Seven Seas

Seven Seas were an American jazz-funk ensemble that released one album, The Miami Sound, in 1976 on Glades.

Background

Seven Seas emerged from the T.K. Productions studio operation in Hialeah, Florida, in 1975 as a group assembled from company musicians. House producer Willie Clarke worked with permanent T.K. rhythm sections whose players backed multiple artists for the label. Clarke and songwriter-producer Clarence Reid wrote and arranged “Super Jaws,” co-produced with Steve Alaimo.

Seven Seas recorded “Super Jaws” within a one-week turnaround from initial concept to shipment. The single appeared in July 1975 on Glades (b/w “Pat’s Jam”) and reached No. 48 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart and No. 104 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. Seven Seas linked with producer Ray Martinez and orchestral arranger Mike Lewis for a full album.
