The Dazz Band, originally known as Kinsman Dazz, emerged from Cleveland, Ohio, in the late 1970s, blending funk, R&B, and jazz to create their signature "danceable jazz" sound. Led by Grammy-winning saxophonist Bobby Harris, the group achieved mainstream success with hits like "Let It Whip," which earned them a Grammy Award in 1982, "Joystick," and "Let It All Blow." Their dynamic performances and innovative style have solidified their place in music history, influencing generations of artists and continuing to captivate audiences worldwide.
