Description

In the mid 1970s, Spyro Gyra crafted a unique new soundinspired by jazz fusion, pop and R&Band released their debut album on their own label in 1976. Their records were both artistically challenging and commercially successful, and embraced world rhythms, including Caribbean, African and Brazilian sounds. Morning Dance, their first album with a major label, was released in 1979, spawned a Top 40 single, and eventually went platinum. Spyro Gyra went on to build a large and incredibly loyal fan base around the world that continues to this day.

After completing their 2004 recording, The Deep End, which marked a swing back to a more organic, live band sound, Spyro Gyra decided to reinvent itself once again with yet another creative release. The result is Wrapped in a Dream, the groups fourth album on Heads Up International.

Wrapped in a Dream reaffirms Spyro Gyras status as jazz fusions most original group. This coolly textured and cleanly produced collection is filled with subtle melodies and accomplished solos that blend easily into a lush instrumental backdrop.

One of the ways that Spyro Gyra did things a little differently with this album was to go to some younger talents for guest appearances as well as technical assistance rather than the superstar session musicians who have graced earlier releases. Both Josh Dion and Nathan Eklund are musicians in their mid-twenties as is Eric Carlinsky, the main recording engineer on the album.

At a time when most veteran bands are playing it ever safer and trendier, Spyro Gyras latest release is proof that the cutting-edge ensemble has not lost touch with its original spirit of exploration.

The dream lives on.
