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

It's a summer's night in the mid 1980's We're camping in the Namib Desert. A deep black sky shimmering with the jewels of the great milky way. Onto our 3rd bottle of 1927 KWV Port ... and Spyro Gyra booming over the oldest dunes in the world. Can't get closer to heaven than that.

I can picture your surroundings - GREAT! I had my own Spyro Gyra baptism by fire whilst sitting on top of Mariepskop (Hoedspruit), overlooking the Eastern Transvaal and hearing Morning Dance for the first time, in 1982. The experience etched into my memory for life. Needless to say, I've been a Spyro disciple ever since ...

I was opening with my band for them on a concert in the 80-ies at "Grosse Freiheit" in Hamburg Germany. After my gig we all watched their gig - it was a pure pleasures to hear and see my youth heroes on stage. That put on a great show, also the lighting mixing guy did his best to put in the best light and he knew all the kicks. Afterwards we all went out to have a pizza together. Such a joy to hang out with such nice and friendly colleagues. Thank you Spyro Gyra for all the joy you brought to my life - thank you! Nils Gessinger

Hey Nils , i also love the music of Spyro Gyra. Have almost all albums of Them. I remember that I heard you and Your band in Hamburg . Mönckebergstr. as an opener for the Hyatt hotel (?) or was it the the the galleria?. Must have been in the late 80is or 90is. Great gig too. Opened my mind to contemporary jazz music. So Spyro Gyra, Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons and 4 Play are still my all-time favorites. Stay healthy with greetings from the Elbinsel

I believe l was in my mid teens when l hear "Catching The Sun" on the radio. Went down to our local record store at the time and asked if they had the album. Had to explain it was a instrumental type of album. The fellow who ran the store said, " oh, that's more of a big city sound ", we don't carry it. Finally got my hands on the vinyl album a few months later, and still enjoy listening to it today. Carry on Gentleman. 🙂🇨🇦

We in Toronto, Canada were treated with an annual summertime visit by Spyro Gyra at ONTARIO PLACE FORUM, in the early days. An outdoor, grassy, concert bowl park on Lake Ontario. The players were awesome with great chops, and super entertaining! The percussionist would scissor-kick his symbols with his toe as he leaped in the air. The steel pan, and MARIMBA solos give Morning Dance such a cool, island-earthy vibe. I played it in high school Jazz Band, 1980. Thanks so much! 😀

My uncle always had this on his Hi-Fi, until such a tender age of 9, my equally tender ears developed craving for such exquisite goodness. I introduced the genre to my then gf, and now wife of 5 amazing years, and our relationship is built around music. We explored a lot of jazz and Spyro Gyra tops it, hands down. Now, am father to two amazing kids, they’re hearing these, and my son’s often stoic face lights up when Shaker Song turns up. True music, true art, true love. High power to you!

They were the way I discovered fusion, in 87.

But Spyro were the first and will always have a special place in my heart and my soul. Thank you guys for 40 years of unbeatable music and emotions!!

Absolutely agree 100% Daniele! Spyro Gyra was probably the most important, "gateway" band that I listened to when I was making the transition to loving Fusion and Jazz music. I bought the album, "Morning Dance" on a complete whim without knowing anything about Spyro Gyra or their music and I ended up listening to it non-stop until I bought, "Catching The Sun". There was something about the album cover art that I really liked too. It also took me a little bit of time and persistent listening, but once everything clicked there was no turning back. Been listening to these guys and digging their music since 1979!

What can you say to this Masterpiece? Amazing...... Stupendous...... Phenomenal Fantastic Sublime Wonderful, these words and words like this all fall short I'm sure most would agree. Whoever put this together, Thank you, I'm pretty sure you'll never read this........... What a Killer Band, and Top Notch, Cream of the Crop Musicians, it doesn't get any better. 🎸❤️

As a child growing up in the 70's, I was introduced to a wide range of music. The very first time I heard morning dance, I was twelve years old and wasn't knowledgeable of music theory at the time, but remember thinking, this song had the absolute best tone I had ever heard. I never knew the name of the song, but the local movie theater would play it before the movie to adjust the sound (pre thx assuming) Flash forward to a week ago when the song came on KZbin and I finally caught the title. Thank you gentlemen for creating a masterpiece in sound unmatched still today and thank you for keeping this song alive. Very nice to come across this social distancing video, I actually teared up listening to this beautiful song medley when you started morning dance 🙏🙏🙏

My dad used to play your songs so much when I was a kid. I honestly didn't understand it at all. 30+ years later, I can see why. It's so damn good. It's funny seeing my music playlist go from japanese black metal, grindcore, breakcore & glitch, into Spyro Gyra and Weather Report lmao.

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.
