Soho Mojo, the latest album from jazz fusion band Spyro Gyra, is a masterful work of art that showcases the group's exceptional musicianship and creativity. The album, which features ten original tracks, takes listeners on a journey through various genres, including jazz, funk, and world music, all while maintaining a cohesive sound that is uniquely Spyro Gyra.
The opening track, "Wired," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and intricate melodies. The band's signature saxophone sound is on full display throughout the album, particularly in tracks like "The Unwritten Letter" and "Falling Walls." The rhythm section, consisting of bassist Scott Ambush and drummer Lionel Cordew, provides a solid foundation for the band's improvisation and experimentation.
One standout track on the album is "Morning Dance," a reimagining of the band's classic hit from 1979. The new version features a fresh arrangement that incorporates elements of Latin music and showcases the band's growth and evolution over the years.
