Es ist nicht bekannt, ob Jay Beckenstein vor langer Zeit der Klassenbeste im Biologieunterricht war. Klar ist aber, dass der Musiker aus New York Anfang der 1970er-Jahre auf die Idee gekommen ist, seine Band nach einer Gattung der Grünalgen zu nennen. Von dieser Spezies sind rund 4000 Arten beschrieben, und genauso beständig, wie Grünalgen Gewässer besiedeln, so konstant tummeln sich Spyro Gyra - so der Band- und Grünalgenname - seit fast 50 Jahren in der Welt des Jazz.
Über 10.000 Gigs hat die US-amerikanische Jazz-Fusion-Band in fünf Jahrzehnten auf sechs Kontinenten gespielt, sie wurde mehrfach mit dem Grammy ausgezeichnet und hat mehr als 30 Alben veröffentlicht, etliche Gold- und Platinauszeichungen eingeheimst und über zehn Millionen Tonträger verkauft. Fester Ankerpunkt bei all dem, was Spyro Gyra in ihrer langen Karriere gemacht haben, ist dabei Fusion. Die Musiker um das Gründungsmitglied, den Saxofonisten Jay Beckenstein, kombinieren smoothen Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Funk, Latin, Pop und Rock und kreieren daraus einen Sound, der vor allem immer eins ist: stilistisch offen und breit gefächert. „Kunst manifestiert sich in einer Vielzahl von Stilrichtungen und Kontexten. Deshalb haben wir überhaupt erst begonnen, Musik zu machen” - so die Philosophie von Spyro Gyra.
Mit kreativer Energie, komplexer Spielfreude und großer Musikalität sind Spyro Gyra bis heute in der Welt des zeitgenössischen Jazz auf den Bühnen dieser Welt unterwegs. Und dabei haben sie immer etwas auf dem Schirm, was auch bei ihrer namensgebenden Algenart eine Rolle spielt: Artenvielfalt.

The quality of this (sound + video) recording confirms what I've been thinking for decades : technicians actually are artists doing their craft with machines.
For a such a band, it takes a huge talent to make the final piece sound and look soooooo damn perfect !
In 1982 Spyro Gyra was the guest band at the renowned Elmhurst Jazz Festival and as band soloists in the competition we had the chance to jam with them the morning before the competition. What an amazing experience as an 18 yr old trumpet player. We had the competition during the day and they performed the concert at night at the beautiful Scottish Rite Auditorium. Before their performance they announced the competition awards and fortunately I won the trumpet soloist award. What a life highlight that I will never forget. Thank you SG for so many years of amazing music!
Loved these guys since the 70's, still sounding great, amazing.

getting better all the time,,, loved them then, love them now. Wow!
Is it the same lineup?
We all miss Dave Samuels, though!
Would like to thank the Audio Engineer and the team on a such a beautiful recording.
It sounds like it is recorded in a studio.
Everything is so, so, so well balanced and it alsi speaks a lot about the preparation gone into band rehersals.
Smooth😊
You just took the words out my mouth or shall I say my fingers to type this. Very true, the audio is so clean. And the Spyro Gyro band is musically tight as always.
ditto!
completely agree!
the video recording as well. excellent
you're right, I'd cry just to hear the intro knowing this is live
AWESOME....can't get enough of SPYRO....THEY JUST GET BETTER WITH TIME ! SOOTHING TO THE SOUL & EARS.
My father took me to see them as a kid, I wanna say in the late 70’s or early 80’s. At the time I wanted to go play football in the street outside. Over the years I never forgot that name Spyro Gyra. So when we started digging in my pops crates for samples I knew that name would have sample gems for days. I bought a bass and use to play along. I love the many moods the songs took you thru. In my head their songs reminded me of being outside in different times of the day. And at different places. My pops was a musician/ composer/ director, so I was exposed to many different types of music. I’m a WESTCOAST B-boy from the Chi. Seen a lot of the legends over the years. But till remember many of these songs at 52 yrs old.
Jay Beckenstein is the PERFECT Smooth Jazz sax player - never overplays, always plays exactly what's needed and nothing more. Never self-indulgent. His ego never seems to enter his playing. Pure and smooth. Such a sensible and correct musician. Same with Tom Schuman. Plays exactly what's needed, and nothing more. Mature players.
always melodious. I love melodies
Perfeito
Todavía me veo caminar por las calles de mi ciudad escuchando a esta excelente banda en mi bella adolescencia salvándome del oscio y sin saberlo construyendo un destino del cual todavía no me arrepiento. Gracias mil a todos estos virtuosos que a muchos de nosotros nos inyectaron una energía creativa, que aun no se me acaba... Grandes músicos para una Generación Extraordinaria.
When I was 16 I remember listening to Spyro Gyra in my bedroom and being inspired as I learned to play the sax. Fast forward 43 years later…I now play bass and sax. Still being inspired by these wonderful artists. Thanks Spyro Gyra!
Q maravilha eu amo
My favorit combination - bass & sax. But I play only bass.... yet 🙃
Q envidia y q buena inspiracion
I have respect for the Audio Engineer, Thank You. You made us feel like we were there at the concert. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼. And Thank you Spyro Gyra for 48 years of good music 👍
Weather Report brought me to spyro gyra. Absolutely no regrets 😊

GOAT❤👍😊
These Gentlemen bring the vibes that enrich our souls and guide us toward our highest forms, they bring that FONK AND THAT FLAVAH! I BE FEELIN' IT...
Humble geniuses is what they are ! Love them.
They will never sound this clean since Mr. S. left. Still one of the best contemporary Jazz groups.
MAGNICENT GROUP!
JAZZ FUSION da melhor qualidade. Música Alimento pra Alma.
Outstanding group of musicians even better than the 70's.
Loved...all musics influenced band!🔥🎷🥁🎹🎸👍✌️
Excelente.
From Brazil.
Still sound good after all these years. Lost a bit of that sunny sound of theirs, but what can one do, we all got older. Wonderful, all the same.
Toujours aussi épatant 😢❤❤❤
De mon enfance début des années 90 mon tympan apprivoisé leur son et maintenant je m'en passe sans cesse de les écouter, c'est le remède.
La thérapie idéale 😊
Almost 5 decades since they started out. I've been following them '77-78 when my brother came home with their first record. Seen them a handful of times over the years. Tom joined the band in' 77. They have consistently put out fresh compositions and had top quality musicians. They still have fun together. It's refreshing.
Score 10 i salute spyro gyra listen jazz music
My brother also introduced me to them and I am so grateful. Some of the greatest sounds....Love them!!
I was about 15 when I accidentally bought a used copy of Catching the Sun in 1982. I had never heard anything like it in my small town. That was my first exposure to jazz and it didn't click with my friends who worshipped Van Halen and ZZ Top. But I fell in love with jazz and have been a fan ever since, thanks to that accidental album purchase. They sound even better now than back then.
Van Halen, I have those ex-friends, too! No musical taste.
Tip Top Wenn der Tag mal schlecht war oder ist . Einfach Spyro Gyra hören die Nebenwirkungen ....sind gute Laune 😀 Tja Pech für Big Pharma gut für Spyro Gyra 🤗🤗🤗
Man am I glad I found this. Made my day. I love this group. Always great arrangements and fantastic musicianship. Love the bass lines of their stuff.
Always liked this band. The range of dynamics is amazing.
These guys have always been awesome, and they keep getting better with time!
At least 20 times. Just saw this show in Pompano Beach Florida two weeks ago. Outstanding! My favorite band.
they are amazing. and what longevity! have seen them many times in the states since early seventies! sometimes they played with The Rippingtons. Jay and Tom are superb!
Do you have any idea what is the line up cuz I know Spyro with drummers Richie Morales and Joel Rosenblatt
This is a Wonderful display of extremely talented musicians! They are all masters of their instruments. In addition they are extremely tight with all of their arrangements. This is a marvelous concert. Thank you for sharing this with us...
So Amazing to see this .
A Great band . Sounding so fresh after 40 + years
Великолепно.Люблю этих ребят.
anyways so fine !!
listening from 18 years old ~ i'm now 64 years old.
still it is so fine !!
Timeless, though I have aged to 66, their music hasn't.
I am similar. I discovered them when I was 21 or 22 and now I'm 67!
Spyro Gyra & Four Play are two of the greatest fuzion jazz band of all time!!!
Rippingtons too! …FourEightyEast also
Lets Not forget The Yellow Jackets
Now that’s some KICK ASS Videography! Such clear audio with fantastic edit job. This song is fantastic!
Well done everyone 😎👍
Bingo Sir

Amazing. Bass and drum solo awesome!
Великолепно! Браво!
Recuerdo por allà finales de los 70`s y principios de los 80`s con la estaciònn aquella en la ciudad de Mèxico, llamada "Jazz FM", donde constantemente musicalizaban con Spyro Gyra.
Jay Beckenstein’s saxophone playing is immediately recognizable..
Desde anos 70 sempre ouvindo esses feras...Fantásticos...🤗👋👋👋👋👋
Great concert, amazing jazz rock music! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day
great sound, energy, and just so crisp for a live show!🎉😊😎 They are all true masters!
GOAT 👍✌️♥️
Spyro are still in good sound, groove along with Rippingtons! Saw them once live in late 90s. Greetings from Jazzman KUL.
amo Spyro Gyro, los oigo desde hace mas de 20 años, son los musicos que todos siempre quisimos ser
Los Ortiz siempre aspiramos a eso.
Un son, un balancement, un feeling...en un mot un vrai style perso de qualité !
Очень классно!!!!! Отличная запись и хороший звук!!!!!! Жду в таком же качестве звезд мирого рока. Если это возможно. Джаз это супер но больше нравится рок. От чистого сердца желаю всех благ.
Согласен с Вашим мнением! Но к сожалению это не возможно. Вся рок музыка строится на перегруженном звучании и диких эмоциях, которые возможно обуздать только в студийной обстановке.А в джазе практически нет перегруженной гитары, да и импровизации сродни полёту мысли и души. Говорю с позиции музыканта, как бывшего рокера и нынешнего джаз мена.
Это и есть джаз-рок!это супер исполнители..
Awesome recording of awesome music! Wonderful energy and it feels as good today as it did decades ago when I really needed it the most. Thanks to all for this gift you all gave to the world.
One of my favourite bands still going strong! What beautiful music! :)
Thanks WDR Rockpalast and all those it took to record and post this high quality video and audio. I really enjoyed it. And thanks Spyro Gyra for the great show and all the years of great music. We saw this tour in Atlanta in 2022 and loved it. It’s nice to see it here.
Great 'conversations' between instruments. Musicians at the top of their game. Plus, outstanding audio and camera work!!!!
Wow...this band plays like one. One instrument. As a drummer - I loved the bass player and drummer featured song - how awesome. The way the bass player "danced" the bass line. How incredible. Thank you...
In Awe of these Masters of their trade! Exquisite melodies filling the air. 👂
Always, amazing band. Virtuosos, thanks so much for share this video. Blessings
I was into them in my college days (late 70's). Glad they're still playing. Kudos to the recording engineer(s) - Sounds great!
And Scott Ambush can have his fair share of admiration.
Will all due respect to the whole band... what a musician, in another class !
Love the sound quality, absolutely amazing!
What a group, what a sound, what talent, what skill = A MUSICAL EXPERIECE.
The sound of the solid body 6 string is a beautiful cross between the hollow body electric jazz and the smooth lead of a compressed and overdriven preamp. And that beautiful horn, the sax fills the room like a brass band (with help of keyboards) or solo with all expression anyone can hope to drive out the instrument. Percussion and bass driving it all or in perfect accompany with lead, fills that are perfect in just the right amount of complexity to enhance the group and not close them out. he gives air to the double kick (one or two pedals?) bass drum and every part of the kit has its own space. Fingered E bass, with timing slides and tone that enhance and move us, literally! This bass player is full of complex articulations and speed to excite us. The bass sounds fretless at times, he has found two guitars in one. Keys, wow, subtlety soloing with the strength needed to come out and play, but filling the group with warmth and background textures of perfection. And this is just the recording, as balanced and detailed as it is, cannot hope to capture the gentle articulations we are missing from the skill of these instrumentalists.
It all takes me back and forward to today, back to the days of my teens in the 70s as a musician and audiophile, collecting the vinyl of Weather Report, Bob James, The Crusaders, Herbie, Chuck and Doc, and many more. And now today, just as good as 50 years ago, timeless music so pleasing to the ear and engaging to the mind, flowing into the heart and soul. And today with Spyro Gyra taking me on the journey with them to a wonderful heavenly place of music.
The good and bad of UA-cam as I sort through the new and old music on here, so rare to hear what Spryo Gyra is doing today with talent, skill, orchestration, arrangement, composition all as one. This UA-cam contribution is the top of my day, week, year for finding music on UA-cam.
We missed these guys in 2022 in Phoenix at the MIM because of a traffic jam that closed I-10 from the south. This is most likely the playlist that we didn't get to see live. These guys are dynamite in person... thank you for posting this one!!! Cheers...
World class musicians. All inclusive play from the group. One the greatest bands in the world. Long live Spyro Gyra. -- SM
When Iisten to jazz funk it's like every artist is bringing a meal to be shared on a Thanksgiving meal so good
This is best band jazz ever
This is MUSIC!!!!!
They are complete ameyzing mbravo
J'ai eu le bonheur de les voir en concert à Bruges (Belgique) à l'automne 2013... concert à jamais gravé dans ma mémoire et dans mon coeur de mélomane !... ;-)) ❤ Quels musiciens extra-ordinaires ! Quelle gentillesse, quelle simplicité et quelle humilité... dignes des 'grands' artistes !... Quel show ils nous ont offert, et ce malgré le public présent très (vraiment trop !) peu nombreux ! ... J'aurais tellement aimé pouvoir les voir en concert dans les mêmes conditions qu'à l'occasion de ce festival de Leverknuser !... Plein de bonnes énergies et d'amour à tous les auditeurs/spectateurs de leur musique 'intemporelle'... PEACE & LOVE TO EVERYONE ! Marie. Bruxelles... ;-))
Saw SG in Las Vegas many years ago! This guys are awesome!
My hero's......I am so glad that I can feel their music.....thanks
Wonderful Jazz Fusion band! I saw them live in Mexico City!
Спасибо за прекрасную музыку!
They are so goooood! Me too. Fan since beg'80s. They have the power to be innovative years after years but still keeping the same direction, the same sound, the same energy. Increbible guys. And they remain young! Impossible to get tired of them.
Morning song... those were the days. Spyro had the Gyro...💯💥😎👌👆💯💪 For my bruthas, and Brio... 😎💥💥👆🎶
I got to watch these guys live last year in Rochester New York and I’m still smiling from the experience 😎 ! Big fan ! They’re all phenomenal in their own right..
Man, the hours I spent listening to this band in my youth. They and the music have aged well! Great stuff!!
Still a PHENOMINAL band!!! One of my absolute favorites since the 1970s and going STRONG!!!!!
Everytime you listen to Spyro-Gyra you never hear the same song played twice in the same manner. This just show you how good the guys are! Tom, you're the best! If anyone ever says that they can find a band playing like these guys, I'll just play them one of their songs and they're hooked. Keep it up guys, I yet have to find another band paying like you do!
I have been following these guys since their first album in the 70s. They have souned great with their all original songs. I love you guys
Right on. Evey time they play their repertoire, never is the same. the guys got inspiration, perhaps the vibes, different ubication where they play. But that is their secret to play excelent jazz.
I'll HAZE YOU Papas ÷÷😢😢😂😮😊"
Jazz is the most toughest world music ever to compose & create must need musical geniuses like Spyro Gyra since the 80's I was just a new fan from the late 90's brilliant jazz musicals as usual thank you for sharing
Thumbs up❤
WOW,WOW, WOW! What else can be said about a live performance? I only regret not having been there. GREAT PERFORMANCE GUYS!!!
Musik, Instrumentalisten, Alles Vom Allerfeinsten !! :-))))))))
Damn. I started listening to these guys about 45 years ago.
Your drummer and bassist are playing wonderfully and very consistently
I am very comfortable listening to them play
I especially loved the drummer's playing
It’s one of a kind. I like their music since I was a kid. They are genius. Spyro Gyra is the best.
Absolutely fabulous!!!!!! I have loved Spyro since a young child ( now 53) This was a great watch- will probably watch again and again :)
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 for me not only in jazz one of the best bands of all time !!! God bless them and let them play together for a long time 🙄
WOW! What a Beautiful Sound and Video Fantastic playing and Sound Engineering and Amazing Video Camera work and Directing and Lighting! High End Production!
Very nice. I put you on the shelf for about 48 years and now you're back! Thanks for sticking around.
So smooth. I love this band. Thank you,.
I saw them live at one of the first "Taste of Chicago" festivals, the crowd loved 'em! That was probably 1979.
Go see them every year. Must have seen them 25+ times. Always play perfect.
Beautiful fantastic amazing band 💫🎷💪🎶❤️❤️
Tonight one of my life's dream was fulfilled. My wife and I saw Spyro Gyra live at the Broward in Ft Lauderdale Center .
🕊️🍃Waouh, bravo Franck, bravo bravo bravo respect pour ton investissement véritable dans tout ce que tu fait, et pour les personnes que tu aimes avec intelligence émotionnelle, respect et sensibilité!!!

Extraordinario cierre con "OIld San Juan". Simplemente, concierto excepcional.
Seems like I been listening to these cats since the OG lineup!!! ❤❤❤❤
finally after 30 years Spyro posted a decent recording on UA-cam! Excellent sound/mix quality
Awesome jazz music, guys!thanks
Longevity. This band continues to stand out for their compositions and musicianship. Saw them several times in my youth back in the 80s. Had the great fortune to hang out with them ever so briefly after their show at Breedings, a small club in Lexington sometime around 83 or 84. What genuine and truly great guys Tom Schuman and Jay Beckenstein are. Love this band!
Awesome! I was raised in Buffalo, New York. The same home town they were from. I use to sit in on their jam sessions at "THE CENTRAL PARK GRILL" back in 1979. Jim was the bassist at that time.
Simply freaking awesome. I had the honor to work in radio back in the late 80's early 90's for a smooth jazz format that had these guys on playlist. Old San Juan is one of their classics. I think that came out in 86-87. Loved their music ever since.
Saw them in 1976 at umass in amherst,sound even better now!!!!
Awesome! Thanks!
