Spyro Gyra live | Leverkusener Jazztage 2022 | Jazzline

[@vernhillbass905]

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!

[@OzeiasPacheco-n7v]

Q maravilha eu amo

[@vladimirsandtner4438]

My favorit combination - bass & sax. But I play only bass.... yet 🙃

[@MZapatel1975]

Q envidia y q buena inspiracion

[@luckymanindeed]

Man, the hours I spent listening to this band in my youth. They and the music have aged well! Great stuff!!

[@jptaylor]

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.

[@ericbocericB]

always melodious. I love melodies

[@OzeiasPacheco-n7v]

Perfeito

[@UntilNextime]

In the late 70's -80's Spyro Gyra and Morning Dance particularly protected me from myself and unknown trouble. It was my go to salvation when life wasn't understood. Playing it over and over in my bedroom. Tearing while writing this because the band saved my life and maybe someone else'. Gratitude for your presence then and lifelong success. I'm 67 now.

[@shekharkusuma1996]

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😊

[@franciscolopez3229]

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.

[@ThatCologneGuy]

ditto!

[@bw8680]

completely agree!

[@carlopelusomusic]

the video recording as well. excellent

[@mozartdeux1440]

you're right, I'd cry just to hear the intro knowing this is live

getting better all the time,,, loved them then, love them now. Wow!

[@dannylgriffin]

We all miss Dave Samuels, though!

[@WestKosBias]

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.

[@yassineelhadeuf9115]

thanks for sharing

[@augustonorona9717]

AWESOME....can't get enough of SPYRO....THEY JUST GET BETTER WITH TIME ! SOOTHING TO THE SOUL & EARS.

[@Samuel-cg2qo]

World class musicians. All inclusive play from the group. One the greatest bands in the world. Long live Spyro Gyra. -- SM

[@inflames2112]

Weather Report brought me to spyro gyra. Absolutely no regrets 😊

[@richardpennell4170]

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!

[@TheTwangKings]

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.

[@TinusTegenlicht]

Every single musician is great! What a well oiled machine and what a great music! Thanks WDR!

[@randyd.1524]

I agree. Sorry, What's WDR?

[@gillesmatheronpro]

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 !

[@scottweagant4545]

I'm blown away how the sound genuienely transpires. that tightness = unreal

[@raymondmorton]

There are some awful ones too.

[@micheloderso]

Yes of course, there are many talented Specialists behind a Video like this. The Sound is amazing and you can feel the work of the Soundartists. The musicians are on top, this is "High Performance" at its best.......and don't forget the Videofolks ;))

[@dastatroof]

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...

[@BuckeyeJazzFella]

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.

[@mariajorgebenitez9310]

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.

[@chelorec]

Always liked this band. The range of dynamics is amazing.

[@dwaynewilliams1508]

These guys have always been awesome, and they keep getting better with time!

[@zerothree332]

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 👍

[@charlesBeaufays]

Bien d’accord le groupe est excellent et l’ingénieur du son est un crak

[@JazzStephane]

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...

[@trekzone962]

So Amazing to see this . A Great band . Sounding so fresh after 40 + years

[@ddsmusic-doug2469]

At least 20 times. Just saw this show in Pompano Beach Florida two weeks ago. Outstanding! My favorite band.

[@kensilverstein2910]

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!

[@christopherlobo8979]

Do you have any idea what is the line up cuz I know Spyro with drummers Richie Morales and Joel Rosenblatt

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.

[@diliupg]

One of my favourite bands still going strong! What beautiful music! :)

[@DB2023Space]

One of my favs when I was younger. I had all their cassettes, remember cassettes? 😎

[@sukmaajibaskara]

Love the sound quality, absolutely amazing!

[@jenslange3316]

Humble geniuses is what they are ! Love them.

[@lightseeker2242]

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.

[@robertlavrakas7442]

Gotta love the drummer!!

[@gordonthorne2964]

The smoothest smooth jazz greats! I love their ability to anticipate each other's improvisations!

[@takeshinaito5277]

anyways so fine !! listening from 18 years old ~ i'm now 64 years old. still it is so fine !!

[@dannylgriffin]

I am similar. I discovered them when I was 21 or 22 and now I'm 67!

[@cjhast58]

Outstanding group of musicians even better than the 70's.

[@hotlorena1]

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...

[@drkaka7089]

Jazz speaks to the low and high emotions in its movement and its narrative gives space to each part of the story teller and to the harmony of the whole. I love these Guys for their endurance. Experts at Four Play Act

[@jojobonds2860]

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..

[@LoganDameryDrums]

This is one of the most delightful live sets I've ever listen to.

[@Kidjo12759]

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!

[@lurlenevanburen1791]

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

[@ricardomartinezquevedo407]

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.

[@user-pq1pd5tp8t]

I'll HAZE YOU Papas ÷÷😢😢😂😮😊"

[@jasongarey8329]

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.

[@ricardopayopanin6914]

Score 10 i salute spyro gyra listen jazz music

[@judileffe7193]

My brother also introduced me to them and I am so grateful. Some of the greatest sounds....Love them!!

[@joeseda8102]

WOW,WOW, WOW! What else can be said about a live performance? I only regret not having been there. GREAT PERFORMANCE GUYS!!!

[@mariederidder2662]

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... ;-))

[@dagostinoification]

Merci TOM et JAY ! pour cette magnifique musique ! toujours accompagnés par d'excellents musiciens ! depuis les années1980 j'adore votre belle musique ! Je vous ai vu au festival de NICE EN FRANCE ! Avec Richie Morales /drums ....(je suis un ex batteur de l'organiste Rhoda Scott et autres artistes ,compositeur , et professeur de batterie )mes amitiés !

[@thierryvernet6269]

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.

[@robertmarrero5200]

I used to see you guys in Orlando Florida Fl. back in I believe in the 80"s as much as I could. Now we are living in Bogota Colombia and I still put on the old C.D's that I still have of the older band . I have some pictures and autograph of the band way back then, man it was great and now looking at the band you guys have gotten better and always with a warm touch that I feel in my heart. Thanks for the beautiful memories and music which I will never forget and for your CD's. Never stop playing your music.

[@tecotrovao3007]

JAZZ FUSION da melhor qualidade. Música Alimento pra Alma.

[@michaelthompson4008]

Over the years I have seen these guys at least 30 times and they never ever disappoint. Have all their recordings. Tight as hell. Very uplifting stuff.

[@papunAlicea]

Always, amazing band. Virtuosos, thanks so much for share this video. Blessings

[@ldawai105]

Happy 50TH Birthday Spyro Gyra!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 I dont know any other band ever thats celebrated their 50th together, Amazing! Cant wait to see you guys live Next week 😎😍

[@azman.s]

Spyro are still in good sound, groove along with Rippingtons! Saw them once live in late 90s. Greetings from Jazzman KUL.

[@Hucklebrau]

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.

[@dannylgriffin]

Van Halen, I have those ex-friends, too! No musical taste.

[@biblebobnielsen]

WOW! What a Beautiful Sound and Video Fantastic playing and Sound Engineering and Amazing Video Camera work and Directing and Lighting! High End Production!

[@leemarinaccio1378]

I was into them in my college days (late 70's). Glad they're still playing. Kudos to the recording engineer(s) - Sounds great!

[@tiborbosini9401]

Fantastické ozvučenie! Klobúk dole pred "pánom zvukárom"... Skutočný majster v svojom obore.

[@brianb1440]

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!

[@TRCOnline1]

Great 'conversations' between instruments. Musicians at the top of their game. Plus, outstanding audio and camera work!!!!

[@joemiller8482]

My hero's......I am so glad that I can feel their music.....thanks

[@danielortizdecaracas]

amo Spyro Gyro, los oigo desde hace mas de 20 años, son los musicos que todos siempre quisimos ser

[@salort2934]

Los Ortiz siempre aspiramos a eso.

[@3rdandlong]

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.

[@JeanMarieAudrain]

Un son, un balancement, un feeling...en un mot un vrai style perso de qualité !

[@brookelyn7714]

They will never sound this clean since Mr. S. left. Still one of the best contemporary Jazz groups.

[@michaelphilipp8066]

In Awe of these Masters of their trade! Exquisite melodies filling the air. 👂

[@bogliman69]

Spyro Gyra & Four Play are two of the greatest fuzion jazz band of all time!!!

Rippingtons too! …FourEightyEast also

[@JerryT21]

Lets Not forget The Yellow Jackets

[@calmmusicforsleep]

Great concert, amazing jazz rock music! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day

[@spencerb8219]

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...

[@smithkakuta7361]

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

[@birdland830]

Totally awesome! Been listening and buying since the late 70's. They age like fine wine.

I started to follow the band in the 1981... I saw their live concert in Naples in the 1986...great music...🩵

[@jondestua3761]

In what other situation anywhere would you have 5 middle aged men from different backgrounds pouring out their hearts together, on the same wave length, and having an absolute ball doing it, other than music? Music is literally humans at our best. Thank you for this. From Aotearoa, New Zealand.

[@MusicAnirban]

Their music is so full of love! The signature Spyro Gyra sound! Incredible.

[@АндрейАжогин-я3ц]

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.

[@ВладимирЩербухин]

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.

[@ART.1972]

Это и есть джаз-рок!это супер исполнители..

[@cls0372]

I love jazz 🎷 music, rock, bit of blues, edm, Irish music.

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.

[@galleryteneuesartnouveau9353]

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

[@jojobonds2860]

Jay Beckenstein’s saxophone playing is immediately recognizable..

[@CStack2Ci]

I saw them live at one of the first "Taste of Chicago" festivals, the crowd loved 'em! That was probably 1979.
