    This song converted me to Jazz at age 12 in 1979 and I've never looked back since. You can listen to every instrument in isolation and enjoy it. Today, all the instruments play the same beat and you get bored after listening to it once. You can never get bored listening to this 20X a day. Just brilliant.

    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.

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.

    Totally forgot this was the hit that first brought the group's unforgettable name to my attention, but like someone commented below, I instantly remembered every twist and turn in it. Must have been on the radio constantly in its prime. Fun to hear it again, love the steel drum in there, but wow, did this hit fall off all the radio playlists since the early 1980s!

Jazz was one of his many favorite genres of music. Some people don't listen to music. I'm glad I'm not one of them.
