Spyro Gyra - Incognito

Spyro Gyra is an American jazz fusion band originally formed in the mid-1970s in Buffalo, New York, USA. With over 25 albums released and 10 million copies sold, they are among the most prolific as well as commercially successful groups of the scene. Among their most successful hit singles are "Shaker Song" and "Morning Dance", which received significant play on popular music radio stations, and are still frequently heard nearly 30 years later on jazz and easy listening stations.

With the exception of alto saxophonist, songwriter & founding bandleader Jay Beckenstein and keyboardist Tom Schuman, the personnel has changed somewhat over time as well as between the studio and the live stage.

This video clip was taken from the 2003 North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands.

@bienfacil123 Saw Spyro Gyra last weekend at the Yosemite International Jazz Festival and they were phenomenal. Been listening to them religiously since buying "Morning Dance" on cassette at the suggestion of a record store clerk way back in the summer of '79. Never heard of Spyro Gyra before that day. Been a fan ever since.

Saw them at BF years ago. Still sound good and better. I wish more radio played this kind of music.
