"Dazz" is: a song by R&B/funk band Brick. "Dazz" is a combination of disco, funk and jazz, hence the——title "Dazz", a combination denominator for "Disco Jazz". Released in 1976 from their debut album Good High, it would become their biggest hit, spending four weeks at the top of the R&B singles chart, while reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
