"The Buffalo-based instrumental ensemble is always credited for contributing to the pop, R&B, and jazz hybrid that eventually evolved into today's smooth jazz — but happily, as the music in that genre has gotten slightly more predictable, Spyro Gyra have been rocking, rolling, and improvising in a lot of unexpected directions." - by Jonathan Widran - All Music Guide

"One of my first memorable experiences in music was the first time I heard morning dance . I didn't know who or what I was hearing I just knew it was perfect. Congrats" - Walter Beasley

"In the last 30 years Smooth Jazz has changed more than Michael Jackson's headshots. Most of twists and turns have truly sucked canal water. Spyro Gyra however has kept it innovative. 'Wrapped in a Dream' is yet another win for the band - just another reminder of what these guys are capable of." - John Beaudin - Co-Chair/ Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards/Program Director /california103, Calgary, Alberta

"Depending on your tastes, the long-standing fusion group Spyro Gyra cemented the "smooth jazz" sound or they diluted the "real" music. For over three decades, the ensemble's principle leaders, saxophonist Jay Beckenstein and keyboardist Tom Schuman, have been the gold standard of the smooth jazz genre." - Eugene Holley, Jr. - Amazon.com

"Spyro Gyra had set a high standard early in their career. A career that that spans three decades of making some of the most innovative yet assessable music. A true creative force that has pleased audiences worldwide.
I am thrilled to be associated with Jay and the band in a very exciting time in their musical journey, and congratulate them on this long overdue recognition."
Dave Love, President, Heads Up International
