Saw these guys in Amsterdam ~1985. Jay Beckenstein was on fire. To my amazement, was actually even more on-point even than the great David Sanborn who also performed earlier that day. Great memory! Thnx for the decades of fantastic music, gents!!
THEY ARE FROM HEAVEN! THEY NEVER TAKE A BREAK AND SEEM TO NEVER GET TIRED! WHAT A GREAT GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS WHO NEVER STOP BEING CREATIVE! GOD BLESS SPYRO GYRA!
Been listening to these guys since day #1. They never disappoint. Had the great opportunity to see them in person twice, once in the 80's, once last year, both in small venues. SImply great!
I could listen to this all damn day. Such great players. Super underrated, I think. Still absolutely wailin’. Able to pivot out of “smooth jazz” easily and play straight-ahead jazz with ease, of course. Fun to listen to. Jay Beckenstein is a fantastic saxophonist. How many guys have imitated that sound? Gorgeous, gorgeous alto sound. It’s sorta the prototypical modern alto sound in a lot of ways. At least post-1975 or so.
It's great that they're exploring and playing some of the unique (and best) tunes from their back catalogue that had been rarely played during the 1995's-2010's
В середине 80х впервые их услышал, но не впечатлился, потому что на первом плане был ковердейл, дип перпл, блэкмор, - прошли годы, и я просто на седьмом небе от их музыки и их профессионализма
Yo los fui a ver en concierto con Groover Whasington Jr , aquel MAYO de 1992 en el Auditorio Nacional de la Ciudad de MÉXICO: Soy fanático de SPYRO GYRA ya hace 30 años, son fantásticos , veo que vamos haciéndonos mas maduros. En fin Adelante SPYRO GYRA gracias por toda su nueva musical... Seguiré de cerca su muy personal estilo de hacer JAZZ Contemporáneo una de mis ritmos favoritos...Con ellos me siento siempre en un ambiente muy especial ya sea en el mar o la montaña, en el campo o la ciudad, junto con la new age music me encantan!!!!
Wonder what they will sound like without tom..they are all so underrated, as most fusion groups are. So many people just have no idea what they've been missing
I remember seeing them in their early careers and have been a fan since the late 70s. The second time I saw them was in a small venue in Atlanta in 1982/83 …. Tom even played real xylophone that night - no electronic marimbas! They were fantastic & have remained a fan since the late 70s - when I think I attended a Grove City college fraternity party held in NY , south of Buffalo, and they were the musicians that evening- I was mesmerized!
La mejor banda de jazz las 2 veces que vino a México, fui a escucharlos es un grandioso espectáculo .fue en el Auditorio Nacional y en el teatro Metropolitan gracias a Dios que estén tocando ...muy virtuosos músicos.
Saw them at Jackson Rancherio Casino CA. 16 yrs ago. About 200-300 in attendance, a full house. Always interesting to see what drummer they are using as that is the only member that seems to rotate. Always amazed at how every song is perfectly memorized note for note (and eac inflection thereof) by each member, truly amazing.

Suenan súper! Son uno de mis primeros grupos de jazz que escuché y me gusta mucho su música, sus composiciones, Su rítmica, en fin... son grandes músicos, fundamentales en la escena mundial del jazz. Bravo!
When I got into playing pro, my soprano Yanagisawa was my choice because of Kenny G who I met in Austin back in 1980. But, I was greatly inspired by Jay and was wearing out my third cassette tape of Jay and Spyrogyra when I graduated from U of Texaa. His Technique Tone and Creativity is Unsurpassed. The whole group is brilliant and has been for decades. Thanks for so many wonderful memories!
I Am Tik Shiro music man from Thailand I love your music while I am painting or listening to all your songs I really cannot stop I paint your sons on my painting too I really love your artiststic heroes I’m just waiting for the band to coming back to Thailand and take a Vacation I am here for all of you krab

All the concerts from Jazz At San Javier are have an upstanding quality image and great video direction, but that is not most importanting thing when comes to jazz live concert. I think that is time they have take in consideration how important is audio. With all respect I think they have start taking that as one of the main priority on they live concert productions.

I agree.
,Just sumlply Love them
The roots of a working band. The finish of fully orchestrated arranged pieces. Just the best. Long life to them all.
Been listening to these guys since day #1. They never disappoint. Had the great opportunity to see them in person twice, once in the 80's, once last year, both in small venues. SImply great!
They put the "smooth" in smooth jazz, and defined the genre! Thanks guys!

I am a Death Metal guitarist but gotta be honest, I love their music.
Bella música, escucho a Spyro Gira hace muchos años, saludos desde Santiago de Nueva Extremadura, Chile.
Excelente, el preferido de los conjuntos de jazz. hace años, desde Joinville Santa Catarina, un chileno perdido por estas tierras.
i haven't listened to their music for ages. my loss. artistry at play
It's great that they're exploring and playing some of the unique (and best) tunes from their back catalogue that had been rarely played during the 1995's-2010's

One of the decades jazz group who is able to keep their performance well constantly..well done Spyrogyra! -July 2020
Man, Jay Beckenstein is the best!! Been listening to them since the 70s-Tom Schuman, Jeremy Wall, Dave Samuels, Scott Ambush et. al.
Wonder what they will sound like without tom..they are all so underrated, as most fusion groups are. So many people just have no idea what they've been missing

totalmente de acuerdo contigo!
At my early age way back early eighties, I always bought every album of Spyro, what a unique superb group, all are virtouso in their instrument.
When I got into playing pro, my soprano Yanagisawa was my choice because of Kenny G who I met in Austin back in 1980. But, I was greatly inspired by Jay and was wearing out my third cassette tape of Jay and Spyrogyra when I graduated from U of Texaa. His Technique Tone and Creativity is Unsurpassed. The whole group is brilliant and has been for decades.
Thanks for so many wonderful memories!
what is Jays setup in this video? Looks like a Keilwerth soprano, but I don't know the Alto?
I did not see it complete,it was great.!! I admire you guys.!
להקה פשוט מרהיבה. מוזיקאים יוצאי דופן. מזל טוב!!!

Boa tarde, muito bom esse grupo instrumental..
All the concerts from Jazz At San Javier are have an upstanding quality image and great video direction, but that is not most importanting thing when comes to jazz live concert. I think that is time they have take in consideration how important is audio. With all respect I think they have start taking that as one of the main priority on they live concert productions.
18:50 beautiful!
SUPERB!!!!!
