Spyro Gyra 20/20
June 29th, 2007One word describes the CD 20/20 from Spyro Gyra… AWESOME!
The CD launches with a great track, The Unwritten Letter, that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.
Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired and the production is simply outstanding. If you’re even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you’ll enjoy this CD.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 5, Sweet Baby James. Wow!
