Spyro Gyra: Morning Dance (1979) LP Review

[gene]

Morning Dance was the breakout recording for Spyro Gyra, and my favorite release (followed closely by Catching The Sun) of the 1970's. Spyro Gyra (and co-founder/composer Jay Beckenstein), will forever be associated with the title track from this album. This wildly successful follow-up to their debut album (simply titled Spyro Gyra) was eventually certified RIAA Platinum (meaning it sold over 1 million copies). While Spyro Gyra debuted in the shadow of super-groups like Weather Report and Return To Forever, they were just as successful commercially, ultimately out-lasting them all!

and Watanabe, and Grover Washington's Winelight.
The artists listed thus far drew me in and have cost mucho dinero over the years, but gladly spent and enjoyed!

FYI I did a review of Winelight here. One of the most critically and commercially successful jazz releases of all time (albeit helped by the "Top 40" hit Just The Two of Us).
