Got the Magic is an album by the American jazz group Spyro Gyra.[3] It was released in 1999 by Windham Hill Records.[2]

Critical reception[]

AllMusic wrote that "mid- to up-tempo concoctions like 'Silk and Satin' and 'Havana Moonlight' make for some very pleasant listening, and the addition of old bandmate Dave Samuels' vibes on 'Breezeway' and 'Sierra' brings back the sound that attracted the group's audience in the first place."[1]
