Azwon

US band formed in the late 1970's by student friends of Florida State University college in Tallahassee. The band members were: - Reggie Jahn (Keyboards/synthesizer and Vocals) - Jamie Baker (Bass) - John Finn (Guitar, Vocals) - Dave Antonacci (Drums) - Matt Pugliesi (Percussion) - Penny Lang (Lead Vocals) - Steve Gambrell (Piano, Vocals) They would often perform on the campus Student Union and also at "The Downunder" and "Landis Green". Off campus they would frequently play at nearby spot called "Tommy’s Night Club". In late 1979, and again in the early 1980's, they got together at the Sweet Bay recording studios in Tallahassee to record several tracks, most of which are unreleased. They decided to release two tracks on their own private JBF Records (3), a label name made up of the first letter of three of the original band members surnames; Reggie Jahn - Jamie Baker - John Finn. They pressed just 200 units of a 7” and the majority of copies were given away at gigs and to friends. The amazing flute solo on "Paradise Island" was played by Tommy Schmick the owner of Tommy’s. The new version of “Paradise Island” also includes Yesenia Ruiz (vocals), Gary Moffatt (drums) and Carlos Fernandez (percussion).
