Original Release Date: 1996

This album starts off with a kick. The fast pumping tempo of Heart of the Night gets the blood pumping. Julio's De La Luz is an awesome song that brings out his vocal talents as well as his guitar work. Westwood Moon is my favorite song on this album. This is the pure Spyro Gyra sound that I love. Scott Ambush's bass work is incredible in this one. The rest of the album is pretty good but it does not compare to the first three cuts. Still worth the money to add to your collection. ~ Random Coolzip
Heart Of The Night is a pretty well-played record by the group Spyro Gyra. It originally debuted in 1996. That wasn't a time when they produced their best work. This cd is a minor exception to that personal fact. All of the tracks sound like pure Spyro Gyra and are played with enthusiasm.
My top 3 favorite songs from this piece are tracks 3,5, and 11. Westwood Moon is a melodic piece with a good beat and piano solo. Playtime is a nice contemporary jazz song with a crisp organ sound in it. J Squared is another good song with a terrific and hard-to-master saxophone part. Great playing by Jay.
In conclusion, this is one of their more better modern releases. The sound on this one definetly sounds like today's smooth jazz. Some of the songs sounds tend to get repetitive, since they stick to the same noise on their instruments most of the time on this record. There is a nice manual included. Worth the purchase. Thank you for taking the time and generosity to read my review. ~ James Houser
