Spyro Gyra have been masters of their particular style of jazz, which falls somewhere into the loose category of technically accomplished easy listening popularized by Weather Report, since their mid-1970s inception. Their umpteenth album in this vein doesn't disappoint, being chock-full of the kind of impeccably performed instrumental jazz that's garnered them a worldwide following. The Latin-tinged, shape-shifting time signatures of "Impressions of Madrid" demonstrate a mastery of musical subtlety, while the funky "Lil' Mono" proves that the band can still swing for the fences with the best of them.
