SPYRO GYRA Down The Wire (2009 UK 11-track CD album - This contemporary jazz group have been producing successful albums for over three decades. Like their their hit album 'Morning Dance', 'Down The Wire' was not recorded as one might expect in Manhattan. Instead the recording of their first and latest albums took place in the relaxed atmosphere of a studio in Buffalo, New York. With highlights including the title track, a piece propelled by a semi-funky undercurrent established by bassist Scott Ambush and drummer Bonny B and the more laid back 'Unspoken', where percussionist Gerardo Velez, a former member of Spyro Gyra, makes a guest appearance. 'La Zona Rosa' is a high-energy Latin piece which spotlights Julio Fernandez's edgy virtuosity on electric guitar.).
