“We’re excited to unveil our ‘cabaret-style concert series.’ The combination of the legendary Spyro Gyra music performing in the beautiful Bayview Ballroom really lends itself to making this a very special night. It’s completely different than any show we’ve had and we are expecting a great response. The community has been requesting a show like this for some time and we’re happy to deliver,” says American Bank Center General Manager Marc Solis.
The entity known as Spyro Gyra is a marathon runner in the arena of contemporary jazz. For more than three decades, moving across a musical landscape marked by increasingly challenging terrain and accelerated change, they have maintained the well-deserved reputation as a viable and highly versatile creative force. Since their earliest recordings in the mid 1970’s, they have maintained a fresh approach to their craft by borrowing from a range of sources and distilling them into an unmistakable signature sound.
This innovative and eclectic sensibility has earned the band nine GRAMMY nominations overall, and has fueled the sale of 11 million records – Including one platinum and two gold records. In the midst of the achievements and accolades, Spyro Gyra keeps moving, having logged over 5,000 high-energy performances in their prestigious and prolific career. The band passes another milestone with the June 12th release of “Good to Go Go.” The album follows on the heels of their GRAMMY-nominated 2006 release “Wrapped in a Dream” (Best Pop Instrumental Album).
