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!
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
Excelente concierto! De un grupo tan emblemático como es Spyro Gyra, Bravo ! Festival de San Javier, Venga otro evento post pandemia ... para 2024. Gracias
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!!!!
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.
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 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!
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!
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
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!
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 am from Japan. My name is Kay Kurashima. lf you knowMr.Jean Mark Lebrondwho was with Bell Asbestos Company, please tell him that I still remember him and strongly want to contact him. My E-mail address: k_astone_59@docomo.ne.jp Yours sincerely.
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
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.
Какая игра вместе! Супер! Тути превосходное! Как пять человек играют как Биг Банд! Каждый музыкант заслуживает внимания! Замечательно! Как же вам это удается ребята?

Spyro Gyra mejor grupo..los sigo desde muy joven...saludos desde Perú
They put the "smooth" in smooth jazz, and defined the genre! Thanks guys!
Джаз обожаю с детства и эта группа не исключение, много раз слушала их композиции, слушаю до сих пор, хотя мне уже 66
The roots of a working band. The finish of fully orchestrated arranged pieces. Just the best. Long life to them all.
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!
I agree.
,Just sumlply Love them
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 am a Death Metal guitarist but gotta be honest, I love their music.
fui apresentado ao Spyro Gyra no 1° Festival de Jazz de São Paulo em 1978. e no 2° Festival de Jazz de São Paulo em 1980. o som deles me impregnou.
i haven't listened to their music for ages. my loss. artistry at play
One of the decades jazz group who is able to keep their performance well constantly..well done Spyrogyra! -July 2020
Catching the sun 2016 woowww!!!!! Nice! Thanks!!!!

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.
Một ban nhạc đơn giản là ngoạn mục. Các nhạc sĩ xuất sắc. Xin chúc mừng!!!
I did not see it complete,it was great.!! I admire you guys.!
Amazing! Great smooth fusion jazz.

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?
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
Can you remember the first time you heard Morning Dance
I really like Summer Strut. Wish I heard it regularly. Makes me feel alive and carefree.
I still have my LP (5x) from the 80's love the band...from Québec Canada
I am from Japan.
My name is Kay Kurashima.
lf you knowMr.Jean Mark Lebrondwho was with Bell Asbestos Company, please

Imperdibili! Sound magnifico, maestria a tutto tondo. Ascoltare per credere...
Great concert. Great musicians. Great team. Very good recording.

Great jazz musicians with a universal appeal!
Magnífico, qualidade em todos os arranjos
Love the "Carry on My Wayward Son" riff during the Ambush solo!
I always really liked Tom Schuman's keyboard skills. Has always had a great sound and comping and very tasty soloing licks.
一個簡單壯觀的樂隊。傑出的音樂家。恭喜！！！
Such wonderful respect they show for each other’s talent! 😊
Still listening 2022 🥰
Great Genius Forever....forever....forever...the Best Artist magic...!

Great concert! Thanks for posting. Perhaps you could correct the title to spell their name correctly so it comes up in a search easier.
Best band ever!
En los años 80 Spyro Gira vino al Poliedro de Caracas, fue tremendo espectaculo
Настоящие и лучшие!!!
Rất hay! Trên cả tuyệt vời
Great concert. As a musician, you didn't learn to annunciate the Spanish language. Now I realize what a Gringo means.
Lindo muito lindo !!! Obrigado desde Brasil!
Sublime, no other word for it.
I like Spyro Gyra!!!
wspaniala muzyka...laduje w niebie
I love how Jay is sipping on some red wine!- Love it :)
Jay Beckenstein has been doing that up and down bouncing thing while playing since the 70's. I'm surprised he has any knees left.
54:00 Beautiful groove !!!😍
The best musician
Due for a Lifetime Achievement Grammy..... don't we think!!!???
Absolutely!!!! some of the most greatest, and talented musicians get skipped right over,
But, they spread universal love , bigger than any awards, God bless them with reward lm sure ❤❤
The line-up of the band please. Great sound and excellent skills from the band.
Yea they took us to Church at about 38:41.. Andrae' Crouch!!!!
Super !!! Super !!! Super !!!

Banda perfeita. 😁👏👏👏
I want them to play in Japan when the corona settles down!
I agree.
