Spyro Gyra's new release Vinyl Tap, their first album of new material in six years, is sure to excite their worldwide fan base as well as to bring new listeners into the fold. Never content to rest on their prodigious work of the past, they have once again challenged themselves to apply their iconic sound to an idea that makes this release stand out from all of its predecessors. With Vinyl Tap, they have decided to craft an entire album of inventive jazz covers from pop favorites from the vinyl era. But these versions of familiar tunes will surprise the listener as well as entertain them. Whether it's turning Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love" into a Latin big band sound or making a tender ballad out of the Beatles' "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away", this release will impress at every turn. They weren't satisfied with just turning Johnny Rivers' 1960's hit "Secret Agent Man" into a rollicking party jam. They added an uptempo melody from "Alfie's Theme" to make something brand new, "Secret Agent Mash". There are also more conventional approaches with faithful versions of songs like War's "The Cisco Kid" and the Doobie Brothers' "What a Fool Believes". Spyro Gyra's haunting version of Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" is going to radio ahead of the release, so we anticipate high consumer awareness.

Press Quotes

This album is positively fabulous.

     —Art Good, host of Jazztrax

Playing with the abandon of having nothing to prove, they circumvent their worst fear of sounding like a wedding band and make everything hip, not that there's really anything here hoary. This might start out as a great guilty pleasure but stay tuned for something more.

     —Midwest Record

Wildly imaginative arrangements

     —Pink and Blue Notes

One of the most consistently commercially successful contemporary jazz groups around

     —Jazziz Magazine

I was blown away by the innovative approach found on this recording... Totally impressive.
