This great follow-up to <i>Original Cinema<\/i> is packed with original songs from members of the band and features several guest musicians including Billy Kilson on drums and Dave Samuels on vibes. The recording opens with &#8220;Summer Fling,&#8221; an upbeat composition that fills the mind with the instant gratification that comes with the fun of summer. Treading firmly in straight-ahead jazz territory are Jay Beckenstein&#8217;s saxophone riffs and Billy Kilson&#8217;s jazz drumming on &#8220;As You Wish,&#8221; one of four exceptional songs Beckenstein contributed to the CD. <\/p>\n<p>  Dave Samuels&#8217; cool vibes add a very colorful percussive layer to the background of &#8220;Joburg Jam,&#8221; a funky jazz\/rock, rhythmic piece. His brief solo gives way to Julio Fernandez&#8217;s skronk-rock riffs  before Beckenstein resumes his winning ways on soprano saxophone. This is a true jam session that will have you out of your seat. The Deep End is by far one of Spyro Gyra&#8217;s most versatile offerings and rightly deserves the worldwide acclaim it has received. The musicians that comprise Spyro Gyra have truly formed a rare ensemble that is both mature, entertaining, fresh and in the music for the long haul!     <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-size:14px\">    <br \/>   Reprinted with permission of&#8230;<br \/><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-size:14px\">    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundsoftimelessjazz.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/sotjlogo.gif\" width=\"540\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a>    <\/font><\/p>\n<p>      <cfinclude template=\"adbanner.asp\"><?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/cfinclude><\/font><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Deep End Spyro Gyra (Heads Up &#8211; 2004) by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3375\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
