1	Good to Go-Go (2007) more music like this by Spyro Gyra Thirty-one years and 27 albums in (not including compilations), urban contemporary jazz unit Spyro Gyra are playing with the funky inspiration and clever melodic and rhythmic invention that have made them synonymous with the genre, but that they haven't displayed on their own recordings for some time. This is not to say the quintet have ever been ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!

5	Catching the Sun (1980) more music like this by Spyro Gyra One among many similar-sounding but highly popular albums by premier fusion ensemble Spyro Gyra. The group's songs usually contained catchy melodies, prominent backbeats, and some room for improvisational expression, although it was limited and required quick bursts rather than expansive statements. They were and still are near the top in the ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $13.00!
6	Got the Magic (1999) by Spyro Gyra As one of the earliest and most popular purveyors of what came to be known as "smooth jazz," Spyro Gyra was an easy target for the jazz police as that format reached airplay ascendancy in the 1990s. Got the Magic shows the many strengths of the band but also serves up a couple of opportunities for the critics to take a swing at their radio ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $11.06!
7	Freetime (1981) more music like this by Spyro Gyra see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.44!
8	Wrapped in a Dream (2006) more music like this by Spyro Gyra 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. So after nine Grammy ... see all copies from $16.41! new only from $16.57!
9	The Deep End (2004) more music like this by Spyro Gyra With their third label release, the longtime contemporary jazz powerhouse ensemble led by fluid and funky sax legend Jay Beckenstein celebrates 30 years of a consistent mix of making instrumental pop hits and pushing the musical envelopes into fusion territory. The title promises a plunge into something deep, or at least a little stretching, and ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
10	Point of View (1989) more music like this by Spyro Gyra 1989's Point of View is a much more up-tempo collection than Spyro Gyra had delivered on their last several albums; only Dave Samuels' lovely vibes- and percussion-enhanced "Riverwalk" counts as a ballad, and even it has a moderately sprightly tempo. The problem is that Spyro Gyra's slower and more impressionistic tunes have always been their most ... see all copies from $2.20!
11 view cover	The Very Best of Spyro Gyra (2002) more music like this by Spyro Gyra Although Spyro Gyra's late-'70s instrumental pop chart hit "Morning Dance" is always credited by some for opening doors for the genre that folks would later call smooth jazz, this 16-track compilation -- part of GRP's new classic artist collector's series -- shows that saxman Jay Beckenstein and company never really fit perfectly into any category ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	In Modern Times (2001) more music like this by Spyro Gyra When you consider that 1979 was the year that launched Spyro Gyra onto the pop charts with their number one hit "Morning Dance," for what was essentially a new style of jazz, their achievements seem all the more astounding. With the release of In Modern Times, the group commemorates 25 years of recording and a move to Heads Up International with ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
13 view cover	Original Cinema (2003) more music like this by Spyro Gyra A slightly sharper edge surfaces in Spyro Gyra's second effort for the Telarc-affiliated Heads Up label. While their performance still tilts more toward easy listening than searing fusion, there's a bit more punch than usual in the upbeat tracks. Frontman Jay Beckenstein cultivates a slightly grittier sound by concentrating largely on tenor sax, ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
14 view cover	Collection (1991) more music like this by Spyro Gyra Over the years, Spyro Gyra's music has ranged from inspired and boldly creative to bloodless and unimaginative -- a fact this 1991 retrospective makes abundantly clear. The band is at its risk-taking best on the haunting, Spanish-influenced "Old San Juan," the passionate, Afro-Cuban-flavored "Para Ti Latino" and the driving jazz-rock scorcher ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $20.41!
15 view cover	Alternating Currents (1985) more music like this by Spyro Gyra Featured is great songwriting and playing, and nice work by keyboardist Tom Schuman. Paul Kohler, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.46! new only from $11.31!
16 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Spyro Gyra (2007) more music like this by Spyro Gyra In their early days, saxophonist Jay Beckenstein molded Spyro Gyra into an ersatz fusion band that truly watered down the jazz-rock of the '70s, making way for the smooth contemporary instrumental sounds that followed. Some may have considered them pioneers, or an aberration. This 11-track CD from their early years is bookended by their best ... see all copies from $6.60! new only from $6.60!
17 view cover	Carnaval (1980) more music like this by Spyro Gyra see all copies from $6.98! new only from $11.31!
18 view cover	Breakout (1986) more music like this by Spyro Gyra An album with more midtempo jazz-style tunes and nice arrangements, it features Julio Fernandez and synth programming by Eddie Jobson. Paul Kohler, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.44!
19 view cover	The Best of Spyro Gyra: The First Ten Years (1997) more music like this by Spyro Gyra see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
20 view cover	The Instrumental History of Jazz (1997) more music like this by Various Artists It's hard to fault this two-disc, enhanced CD collection. Starting with Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" and roping in tracks from King Oliver, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Horace Silver, and John Coltrane, all the way to modern jazz musicians like Spyro Gyra and Geri Allen, this set covers a pretty ... see all copies from $31.78! new only from $31.78!
21 view cover	Stories Without Words (1987) more music like this by Spyro Gyra A nice mix of jazz, with tenor and soprano sax melodies that really sing. Paul Kohler, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.00!
22 view cover	Heart of the Night (1996) more music like this by Spyro Gyra There are a few departures from their previous efforts on this Spyro Gyra CD. Dave Samuels, the group's longtime marimba and vibraphonist, was no longer a regular member of the group but does make guest appearances on four of the 11 selections. Trumpeter Randy Brecker solos on "Midnight," and the "No Sweat Horns" (a three-piece horn section) pop ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.91!
23 view cover	City Kids (1983) more music like this by Spyro Gyra 1985 reissue of an early hit album. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.44!
24 view cover	Rites of Summer (1988) more music like this by Spyro Gyra 1998's Rites of Summer is the album on which Spyro Gyra once and for all abandons every pretense toward being anything other than a slickly commercial instrumental pop outfit with occasional feints toward the smoothest of smooth jazz. As always with Spyro Gyra, the slower and more impressionistic tunes are much more interesting than the upbeat ... see all copies from $3.99!
25 view cover	Access All Areas (1983) more music like this by Spyro Gyra An excellent live double album, it includes live versions of songs from early albums. Paul Kohler, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.99!
