I never thought I'd hear Spyro Gyra on ANY reaction channel!! They represent the roots of what's known as SMOOTH jazz, and it's definitely a fun genre to listen to and zone out to. Another song from Spryo Gyra that you might dig is "Limelight" on their "Rites of Summer" album from 1988. Smooth jazz is a slippery slope. Before you know it, you'll be reacting to the Rippingtons and Lee Ritenour! Y'all might actually like the vocalist, Michael Franks. He's super smooth with a jazzy "islandy" feel. For some classic jazz, however, you could start with the song "Old Folks"by Miles Davis 1961. Glad you're stepping into the world of jazz as it covers a wide spectrum with many flavors and colors.

Wow! Spyro Gyra! takes me back to high school when I discovered this stuff. As stated earlier, this is sometimes called Smooth Jazz or also Fusion Jazz, since it is a melding between pop-rock and jazz. And Spyro Gyra was one of the best groups doing it. I will highly recommend their tune "Old San Juan" for a listen. It is a real rocker - one of their best tunes, I think - and it has a nice horn back-up line, which I know you guys like.

And Dave Samuels, on marimba, was the first time I heard a marimba solo on the radio. This DID cross over to Top 40 radio when I was a kid. Watching marimba players is even more fun than just listening, as they hold more than one mallet in each hand. Lots of respect for the skill.

Jay & Amber, the main instrument at the beginning, the one that gives this a Caribbean (or island) feeling, is the steel drum (aka steel pan, aka pan). It is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE instrument after the human voice. Literally anything, from classical to jazz to rock to any genre you can think of, can be played on steel drums, but with a wonderfully distinctive sound created by no other instrument. Steel drums were invented in Trinidad by cutting off the end of a steel oil drum, pounding, & tempering it until a musical scale is achieved. I've heard 2 origin stories. They were either created because of all the empty oil drums the U.S. military left behind after WWII, or from oil drums from the island's oil refineries. Please do more reactions to steel drum music. It is wonderfully unique!

I think both of you would enjoy "Rise" by Herb Albert. "Rise" is a jazzy instrumental song that was released at the tale end of the disco era so it has a hint of disco in it. Herb Albert is a jazz artist who has been playing for decades and he was at the height of his fame when "Rise" came out and it went to number one on the Billboard music charts. The horns are fierce in this song and I really, really hope you review it. Another instrumental I would suggest is from a film and that would be Vangelis' "Chariots Of Fire". It's sort of a classical type of instrumental but that would be a great way to get introduced to his music and honor an incredible composer who died earlier this year. It was a big hit in the early 1980's and it also won best musical score at the Academy Awards.

When I was still in preschool, my dad used to put this on the TURNTABLE, and we would listen to it before he took me to daycare. I’d dance and laugh; he’d play bongos on pots or whatever was at hand-earliest, best memories! I never thought anyone would ever react to them-I’m so pleased. You guys are truly the best!

I first heard this LIVE in 1983 in Scottsdale Arizona, and it immediately became my favorite piece of music. I bought the album and played it often. Such great memories to hear this now, and thanks for introducing this to your audience. Wonderful!

Great choice! I played that song on sax in high school, the year after it came out. Next choice, no question should be "Birdland" by Weather Report.

So happy you took my suggestion for this song, thank you! Knew you'd love that xylophone. Amber, a couple great jazz sax players to give a listen to are Ronnie Laws & John Klemmer.

Finally! Chuck Mangione got his foot in the door, but it didn't stay open for long. It sounds like the Rob Squad will be open to hearing more instrumentals from now on. After all, one of the first reactions Jay did was to 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", and he seemed to like it. It's a big, new rabbit hole.

Oh boy, we love you guys. So glad you played this one. I'm mostly a jazz guy. Love music in general, but jazz is my go to music. Keep in mind there are many forms of jazz. From old timey stuff, like Dixieland, big band. Satchmo, Ella Fitzgerald. Progressive jazz, Fusion (jazz-rock), Avante Guard, Free Jazz, Latin Jazz, and Smooth Jazz (like Spyro Gyra). It bugs me when you mention jazz and so many people think dinner music or elevator music. I guarantee if you two went to a Spyro Gyra concert, you would be blown away. And yes, no lyrics. Another really fun one is Shaker Song by SG. That's leader, Jay Beckenstein on sax, and the great Dave Samuels on vibes!

For some more instrumental jazz with some titular continuity, may I suggest "Phase Dance" by the Pat Metheny Group. Pat is a local hero, hailing from Lee's Summit, MO, just southeast of Kansas City and an amazing guitar player. This quartet includes the late, great Lyle Mays on piano, synthesizer, and autoharp, Mark Egan on bass, and Danny Gottleib on drums. A potential problem is that the original studio album is on a record label that is notorious for blocking KZfaq, but you may be able to find a live version that will pass as this is one of their most popular songs to perform in concert.

So glad you're discovering a legend of smooth jazz! Spyro G's from Buffalo N.Y., and because the weather is hard to take for half the year, they wanted to make music that reminds people of the tropics & beach life to help get everyone through Buffalo's winters. Smooth jazz rescued me from the limits of rock - changed my life - it makes you happy - Amber's right... the music tells a story - paints a picture with sound - close your eyes & you're on a beach! Now check out 'Acoustic Alchemy - Catalina Kiss (studio version).

You can't imagine how difficult it is to play a xylophone like that. Musicians, and writers, never get enough credit.

Wow! Haven't heard this since I was a little kid. We used to have this as a 45 record (I know... ancient technology... lol ). Thanks for reminding me of this great band.

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.

Oh I've never heard this song before and I love it! I actually kind of forgot about Spiro Gyra after "Catching The Sun" so many years ago. I think I might have to check out more of this group!

An INSTRUMENTAL? And Spyro Gyra?!! OMG, I can't believe it. I'm a HUGE fan of theirs and have been for years. I've seen them in concert a couple of times and they're even better live. Spyro Gyra has a huge catalog - be brave and dive in. Try "Para Ti Latino" (for a Latin vibe), or "Tower Of Babel" (for a mysterious vibe), or "Limelight" (for more xylophones), or "Got The Magic" (for a laid back vibe). I could go on and on...

Thank you for playing this! I had forgotten about this awesome jazz group. If you want to listen to more instrumental music try The David Grisman Quintet. They have a blue grass jazz sound. They themselves refer to their sound as Dawg Music. My favorites are Dawgs Rag and Minor Swing.

THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING JAZZ… Are used to jam to this every morning before I go off to school back in the day. Spirogyra was one of the great jazz bands of the 80s. They’re pretty smooth jazz-one we used to call contemporary jazz.

Okay, you just blew my mind! Spyro Gyra definitely was part of my life's soundtrack back in the day -- and I never thought anyone on KZfaq would care to react to this iconic song. Thank you!

It’s similar to a xylophone it’s called a Marimba (bigger with more notes)! The only other notable Marimba solo in a pop song is by the group Starbuck, Moonlight feels right. Love it every time I hear it!

Spyro Gyra are awesome. My junior high band director introduced me to their music by playing Heliopolis off the Morning Dance album. A year later in high school jazz band, I was playing Percolator off their Catching The Sun album. Been to several Spyro Gyra concerts throughout the 90s.

A jazz instrumental, by on of the all time great Tenor Sax players, Mr Stan Getz, he was called The Sound, because of his beautiful smooth tone, the song is called Desafinado. It is from an album released in 1962 called Jazz Samba, and both the album, and Desafinado were world wide hits.
