Spyro Gyra - The Deep End NSJF 2004

[wildbobbb]

Scott Ambush is a BEAST :D incredible song and bass playing!!!

[dezziwood555]

I think that Scott Ambush is one of the top bassists in the world. Funkier than Marcus and plays tastier than Wooten. U da Man, Scott!

[drumming365]

incredible performance these guys are so locked in with one another

[toddallenhooper]

Whoa, that bass player is fierce!!!

[M4rc0vide0s]

GREAT!!!!!!!

[borgesbacobass]

This group remembers me of James Labrie's interview...

[sapsan1559]

Этот нигер с пятиструнной палкой-копалкой охуенен!

[theHellzapoppin]

ok, ok ;) sorry for that : they are great musicians. i'm just more a jazzlover. never mind : they are fabulous ;) and i mean it !

[nicolavaleriik6hiq]

AFTER THIS BASS TONE, THE FLOOD!!!!!!!! The Ultimate bass tone!!!!!!!!!!

[andymacky2005]

these guys hypnotized me after watching this track i was just glued to my screen for 15secs with no words to describe them

[MrDax1701]

woah...@ 0:56..0:57 ...Ambush got so much juice ..love that left hand !!

[Surrilium]

Don't kill me, Dream Theater brought me here xD

[thehuntz1]

@Surrilium How?? lol

[thehuntz1]

@Surrilium How?? lol

[Surrilium]

@thehuntz1 Jay Beckenstein played Sax on their song Another Day =D

[thehuntz1]

@Surrilium aahh I was wondering why that name looked familiar when I was looking up who played in this band...

[Dellerss]

@Surrilium It's funny, they're both one of my favorite bands. Listened to both bands already when I found out Jay played on Another Day. Yup, my taste is all over the place.

[jemilio7]

This is Spyrogyra

[boomfield]

absolute performance.

[Paulo076451]

Very good!!!!! (Muito bom!)

[cypan1]

Ladies and Gentlemen SPYRO GYRA hmmm well not much to be said . they are a truely higher esholon band , spanning a good thirty odd years of phenomenal music, a justification of higher education .

just LISTEN the Proof is in their Pudding lol keep pumping it out S..G

[vzsozs]

thats a strange lookin bass... to strange for my taste

[Hyperlink4321]

I saw them in 1982 here in Fort Wayne Talked to Jay Beckestein b4 the concert Wow!

[rythmvirus]

very very amazing band!!! fantastic musicians, the sax player makes me dream!!! don't tell about the bass player,wooooaaoooowwwww what a groove!!! keep it up guys!! very gud job!! and thank you for the music!!! cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[jhidalgoarevalo]

Quiénes son los 4  imbésiles a los que no les gustó?? podrían exponer sus razones...?

[cammicty]

If you all haven't been to The North Seas Jazz Festival, you should go!

[drbassface]

Nice bass Solo...Scott's a Great Player and a Nice Guy!

(Opening Drum vamp reminds me of Marcus' ?Sanborn's "Camel Island)

NICE!

[hep2jive]

me and my sister used to listen to this! hahha i love it.

[theHellzapoppin]

Okay :) That's really good !!!! fine arrangements and it grooves crazy :) do you have acoustical versions of the group ? that's the only manner to feel jazz music ;)

[slowfinger2]

Super-cool to play a solo over the changes.

[A201290]

Grooveria total Adeiter Medeiros...

Brasil...

tudo de bom

[MrRaufles]

I like this!

[DancingEar08]

Fantastic band. I have almost all of their albums.

[67Furi]

Kings!

[klawrence738]

anybody know the drummers name? that man is smooth too!

the snare is POPPIN

[LOUD7]

@klawrence738 The drummer's name is Joel Rosenblatt.

[MLGR3linquish]

@klawrence738 bonny-b is what he goes by, he's from trinidad

[MLGR3linquish]

@MLGR3linquish ffs wrong yr :)

[YourMateJosh]

your a champ uploading this stuff!

wish they would tour the AU... not enough fans though.

[mixedbreed19]

I was gonna say, reminds me alot of chick corea and the electric band with eric marienthal as the sax front circa same festival lol...they strive hard to like them here...just search them and tell me I'm wrong lol

[yanivv8]

joel rozenblat-from isrel the best of drumer.

yaniv

[overtime2005]

James Brown sound?

[epiqism]

ahaha i actually met the saxophone player at a repair shop today. good guy.

[antricardodivi]

wooooool!!!

muito bom!!!!

[cknowland01]

Those that can, do...those that can't, critique. Well done Spiro G. Amazing live AND studio band!

[DontRunBand]

I'm pretty sure this guy rapes at the bass

[oldskoolskater3]

@DontRunBand

he doesnt rape it, it makes sweet sweet love to it

[joe700700]

@oldskoolskater3 yeah the end result is the baby( ambush bass guitar) LOL!

[smallbasstrombone]

@theHellzapoppin you´re absolutly right. Scott feels nothing while playing his solo...

[ernopodus]

i just can´t see a contradiction betwen feelin' and accuracy....

[3000Bassman]

Does anyone know if there is a recording of this track on a studio CD? Their album "The Deep End" doesn't seem to have this track on it

[theHellzapoppin]

it's too clean to be feeled.

[Geepereet]

@theHellzapoppin That sounds like the critics a good friend of me always had on this kind of music, to smooth, to clean ( he liked the punkstyle or garage-rock more) but I never could agree with him so I don't agree with you also ;-(

[funkapuss]

@Geepereet totally agree, of course this is a different feeling than in a punk-rock-band, the grooev is amazing and the argument more complex or "clean" jazz music has no feeling is bullshit..

[CommBreakDown]

@Geepereet If this guy aint feeling the music....He's doing a heck of a job pretending! lol but seriously a bassist with melodies like this aint uncommon. but combined with the chops. thats what makes him stand out as a voice in this jazz group. This group is very entertaining.

[jazzzzdude]

@theHellzapoppin sounds like you've spent too long listening to crap and you can't feel the groove

[theHellzapoppin]

@jazzzzdude noooo ! it's really good indeed, but it likes to formated music. no creativity, no feeling. just really good hapennning :D sorry, it's what i feel when i 'm listening to them ! don'be hungry, man. listen to miles, you'll understand what groov and feeling mean :D

[jazzzzdude]

@theHellzapoppin of course there is creativity and feeling. I do listen to Miles and I groove and feel all day everyday. I've just been listening to Bitches Brew and Star People actually.

[cop3lant]

@theHellzapoppin i dunno 'bout that.. that bass solo is dirty as hell

[jarbear]

@theHellzapoppin Clean? This music is fucking sex, man. It's that awesome.

[heckto35]

@theHellzapoppin First it's felt not feeled, second i kind of understand what you mean. Clarify it for me.

[marcosavbg]

@theHellzapoppin Ahhh, the feeling nazis strike back :D

[carlossaxx]

k buenos k son y cada año k pasa hacen mejores cosas,,,keep up the live music......

[ernest4o]

speechless

[bahjazz]

The greatest band ever!

[cumpton2]

Awesome show last night at the Vancouver Washington WIne and Jazz fest!!!! Thanks guys!!! You rocked the Place!!!!

[ubernaffa]

Is it just me, or has the guitar playing in Spyro Gyra always been absolutely awful?

[bassax7045]

@ubernaffa i think its just you ,,nobody forces you to listen to it if you cant grasp

[ubernaffa]

@bassax7045 Sigh... What an utterly pointless comment. Spyro Gyra are one of my favourite bands of all time, but the guitar playing has always sucked. I was merely asking if anybody shared my opinion, it's got nothing to do with not being able to 'grasp'.

[bassax7045]

@ubernaffa ok your taste ,,fair enough ,,,i happen to also like julio a lot in several songs ,,ill sent you one you might like the guitar solo in .if not ,,its ok too man

[BeatBay]

smooth jazz will never die!

[xam154]

@BeatBay agreed good sir

[air9713]

i like spyro gyraaaaaaa¡¡¡¡!!!!

[EUSL84]

Whats the name of the song that the guitar player dedicated to his mom?

[magirecords2004]

My homeboys from Buffalo.

[Nilephan666]

Typically, if you enjoy metal, you'll love jazz, and i've just found a new love.

[xam154]

@Nilephan666 does it depend because my friend love speed/thrash metal and like new orleans type of jazz and i love black/technical/melodic metal and i love smooth jazz. I wonder?

[BeatBay]

@xam154 i listen to thrash (bay area) old school hip hop, grindcore, nwobh, jazz, ambient, death metal, heavy metal, rnb, neo soul, funk, and smooth jazz. :)

[Nilephan666]

@xam154

Hmm, maybe you've found the source :O

[Blkserpent1]

I remember the 70's lineup with Eli Konikoff, Jeremy Wall, Geraldo Velez, Tom Shumann, still on keyboards, a bunch of studio musicians, and of course Jay Beckinstein. They set my jazz soundtrack for my teen years. Kenny G may have outsold them, but as far as body of work he couldn't touch Spyro Gyra.

[zpgoalie73]

Scott Ambush is BOUSSSE

[writetovagelis1975]

Amazing groove.

[PhatPhunk]

OMG.. Scott Ambush is on fire!! Great solo!!!!

[irkutsky]

[TheSEPERMANUEL112]

Musicos de verdad y el solo de bajo es increible

[drummakid101]

To jam with these guys is jamming with Gods.

[TheSixo]

They are f......ing great

[AlexMessenger1]

The best. Their views should be in the millions.

[teletubiste]

absolute groove!! :D

[canofsoup15]

Holy hell. The bass solo is outta this world.

[pownjhell]

the only way this could get any more badass is if they were all wearing sunglasses

[djkillah215]

that solo at 4:23 is HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[Brunototguitar]

Awesome groove on it.

[drumcircler]

Tremendous band, their music explodes on stage!

Saw them in CT, and Scott Ambush rocked the house on bass! They're all awesome.

[TheSaxophone]

Terrific!!

I had to scream at 4:34! This Bass, the drums and then Synth, wow...

[charleseleeiii]

@TheSaxophone Man I live for that part! He killed! I even do the face with him! He dropped it like it's hot, picked it back up then dropped it again! I had the fortune of watching these guys live- THE BEST! They are all amazing, and the live show let them each showcase what they could do.

[luibra1]

The beste band of tehe word,from Brasil!!!

[boomfield]

there are no words, wow

[Oswaldoaapp]

Great band! i saw them 3 day ago at the riviera maya jazz festival. Awesome performance!

[terry47family]

Well, I saw Mighty Spyro at Ole Miss (the, Uuniversity of Mississippi) back in the very late 70s, and early 80s. took my now 35 year ole son, awesome and revelant to musical history. Good stuff

[r1skate]

Saw 'em in Berkley in Boston in '95 and LOVED LOVED LOVED it! Favorite concert all-time! BLEW my mind!

[GuillermoSmyser]

I heard of these guys after they had the sax player help out on a Dream Theater song. I thought Spyro Gyra was like the recording company and this guy just happened to be awesome at sax.

Great band!

[mikey020495]

[kebapeintopf]
