Dazz Band
In 2026, The Dazz Band proudly celebrates 50 Years of Dazz: The Legacy Lives Loud! The story began in 1976, when nine gifted musicians rehearsed relentlessly inside a Cleveland warehouse driven by discipline and belief. “It was like a nine-to-five job, five days a week,” recalled founder Bobby Harris. That commitment paid off, leading the group, then known as Kinsman Dazz, to sign their first recording contract with 20th Century Records that same year. Led by saxophonist Bobby Harris, the group released their first single, Might as Well Forget About Loving You followed by their self-titled debut album, Kinsman Dazz, in 1977. This marked the first ot two Kinsman Dazz albums produced by Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson of Earth, Wind and Fire. The project captivated listeners with a musically rich sound, defined by tight rhythms, jazzy chord progressions, expansive horn sections, sophisticated arrangements, and smooth vocal harmonies.
