Legendary jazz keyboardist and composer Tom Schuman, known for his four-decade-long association with the iconic band Spyro Gyra, is set to release his much-anticipated ninth solo album, "I Am Schuman," on September 30th under Sandeep Chowta’s record label, Namma Music.
This album marks a significant new chapter in Schuman’s illustrious career, offering fans an intimate glimpse into his artistic evolution post-Spyro Gyra.

With each track crafted from spontaneous improvisations, the album serves as a window into Schuman’s soul, offering listeners a raw, unfiltered experience of his musical genius.

    Hi Tom, so glad that your channel came up on my feed and to see that you’re doing well. Spyro Gyra played an amazing show for us soldiers in the Sinai in 1996. I met you after the show and you were so kind to me. We discussed different jazz artists and albums and I appreciate how generous you were with your time. Thanks again and I look forward to your next album. God bless.

    Thanks, Tom! I've been following your music since I was first starting to learn bass in the late 80's. My first love of music playing bass was jazz/fusion. It's still a mystery on how I discovered Spyro Gyra. Either I found the cassette tapes in my parts stereo storage area or I randomly bought it at the record store. I instantly made a connection with the music and have been a fan ever since. Seen you guys a handful of times out here in the SF Bay Area. When Galamon came out with their second album I was so stoked and excited you guested on it. So fast forward to now, I actually found a career in music with help to your inspiration. I compose music for hbo, netflix and mobile game apps. Needless to stay I switched from bass to keyboards! :)

    Always enjoyed your playing. I feel privileged that I got to noodle on one of your keyboards when your soundman asked me to play it during a sound check at the Roxy in Atlanta 😉 Also worked as LD for the opening act at a couple of your shows at the Variety Playhouse. As a keyboard player myself, you and Jon Lord are the 2 players I really count as influences.
