Rip Notes

The Cleveland-based Dazz Band was one of the more popular funk groups of the
early '80s. Bobby Harris formed the group in the late '70s, merging two
Cleveland funk bands, Bell Telefunk and Mother Braintree. After myriad lineup
changes, the end result was an eight-piece band featuring Harris, Skip Martin
III, Pierre DeMudd on horns and vocals, guitarist Eric Fearman, bassist Michael
Wiley, drummer Isaac Wiley, keyboardist Kevin Frederick, and percussionist Kenny
Pettus. Harris and lead songwriter/guitarist Mike Calhoun's concept for the
group was "danceable jazz"; he shortened the description to "dazz" and called
the group Kinsman Dazz. Under that name, the group had two small hits in the
U.S.A. during 1978 and 1979. After Calhoun left they changed their name to the
Dazz Band in 1980 and signed to Motown.
