The first Spyro Gyra recording. The year was 1978. Spyro Gyra had been calling themselves a group since 1974, but had not gone into the studio to record anything yet. The result was, a hit, a "soon to be classic," and seven other fusion/progressive jazz pieces. The hit was Shaker Song. And it opens up the album. It's very tame and "radio fit," and it pretty much confuses the listener to believe the rest of the album would sound like this. It's latin rhythm, and infectous beat, comes together to bring you a Spyro Gyra classic. The song got its name from the drummer, (Tom Walsh) who had used a shaker in his right hand while playing the drums at the same time. The album goes into a deep left turn with Jay Beckenstein's O'pus D'opus. It's very funk influenced. Some other good tunes on this album are Pygmy Funk, and Mallet Ballet. Mallet Ballet would become a Spyro Gyra standard. You can find a live version on the Spyro Gyra Live EP. This album is allright, but lacks something special that many other later Spyrp Gyra albums would have. This is not smooth jazz! This is the birth of a tight band. Funk, progressive jazz grooves dominate this album. There's just something that lacks in this album, but over all, it's worth the listen. |
