Kudos to Spyro Gyra, the original contemporary jazz supergroup. Jay Beckenstein and his bandmates have inspired a generation of musicians to find a new way to swing. Spyro Gyra continues to push the boundaries of jazz with it's restlessly innovative sound. - Gerald Veasley

.on 20/20 players groove through a breezy set featuring a fair amount of Latin flavorings..." - JazzTimes

This versatile and smooth group can really deliver. There's is a complex, fresh sound that can rock, and it can groove in the jazzier veign as well.
Their approach seems to broaden with this release, with the like of "South American Sojourn". Really like "Sweet Baby James" and "The Deep End."

High energy sound that is balanced, refined and solid. Great stuff!
