    Although Spyro  Gyra's late-'70s  instrumental pop  chart hit  "Morning
    Dance" is always credited by some for opening doors for the genre  that
    folks would later call smooth jazz, this 16-track compilation ù part of
    GRP's new  classic artist  collector's series  ù shows  that saxman Jay
    Beckenstein and company never  really fit perfectly into  any category.
    And that's by design. Manager Phil Brennan sequenced these tracks  with
    GRP A&R  guy Bud  Harner, wisely  choosing to  make a  live version  of
    "Morning Dance"  the last  track, something  of an  afterthought, since
    most  of  the  material  here (from  1988  through  1997)  is far  more
    challenging  and exciting.  You won't  catch the  scorching Latin  jams
    "Breakfast at Igor's"  or "Para Ti  Latino" on any  smooth station, and
    even lighthearted tracks like keyboardist Tom Schuman's "You Can  Count
    on Me"  are a  little too  island-minded to  hit the  R&B-focused genre
    listener  these days.  "Three Wishes"  is Beckenstein's  very  likeable
    attempt at a traditional jazz  approach. The band did find  some smooth
    jazz success  by finding  the right  combination with  guitarist Chieli
    Minucci on the seductive  "Ariana," but it's easy  to see from most  of
    these  tracks  that  its true  creative  heart  lay elsewhere.  They've
    survived by building  their fan base  and offering one  of contemporary
    instrumental music's best live shows year after year. It would be  hard
    for one  CD to  capture the  many facets  of a  band who's  more than a
    quarter century  old, but  this is  a must-have  for longtime  fans and
    those wanting an intro to the Spyro Gyra experience.
