Two Of Us - Seawind (Drum Cover)

Seawind was an American jazz fusion band from Hawaii, consisting of its lead singer Pauline Wilson, guitarist Bud Nuañez, bassist Ken Wild, drummer Bob Wilson, keyboardist, flutist and saxophonist Larry Williams, saxophone and flute player Kim Hutchcroft, and trumpeter Jerry Hey. Seawind recorded two albums for CTI Records, one for Horizon Records and one for A&M Records.
Seawind achieved a Grammy nomination in the category Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) in 1978 for the song The Devil Is a Liar.
Background
A notable part of the band's sound was the "Seawind Horns" (trumpeter Jerry Hey, sax and flute player Kim Hutchcroft, and sax and flute player Larry Williams), who went on to provide backing instrumentals and horn arrangements for performers such as Earth, Wind & Fire, George Benson, Michael Jackson (Thriller, Off the Wall, and Bad), Quincy Jones and Mika. Hey left Seawind as a touring member in 1979 but continued as a recording member of the band through 1980. Trumpeter Larry Hall, an original member of the band when they were called "OX",[4] rejoined the group in 2005. Hey and Hall are longtime friends and both are top-call recording session musicians.
The band released the single "Gotta Be Willing To Lose" under the band name Ox on Warped Records . To avoid possible legal issues with John Entwistle's band, who was called Ox as well, they decided to rename the band to Seawind. The first single under the band name Seawind "One Sweet Night" was released 1977 on CTI records. When the act signed with A&M, they released in 1980 "The Two Of Us" as their second single, followed by the single called "What Cha Doin'",[5] which became a modest hit on Billboard's Disco/Dance Chart in November 1980, peaking at number 28.[6]
In 1981, Bob & Pauline Wilson released a contemporary Christian music album, Somebody Loves You, which, although technically not a Seawind album, features the same trademark sound with the same musicians and vocalists. Seawind broke up in 1982, but reunited in 2005 for a Los Angeles concert performance and then began work on a new CD, which took them over three years to complete. After the breaking up of Seawind in 1982 Pauline Wilson went on and recorded 3 solo records including contributions by some of the former band members from Seawind: Intuition in 1992, Only You in 1997 and Tribute in 2001. Pauline Wilson is the first vocalist from Hawaii to win a Grammy award (singing a duet with George Benson on the album In Harmony - A Sesame Street Record, which won Grammy Award for Best Album for Children in 1980).
In 1995, a Seawind compilation CD Remember was released on Noteworthy Records. Remember includes five tracks recorded during sessions for their never-completed fifth album. Seawind's 2009 CD Reunion was released on Village Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment Japan.

Holy crap, those hi hat bark accents are tremendous !!! And that N&C is poppin! The whole kit is so dialed in!🥁👍😎🥁👍😎

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Jeff! This is the song that used the N&C then I started changing snares again! But I forgot to update the description! By the way I have no idea what happened to comments on Asher’s video yesterday? Maybe KZbin turned them off? I’m not sure? It’s weird?

[@metzilla]

@@earldrum the description was correct! I haven't had the chance to see the video from yesterday, I'll go look!

Almost a perfect ending to a perfectly played drumming exhibition. Gotta work on that stick flip though to nail it 💯%. Seriously though, that was such a sweet sounding performance from the drumming perspective. I recorded myself a couple of days ago and was o disappointed when my drum sounded so plain compared to the sound you create. I did purchase a used amplifier to run my music through, so now my wife can hear the song that goes along with all of my banging. She said she enjoys that much more than just hearing the drums. I sure enjoyed Asher’s performance yesterday. How old is he? Our daughter’s older son just turned 7. He really likes music but isn’t yet really interested in the drums. Anyway, have a wonderful Sunday. We are supposed to get drenched with multiple inches of rain the next 3 days, but then it looks like a stretch of good weather is on the way. Take care, my friend.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️

[@earldrum]

Greg, I hope you had a great day … Asher is 11 years old. Thanks for the encouragement for Asher and me. I get the stick flip 25% of the time. So keep practicing my friend, me too. 🙏🏻👍🏻😎🤘🏻
