#SpyroGyra #Jazz #Music
First introduced to these guys when I was 23 years old, I’m 66 now and have loved them for all these years. Pure class
Same age as me. I bought their first album and every album since.
I have been fortunate enough to have introduced to it by my Dad at the tender age of 6...now it is my memory of him and i carry it forward to my 3 boys...#timeless
Now...this is what I call...MUSICIANSHIP...EXCELLENT, WORLD CLASS MUSICIANS...NOT BULLSHIT SOUND MACHINES!!
Yes! Yes! I was 20 and they came to Akron, Ohio when I was in college. Been in love ever since!
I was 22 when I hooked to
These guys and that started it all . Now I'm, m 65 and still loving it.
I've been listening to these cats for years and it never gets old .....
Play'on my brothers....!
WOW I was thinking the same thing AMEN Brother.
Discovered them in the 80's. When I got to college I'd open the windows on a rainy evening, load up a couple of their cassettes to decompress...usually with a beverage or two containing hops and barley. Good times!
Right on brother. My 3 fave songs plus Philly. Brings me back to 1979.
They are like family....listening Spyro since 40 yrs.
Beer and hopes/ 70’s / umm 🤔 / might bit more than that/Red bud and seeds/!!✌️
40 years later and it still sounds fresh. REAL talent, REAL musicians, REAL instruments (plus some help!)
What do you mean by "plus some help"? Like pre-recorded?
Rodolfo Saenz I interpreted that as the software instruments and patches used on the aux keys.
Mega ditto!
@@rodsaenz3975 p0mppp
@@youlerab8762 didn't get that!
I dig Spyro Gyra for a long time. I am 70 years old now. God bless Spyro Gyra great sound.
They were introduce to me by my older brother,when i was 40"s nd now am 64,still loves to listen to their album..relaxes my brain.Thankyou guys for sharing your talents,/Longlive..
I just can't explain how this music makes me feel, it's SO together
Very cool relax jazz music
It feels like a summer day. Late after noon in the park. Carefree!
I can explain WHY it makes you feel that: they're musicians of the highest caliber. a good composition can feel fresh for decades, as this piece shows!
because you are old and smart like i am...
I've struggled with this same emotion - here's my take - no matter what life is throwing at you, this music makes you feel like: 'things are gonna be OK'.
Tom Schuman is my man.
I asked him after a Concert in Germany on which college he studied music. He answered that he never had any lessons but learned playing the keys all by himself... amazing...
Here in the Philippines
We call that
Uwido
Catching the tune all by himself/herself
Without any formal training
@@anthonyb.corrales4470 English equivalent is autodidact.
Alex Emhardt - This is incredible. My dad's dad, and my dad also learned keyboards by ear, and I blended that with some formal lessons. Tom Schuman is so talented - and worth following. He and Jay are the heart of this band, but backed up by the best talent in all the jazz fusion world. Please check out some of Tom's solo work - you wont be disappointed.
I celebrated finishing every exam I'd taken by going home and playing "Morning Dance".....insanely uplifting...thank you
Jay and the band still sound great! I remember seeing Spyro Gyra at Jack Daniels on Forest Ave. near Buff State College in Buffalo. I was playing trumpet in a disco band in 1975 and only had Sunday and Monday nights off. Cover charge was 25 cents and I loved them!!! I have all their albums and saw them at the Newport Jazz festival in Saratoga. Thanks for the amazing playing and sounds!!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! For the trip down memory lane and for helping us to maintain our sanity during this global pandemic...You have definitely made my work day really enjoyable and allows me to get through the day. REAL MUSIC! REAL MUSICIANS!!
I had the chance to see BST at the Infinity Hall a few years ago and was able to see the band after. I told them thank you for bringing me back to much simpler time in life. I know they understood!! I'm 62 now and they were awesome!!!!
It’s great isn’t it.
Music is like that oily water the Alchemists talked about as the first matter. From a basic material a near infinite myriad of forms, and we all bump heads over to make something beautiful.
True legends in every sense of the word. 45 years and counting!
Who is this guy who disliked this video? Did he even listened to this amazing music?!!
I guess he thought it was a porno flick and was disappointed.
@@questfortruth665 , hard to believe! Been listening to Spyrogyra for 40+ years. Never gets old.
@@robprotz3218 Absolutely! Me too! I have a few of their CDs in the car to remind me!
It's clear this person is not from our human planet
Hello to every one ! Those who click the " down" button probably think it's the "download" button ! Don't be mislead !
(I must admit, not my line but like it very much !)
Just envoy (good) music !
I've seen these cats three times in concert. Man, they are the best. When this pandemic dies down, I will be the first to get a ticket when they go back on tour.
This track is One of the Reason Why im hooked to JAZZ ever Since!
Me Too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤭🤭 good then. They are really amazing. Being constant throughout the time is not for everyone. There's none one of their tracks that i don't like.
Great like never before...spyro Gyra...my smooth jazz band of my young days...awesome
Wow! I am glad to be reconnected with your sounds after all these years
Still as incredible as it was yesterday!
Great music!
The world needs more musicicas like you
Spyro Gyra, a great band! ♪ ♫
Congratulations, 45 years of musical history. You're amazing guys, your style, talent and rithm are fantastic. You have a lot of fans here, in México.
Thanks for share your passion with us.
Too brilliant..Seen them in concert at Snowbird Utah back in late 80s..Loved it..God bless
The best jazz band, never goes out of style even in the pandemic times...... From Philippines.
Ayus...... Cheers!
I've loved your all's music ever since I was a waiter at the Sundial restaurant on Sanibel Island in Florida and you all were playing in the bar back in the late 70's. I got to listen to you several times a week way back then, and a few years later there you were giving a small concert at a large bar in Gainesville where I was studying at UofFla, and the albums started coming out, and I just kept buying and loving them. Thanks, guys for sharing your incredible talent. Very nice indeed! Saludos from Zihuatanejo.
Wasn't Incognito recorded there? Or around there?
Isn't that where Andy Dufresne and Red ended up? How is their boat coming along???
@@dylanchangedeverythingfore1312 Yep. Red took a bus to Florida via Fort Wayne, Texas.
@@dylanchangedeverythingfore1312 HA! In the film the boat scene was filmed at Sandy Point in St. Croix in the USVI, by coincidence a place I lived back in the early 70's. Although Stephen King says it's a work of fiction, there are parallels with real life including two ex-convicts, one named Red but the other named Henry, who came to Zihuatanejo during the 60's and fell in love with local girls. Life is even stranger than fiction.
I believe you can see "the boat" in one of my videos here. Saludos.

@@joeheid4757 If it wasn't it should've been. I've lived here for over 30 years and I'm pretty sure I would've known if Spyro Gyra came to town. BTW, the musicians Rodrigo & Gabriela live here.
Talk about bringing the sunshine out of a cloudy day. Great music always.
I covered Morning Dance with my high school jazz gang over 30 years ago --- I can close my eyes and finger every sax note still today, though I haven't picked up a horn since. Love you guys!
Jazz became popular when I was in highschool here in the Philippines back in the 80s. I love jazz!
I've always LOVED this tune. Pure joy. Great to see them in concert!
it's like heaven listening to this wonderful music ...
Magnificent I’ve never heard you guys sound better👍🏼😜
I played your Morning Dance as a wake up inspiration every morning while dressing to go to work. Loved the whole album! Thank you for performing some of my favorites.
Thank you Spyro Gyra!
Access All Areas was the album that made me love your music.
Saw your band in Elizabeth NJ many years ago. Just wonderful music. We had a great night out. Still sound absolutely awesome.
The incomparable distinctive sound that is worth listening for
I love your sound what a delight of instrumental... congratulations friends lots of light and success to you Bahia-Brasil and the world thanks you for the excellent musical quality... thank you 🌹🇧🇷🌹🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷✨✨🇧🇷🇧 🇷
Felicidades!!!!!!! Bendiciones en su caminar!!!!!!! Bella música!!!!!!!!!!!

Olha o som deles que fiz com amigos!
How i miss these guys!!! I miss Tom Schuman. Incredible musician. Their new keyboard player is really good too and a very funny guy. I wonder what is Tom doing now. I know he left USA for Europe. I love you guys. I am searching the entire UA-cam hoping to find more music played by you guys.
During my college days i used to listen to waltz music which my dad used to play on the stereo until one of the selection being played was titled morning serenade and i liked it.. But there was a time when i listened to the fm station i heard the morning serenade being played with a different and better tempo and that was the beginning or my introduction to jazz music.. Spyro Gyra wa no exception.. Until now that i am 64 i listened to the same kind of music and it soo relaxing everytime
I don’t understand why somebody would visit this channel just to hit ‘thumb down’. Must be very sad, lonely, and bitter... Splendid music!!! Thanks for your great works!!!
Cause all they know is today's crappy shit music which I've labelled RMG - Ridiculous Monotonous Garbage. Long live Spyro Gyra !!!
Love this. You were fab in Melbourne when you played too
in 1979 having heard nothing but the pop music we were fed, I was walking to work, aged 17 when I heard Morning Dance on a tiny cassette player on the small electric cart the milk delivery guy used - it changed my life At 62 now I have verything they ever did and of course they led me to Grover Washington, Ronnie Laws, and little by little, to Miles Davis, Bill Evans The Brubecks, etc My 28 yr old son continues and enhances the journey - one chance moment and a lifetime of joy Thank God or whoever loves you
I'll bet it blew your mind. My favorite is Carnival
With you brother
That is exactly the same yr I heard Spyro gyra I love their music too and I’m now 63 I know how you feel 😍😍😍😍
Rest in paradise presley!!

Excellent Spyro Gyra.................
Through out my medical course, i am listening to jazz music. That’s how i passed the board exam for medical drs, reviewing day and night. Listening to Jazz Artists like Spyrogyra has kept me awake and inspired.
With even staying at home, amazing great sound and performance! Love those early hits! Stay safe and thanks for the tunes !
The chords at 07:33 are amazing and too cool for school! Spyro Gyra rock on forever!
I am in Spyro Gyra heaven right now!!!! #foreverlove
Spyro for life!
Can't stop listening to this jazz ..
❤️ love this group ❤️ … cheers to more 🥂🎼🥂
I love how the drummer. He does not miss a beat. On que, perfect timing. Never to fast or slow.
Very tasteful sax and overall sound mix!! .
I saw these men perform in Erie Pennsylvania at the sportsman's club way back when... lol oh how this all brings back memories, thank you!!
Wow! Takes me back to my college days at Saint Louis University Baguio City, Philippines! The magic of Spyro Gyra lives on! KUDOS from Down Under 👌👌👌🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I hear this, and I want to go on a road trip! perfect music to make you happy!
Thank you for the music and the memories
My growing years! Miss those days!
How to ease pain and worry: Listen to this cool music! Wow!
1979, Im 10 years old and my Dad brings home a new record from some band named Spyro Gyra. I had never heard music such as this before but it enthralled me. Even in the 80's during my heavy metal years, Spyro Gyra was there. 42 years later, Im still a huge Spyro Gyra fan. I listened to Spyro during Desert Storm. I listen to Spyro in my patrol car as a police officer. On the weekends, when its time for a cigar and some bourbon, that means its Spyro Gyra time as well. Thank you guys, for a lifetime of great music and memories.
God the memories! I was 14-15 when I heard this band first in about 1974. Deep in the welsh valleys this was from another planet. Although it probably influenced my taste in Blue Rondo a la Turk and then Matt Bianco🤪 and the Basia!! I love all kinds of music but this resonates so much
The first time I heard Spyro Gyra, I was walking through a street in the city of Chetumal Qroo, Mex, I approached the record store and asked about the group and it was my first jazz album, more than 30 years have passed and they continue to sound just as wonderful, may God grant them many more years
I was listening to you tube videos at home. I had to stopped doing what I was doing to watch you guys. You look that you’re having so much fun playing this beautiful songs.
Thank you!
Salute!... a fan since the 80's.....you guys are amazing!...
First time I heard/saw Morning Dance on Top Of The Pops TV SHOW was in London in 1979, I flipped, in 1982 I stared a show on Radio Cairo, Egypt and was the only DJ playing this kind of music and to THIS DAY
They just don't make music like this today....pure bliss ❤️
Just saw them in concert (4/28/2024) at Buffalo State University, not far from they first began playing in the 70’s. Great group that was founded in Buffalo, NY. Jay said in his heart, he will always be a Buffalonian as he lived here for 11 years, co-founding Spyro Gyra here.
SIEMPRE HAN SONADO GENIALES!!!! MARAVILLOSA BANDA QUE HE ESCUCHADO DESDE ADOLESCENTE!!!!
When I heard these amazing guys I was in my twenties. Their music summed up all the joy and hope I had for the future. After a walk down a rocky path, now, at 67 I am reminded of that hope I had and suddenly the world seems a little bit better. Thanks for the memories guys and here’s to the years to come.
I played band arrangements of Spyro Gyra's tunes back in the late 70s/early 80s. Great stuff!
Spyro Gyra thanks for the Music!!!
Amazing as it has been for decades!
You're exceptional. Beautiful music you created. Added color to lives that heard it. Thank you.
I have listened to them since I was a child, my father used to play his records and it still sounds the same. Blessings to you.
To the One who brings most Joy
Mind-blown! Like hearing them for the very first time (when in fact I've been listening to Spyro for 40+ years)!
Bravo, bravo, bravo...
Have loved you guys since 1980. Saying thank you for all the years just doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Hope to see you again soon. Love…
I love you guys and your music is exquisita los sigo desde muchos años son lo maximo me relaja
This is some good stuff! It makes me feel wonderful. I would have a great time dancing to the 💓.
Can't believe it, Korg X50! my favourite jazz band since I was in college
June 15 2023 now and still listening! 😍❤ my idol since i was in highschool.
So cool seeing you guys up close producing those classic smooth jazz sounds. ALL are great, but that bass is just so incredibly laid down. And the creative sounds created on the keyboard - almost disappointed; could have sworn decades ago that real marimba and steel drums were included - Impressive!
So sweet in a tough time -- thanks, guys.
you guys are awesome musicians 👍🏿
Nel loro genere i migliori in assoluto...!..
Melhor banda do planeta ...... Show 🇧🇷👍😃🎹🎵
Pure Magic!!!
Simply Brilliant.. love it
I absolutely love 💘 this spyro gyro
You can bow to so much musicality from these guys.
Bassist has a fabulous tone
These guy's music bring such a nostalgia to my life ❤❤❤
Excellent ! Woooow !!!
Great, great, great sound!!!
Realmente son fantásticos, qué calidad de músicos, excelente musical, un gran abrazo desde chile!!!!!
Spyro Spyro. That s music. That s dance. That s the rythm of my body. I love it.❤
Had the chance to see them preform live and will never forget the groove!!!!!
i remember when they broke out with the advent of Aussie FM radio around 1977/78 towards end of my uni days. They do some pretty ballads too. I also remember when their 1992 Three Wishes hit it big featuring Jay Hernandez’s fantastic Les Paul-esque gtr work! Ahh the days cruising about in my MG with a Spyro Gyra mix tape! Look how relaxed & chilled their bassist is … maybe it’s a required personality trait. My bassist was like that & off-stage too. Very tasty gtr work from soulful Jay👌. My fav Spyro Gyra clip
Another reason I love this genre..
from Japan. I learned about Shaker Song on the cover of Manhattan Transfer. Ritchie Cole's play is great, but the original performance is still the best.
Spyro Gyra's album was my favorite listening board when I was in my twenties.
Covid jam.. is this awesome! Love it
Just found out y'all are coming to Jacksonville at the end of September. See you there.
Witnessing Julio Fernandez in his own world during a Spyro Gyra session is always an extra bonus.
65 and still love this music
