Nice Sampler -Not The 'Best'.......2003-06-15

This CD is an okay sampler, and a great overview of the first ten years of Spyro Gyra. I would recommend this disc if you plan on getting only one Spyro Gyra CD. However, many of their best songs from this era are not on this 'Best Of' CD. Their early albums are highly-recommended, making this compilation redundant.

You'll be hooked................2003-04-09

If smooth jazz is your thing, if you love top-drawer musicians performing great charts, if improvisation rings your bell, you'll find it all here. Spyro Gyra has been on the cutting edge of jazz fusion for many years, and this is a sample of their best. "Morning Dance" is one of my all-time favorites, as is "Catching the Sun". Just get lost in the sweet sound of Jay Beckenstein's sax, or delight in Jeremy Wall's silky smooth keyboarding. This CD is a delight for all music fans, and a great way to be introduced to Spyro Gyra.

If this CD is available in your local store, BUY IT!!!!!!!!!.......2001-07-11

From the beautiful artwork to the last note of Del Corazon, I was already becoming a Spyro Gyra addict. My favorite here would probably be "Conversations" due to its being "tight." The rest of the songs are no-less great. "Shaker Song", "Morning Dance", "Freetime", all of these are top-notch Jazz-Fusion/Smooth Jazz compositions. I'm new to this band but I know a good Fusion/Smooth Jazz band when I hear one. This CD is difinitely a keeper. Buy it.

Excellent Review of Smmoth Jazz Pioneers.......2000-12-04

I have exposed my jazz students to the music of Spyro Gyra through this collection. Because of this music, we have played several arrangements and the kids love it. Excellent introduction to smmoth jazz/fusion sound that was made popular by Jay & company. A must for every jazz afficionado!!
