fourwinds - I think rok, arbiter of all that is good and true jazz, is the one to look to for an authoritative answer about SpyroGyra.
rok - be gentle if you are able.
Me? I’m a jazz aficionado dilettante and not qualified to have an independent O-pinion as I’m sure the R man will confirm. I do think if you like ’em or even just that one piece, it’s all that really matters. FWIW - I had the same impression as you that they were purveyors of shallow, vacuous smooth jazz. A musical accompaniment for novocaine, if you will. I freely admit that might be unfair based solely on a subjective assessment derived from limited exposure, personal bias, prejudice, intolerance and bandwidth receptivity narrower than a keyhole. BUT - I think I might be in some good company here!! On the other hand, I will have to check out Morning Dance. Thanks for the recommendation.
