    This is the song that did it for me back in 1982. After hearing it, I became a Spyro Gyra fan, and a jazz fan for life. Since that year, 1982, when I started college, jazz is all I listen to and I enjoy every second of it. My all time jazz songs are On the Stairs by Pat Martino and I'm Late, I'm Late by Stan Getz. I've seen Spyro Gyra live three times and loved it.

    The song that really opened my ears to Jazz. Oh the memories this one brings back, Thanks for posting this Gem! This song would relax me and put me in a festive mood back in the 80's better than almost anything at the time and that's saying a lot for one of the best times in the world for music, the 70's and 80's!

    "Morning Dance" by Spyro Gyra was the first used CD I bought at an indie music store called Hungry Ear in the 1980's. The bright and lively music on this CD set me on a path to new and used music CDs at indie music stores and Syro Gyra fandom.;)

    I remember hearing this when my mom would be up early cleaning and cooking breakfast, I would lay in bed and wiggle my feet to the music and Bob my head, and thinking time to get up.... she's going to play earth, wind, & fire next.!!

      Yes, same sort of memories...I was 22 & living in London UK when this came out in 1979...went out straight out and got the LP in the summer of 1979. My parents also LOVED this tune. Great memories of not having a care in the world.

    I was about 23 when Morning Dance was first released. I had the album. I haven’t thought about this recording in years. I am now 67 years old, recovering from a recent hip replacement. Thinking about listening to something that will cheer me up in the morning. Morning Dance flashed through my mind. It still works as an inspirational pick me up. Thank you for posting.

    The sound of Jay Beckenstein blowing that alto sax is mind blowing on this track, along with Rubins Bassini on congas & percussion, David Samuels on steel drum, an instrument you rarely hear in modern musc, to give it that Carribean flavour, what a brew, there you have it, one of the biggest sellers of 1979 from the Morning Dance album & it wasnt a Disco track either

      J Eshun Your comment made me listen to it to the end and you are 100% correct. They played with such ease, never over playing. Jay grew up in my area, but I never knew him before he made it. Whenever I did go see them back in the day, family and friends he gathered with, so I did not interrupt. But he seemed like a nice guy.

I don't have a record player so I'm staring at this vinyl on the wall in my garage area where I spend most of my time thinking"I can't remember if I ever played that one" back when I had a way to play the vinyl. Nothing like the sound of a vinyl you just can't replicate it
