Spyro Gyra - 20-20
Audio CD (May 13, 1997)
Original Release Date: 1997
Label: Grp Records
Bitrate: 320 kbps

This versatile and smooth group can really deliver. There's is a complex, fresh sound that can rock, and it can groove in the jazzier veign as well.
Their approach seems to broaden with this release, with the like of "South American Sojourn". Really like "Sweet Baby James" and "The Deep End."

High energy sound that is balanced, refined and solid. Great stuff! ~ rodboomboom

The sounds of Spyro Gyra are always quite pleasing. Soothing horns, pretty piano touches, and good rhythms.
This collection features more easy listening jazz tunes as opposed to the stunning fusion jams on Catching The Sun and Morning Dance. There is a little less instrumental definiton on this release than on prior recordings as Jay Beckstein gets much of the spotlight. Nonetheless, there are some pretty new age touches particularly on the stunning South American Sojourn and Dark-Eyed Lady. The Unwritten Letter and Ruled By Venus have fairly captivating melodies as well.

Whereas I prefer Morning Dance and Catching The Sun to this, I respect the talents of Spyro Gyra as they certainly have several captivating moments on 20 20. ~ G. J. Wiener

While I prefer the early Spyro Gyra albums, this is my favorite of their later releases. It has alot of funky bass, and some of Beckstein's best recorded saxophone in years. Also, it avoids some of the pitfalls of other later date SG albums with no corny vocals or meandering easy listening experiments, sticking to the smooth jazz saxophone. Very relaxing and recommended. ~ musicfan28if
