Spyro Gyra / Night Before Christmas CD

If there's one band that pretty much defines the appellation smooth jazz, it would have to be Spyro Gyra. Their combination of slick, inspired musicianship and lighthearted melodies have made them decade-spanning stars. A NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS finds saxophonist Jay Beckenstein and company re-inventing Christmas favorites. Ex-Manhattan Transfer singer Janis Siegel joins Gyra drummer Bonny B in a bluesy duet for "Baby It's Cold Outside," and former member Dave Samuels guests, lending his shimmering vibes to "Winter Wonderland." A NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS is a nice seasonal topping for your holiday treats._x000D_ Spyro Gyra: Julio Fernandez (guitar); Jay Beckenstein (saxophone); Tom Schuman (piano); Scott Ambush (bass instrument); Bonny B (drum).
