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!

One of my first "jazz" records, along with Chuck Mangione, The Crusaders, Lee Ritenour.....the list goes on.
 
....and Bob James, Maynard Ferguson, Earl Klugh, Tom Scott...:D
 
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).
