Now this is in the top one percentile of all Spyro Gyra compositions.....Mr. Brennan...THANK YOU for sharing this gem.

Looks like the band has put fresh spins on the solo sections--once again!!

Like Dylan, the only prediction you are safe making about Spyro Gyra is that they will change things up. It's in the band's NATURE.

Thanks again. I am sharing this as my way of helping to promote the band.

Peace,
Paul

Have to agree with Paul,this is truly one of their finest and easly one of my top ten all time. Thank you

Rather than starting a new thread, I'll just mention this here.

Spyro Gyra has just been recognized by Billboard magazine as the artist having the most Top Ten Albums of any act in the history of the Contemporary Jazz Chart.

Pretty cool.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happier if it's Old San Juan!!!

It's worth quite a lot to mention this fact here....and even more so in Billboard. Just an amazing testament to Spyro Gyrs'a amazing and incredible staying power.. Think of the one album wonders....or the bands that had an great first record or two, and then fizzled out. Spyro Gyra just can't be ignored. For THIRTY solid years....within the fickle winds of changing fashion and flavors of the month....this is very very important to now realize. Spyro Gyra has changed, yet remained highly popular and successful..

That says it all....30 years of top ten records.

Peace.

Well Said Paul, Well Said!!!

Another notable fact about Spyro Gyra is that it's audience always looks forward to the new CD, show or set list. We don't rely on just listening to their hits from the past as so many other artists tend to do especially those that have been around for 30 years. We still enjoy SG's songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's especially when they always perform a new arrangement. I have seen "Old San Juan" performed live several times and it is at the top of my list. I look forward to the next live show and the next CD. How many other bands can you say that about?

Hey, Bob. Been to the store lately?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
You're absolutely right. That's why when I pack CDs to take to work, there's always 2 SG discs in the bag. By the time I get through the entire set, it's been 5 months or more since I last played the first one.

Old San Juan....hehehe...i'm just 5mins away from where Jay composed that song!!! He lost his plane here on his birthday and wrote it here in PR!! It's always good see it live!!!
