13x GRAMMY® Award-nominated jazz fusion icons Spyro Gyra share Jubilee, a 50th anniversary collection of songs that showcase the band’s ever-expanding palette in roughly its first decade of recording (1977-87). The release is available now on 2CD and 2LP gold and purple via Amherst Records/Reservoir Recordings. Both editions include never-before-seen photos from the band’s early days and more recent world tours plus exclusive liner notes from veteran music journalist Jonathan Widran. Orders are available now HERE. Known for their melodic, adventurous fusion of jazz with R&B, Latin, and world music, Spyro Gyra first united in Buffalo, NY in 1974 and created an original new framework for contemporary jazz and instrumental music that has now endured for a remarkable half a century. The band have since performed more than 10,000 shows on six continents and released more than 35 albums, garnering them 13 GRAMMY® Award nominations along with multiple RIAA Gold & Platinum certifications for sales in excess of 10 million worldwide. Jubilee now commemorates the milestone 50th anniversary of Spyro Gyra’s formation with classic songs and fan favorites from their groundbreaking early repertoire, with highlights including their first Billboard “Hot 100” smash, “Shaker Song” and the #1 AC hit single, “Morning Dance,” the latter featured on the band’s RIAA Platinum-certified second album of the same name. Long hailed for their relentless live schedule and dynamic, inventive performances, Spyro Gyra – Jay Beckenstein (saxophone), Julio Fernandez (guitar), Chris Fischer (keyboards), Scott Ambush (bass), and Lionel Cordew (drums) – will mark their Jubilee year with an eagerly anticipated world headline tour, including dates across the US and Europe through 2025.
