Spyro Gyra has long been known to its peers in the contemporary jazz world as a “well oiled road machine” due to its relentless schedule of 48 years of performing. To date, they have logged more than 10,000 shows on six continents and released 35 albums, garnering platinum and gold records along the way. Spyro Gyra rose from humble beginnings in Buffalo, New York in 1974 to their current international prominence in the jazz world.
Every year, they continue to exhibit how to remain among a relative handful of artists who will be able to say that they have worked constantly in their 50 year career in the year 2024. Their energy and joy in concert match their unmatched musicality.

Jaco Pastorius who went on to Play with Pat Metheny.
“Bright Size Life” came out 50 years ago this year. I think Jaco only played with Pat on Joni Mitchell’s ‘Shadows and Light’ tour after that.
Joni got real upset with him, he was not taking her direction :)
Yes, Spiropolus Gyronno Agnew.
Check out this website for the Church of Democrat wymyn. I think Nancy the Belligerant is the Pope of that church and Alexanra the Knownothing is a high priestess of that cult.

I bought my first real. high-end stereo in early 1978 — Mark Levinson ML-1 preamp, two Kenwood L07M amps, and Dahlquist DQ 10 speakers. Loved playing Steely Dan on it that winter!
Still have the amps, too! But in storage, not being used.
We played a few Spyro Gyra covers back in the day.
I would hope so real saxophonist :)
