spyro gyra: the musical group that holds the record (no pun intended) for the most grammy award nominations without a win. criminal.

[@kenmajikina1]

Saw Spyro Gyra in Kaanapali, Maui 1995! They were part of the Maui Music Festival. So incredible, they sound amazing live!! I'll always remember that concert!!!!!

[@trevormckinnon6696]

I'm a big fan. These guys play with a great feel for the groove. The saxophone is so lyrical with a warm sound. The arrangements are superb. This music never dates. It sounds as fresh as ever. I live in Melbourne, Australia. Spare a thought for me. The music pumping out of the PA systems in public spaces, every shop and every motor car here is a loud THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! or DOOF! DOOF! DOOF! Why can't it be this sort of music?

[@RAZRMOTOV2]

I'm here in the States, east coast... Same thump tunes.... THIS is where it's at!!! Been listening to Gyra since early 80's

[@cesarcintron3626]

Still listening to this tune often but what makes it so interesting is being a stage hand in the 70's and watching Spyro Gyra performance live several times. How time flies

[@ryancox5097]

[@davidr7733]

You were fortunate. I'd listen to this band on my radio while working in a factory. I was 18.

SpyroGyra is an underrated great jazz Group. The Shaker Song”, which was their first hit single, is among their best songs.

[@johnscott2782]

Indeed I share the same sentiments. The Album Morning Dance is par excelance. Great group

The vibraphone of Dave Samuels is wonderful !. every sound coming from the band ! I´was introduced to this wonderful band since 1988. Thanks a lot Jay Beckenstein. I´m from Mexico City. Jazz-fan 100%

[@brookeukena246]

So smooth. Even the sax notes just melt. Nice groove from the marimba too. I first heard Spyro Gyra in 1979 when I was at a temp agency applying for jobs. Back then, it was on Muzak, but this is NOT elevator music.

people might crap on the tune because of how cheeky it is: which means its uplifting qualities are undeniable even to those who wont consider this 'real jazz' or so.

I love this song, I thank you for sharing with the world.

[@JazzizCafeLoveJazz]

What a song! Love it! Thanks! El saxofonista Jay Beckenstein y el pianista Jeremy Wall formaron la banda Spyro Gyra en Buffalo en 1974, y publicaron su primer álbum homónimo "Spyro Gyra" con Amherst Records en 1978 con este "Shaker Song" como el primero de sus nueve temas, todos composiciones de Beckenstein o Wall. El tema, que un año después fue versionado por The Manhattan Transfer en su álbum "Extensions", alcanzo el puesto 16 en la lista 'Adulto Contemporáneo' del Billboard, mientras el álbum conseguía llegar hasta el puesto 99 del 'Top 200'. #nowandTHEN #smoothjazz

Does Manhattan Transfer pay royalties on their use of the song?

[@maureendequesada-yx1ul]

One would certainly HOPE SO!!! It seems like they take credit for it too in many posts, when you check the liner notes and they credit 'Songwriters: Allee Willis / David Lasley' without mentioning this is for the lyrics ONLY. (Perhaps these people aren't musically educated tho?) E.G. This YT post shows the actual 45 single with ALL credits listed properly AND in order too on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYLbgWmcp7eXsKc Then the post 'liner notes' goes on to say this: "Lyrics by Allee Willis, David Lasley. And music by John Beckenstein* " As if 'Jay' is actually 'John', and 'music' is only an afterthought!!! LOLOL... seriously ignorant! Or just plain nasty? You decide 'cuz I can't.
