Summary: Great Christmas Music, Amazing Musicianship! 2008-11-27
Comment: Finally, a great collection of Christmas music from the legendary Spyro Gyra! I do love Christmas music and personally own several hundred CD's of Christmas music. As a musician, I have a high standard of quality that I want in this type of music. This is now one of my favorites. If just for the "cool" performances of "Carol of the Bells" & "The First Noel". I really like that this disc has a nice mix of sacred and secular melodies. The gem in the collection is Jay Beckenstein's "It Won't Feel like Christmas", sung beautifully by Christine Ebersole, it should be a "new classic". No other jazz group has put out such consistantly fine music for such a long period of time (almost 30 yrs). They are the best!

Summary: Spyro Christmas... 2008-11-12
Comment: Excellent, as always. I love Christmas music and Spyro Gyra is one of my all-time favorite jazz groups so it was a no brainer for me. I think I might be the only person on the planet who didn't know Christine Ebersole could sing - not bad but I prefer these guys to stay instrumental, even though it's Christmas.
