Seawind horns however. Seawind was also a highly musical and accomplished band that released four records during their career. Some of drummer Bob Wilson's songs, ("Devil is a Liar" "Follow Your Road" and "Free") are timeless jazz/rock compositions and could easily be in the rotation on any of today's few remaining jazz stations. ~Jim Stalker
It has been 29 years since Seawind's last new release!! This 12 song CD includes beautifully performed, updated 2009 arrangements of "Follow Your Road", "Free" , "Devil Is A Liar" and "He Loves You" (which also features vocalist Al Jarreau). This is by far, Seawind's best ever, recording!
