Spyro Gyra - Full Concert - Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 2003 Location & date: SUNDAY 13 JULY 2003 • STATENHALL • Congress Centre, The Hague, The Netherlands Spyro Gyra is an American jazz fusion band that was formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1974. The band's music combines jazz, R&B, funk, and pop music. The band's name comes from Spirogyra, a genus of green algae which founder Jay Beckenstein had learned about in college. LINEUP Jay Beckenstein (saxophones); Julio Fernandez (guitars); Tom Schuman (keyboards); Scott Ambush (bass); Joel Rosenblatt (drums). ABOUT After twenty-five years Jay Beckenstein, sax player and leader of the band Spyro Gyra, suddenly was fed up with it. For jazz journalists and critics had never understood the music of his band the way it was meant to be. Only the fans could distinguish the truth in the firm foundations of the music that had only little to do with the smooth jazz that is maliciously suggested about his band. The latter may be seen from the fact that the 2001 album In Modern Times was the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album Chart for at least sixty-four weeks, with a second place as highest quotation. In preparation of the new album Original Cinema Beckenstein decided to develop a different working method. He did not look for the sounds his audience loves to hear, but ventured into new and experimental concepts. The final result supported his convictions that not just a new audience, but the old fans would all find this material fantastic. The performance of Spyro Gyra at this North Sea edition will be a event not to be missed by friend or foe. For promise is debt… Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!
