I didn’t know Spyro Gyra was still active. I heard of them decades ago, but they are one of those groups, for which I never knew the names of any member, only that collective brand name. Same with Weather Report, a group without a face.
I didn't until recently and then i stumbled upon their upcoming tour on FB and immediately bought tickets. Jay is mid 70's now so it's one of those things when I really wanted to hear the band live while I still could. That's happening more and more these days :(
I always called it ‘Weather Channel Music’.
Jaco Pastorius who went on to Play with Pat Metheny. Stephen Gadd; famous - Simon and Garfunkle, Steely Dan...
