Years have gone by since I've heard Seawind live, but the news of a possible new album and concerts in LA and Japan have left me excited. This particular collection remains some of the classic best Seawind, and put together in the days on vinyl when you really did appreciate the artistry of how tempo and themes were put together in an artistic order. I won't be flying to LA or Japan soon, but plan to add this CD to my collection, right here in the middle of the old USA. "Remember" is a great one but this has all the essential Seawind sounds in my opinion!

I guess it pays off knowing one of the members of the Seawind horn section. These albums are re-released ("Seawind" (the 1st album) and "Window Of A Child"), and are being directly sold on Seawind's websight (seawindjazz.com). Both of the albums should be in any jazz, or contemporary christian music library.

This is the first Seawind album that was released originally in the United States on CTI Records. You can also get the exact material on Remembering, which is a compilation of the entire first album, Window of a Child and some unreleased material that was to be the fifth album. The material is as good today as it was when it was released in the late 70's. Those who had the chance to enjoy Seawind live either originally in Honolulu or in Los Angeles at The Baked Potato will always have a copy of this nearby.
