Jazz for aficionados
I kinda feel like I might be buttin in here, but hey do you guys think Spyro Gyra is jazz. I'm not sure myself and don't think it is to some. But I was just listening to Morning Dance and am pretty surprisingly impressed with the production, it's very very good. I don't think it it's because of that reason although it doesn't hurt, but I find myself really enjoying it, immensely in fact. Not having a broad base of their material, but prior to listening to it I lumped them with say Kenny G. and the smooth jazz you hear in the dentists office or something. Sooo, what do you jazz heads say. It won't make any diff. If it's not considered on par with other serious or real artists mentioned in this thread as its a killer listen musically as well ime. I almost listed this in another post as an artist I was surprised I like, mainly from the aforementioned smooth jazz connotation I had in my brain. Maybe I should give the G a half a chance. : ) so yeah I'm just curious is this jazz to the afficionados and what do musicians of you are one look at this. Thanks |
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVDZ5UY_oDw&ab_channel=AmherstRecords |
