Spyro Gyra

BIOGRAPHY

Known for their melodic, adventurous fusion of jazz with R&B, Latin, and world music, Spyro Gyra first united in Buffalo, NY in 1974 and created an original new framework for contemporary jazz and instrumental music that has now endured for a remarkable half a century. The band have since performed more than 10,000 shows on six continents and released more than 35 albums, garnering them 13 GRAMMY® Award nominations along with multiple RIAA Gold & Platinum certifications for sales in excess of 10 million worldwide. Jubilee now commemorates the milestone 50th anniversary of Spyro Gyra’s formation with classic songs and fan favorites from their groundbreaking early repertoire, with highlights including their first Billboard “Hot 100” smash, “Shaker Song” and the #1 AC hit single, “Morning Dance,” the latter featured on the band’s RIAA Platinum-certified second album of the same name.

Long hailed for their relentless live schedule and dynamic, inventive performances, Spyro Gyra – Jay Beckenstein (saxophone), Julio Fernandez (guitar), Chris Fischer (keyboards), Scott Ambush (bass), and Lionel Cordew (drums) – will mark their Jubilee year with an eagerly anticipated world headline tour, including dates across the US and Europe through March 2025.
