Jazz fusion pioneers Spyro Gyra fill the Montalvo Arts Center to the seams every time they come by. The Grammy-nominated group’s prolific output—35 albums since their 1974 start in Buffalo, New York—is rivaled only by their high energy level. Known for improvisational flair, they have secured Jazz Trax’s praise as “one of the most amazing live shows in instrumental music.” These players have always channeled jazz heroes like Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie while also taking inspiration from groups like Weather Report and Return to Forever. The result is an innovative style with a rock-solid foundation nearly 50 years in-the-making.
