Spyro Gyra Band

In 2024 Jay Beckenstein and Spyro Gyra began observing their 50th anniversary a milestone few bands in any genre achieve. What started in Buffalo NY as a simple diversion — a group of friends gathering on their night off for a “Tuesday Night – Jazz Jam” that cost twenty-five cents at the door — evolved into one of the most successful jazz fusion groups in the world. Over the course of five decades Spyro Gyra has released more than 30 albums earning gold and platinum along the way while performing over 10000 concerts on six continents. From those early days of carefree jam sessions to recording career-defining albums like Morning Dance and Catching the Sun the band’s journey has been marked by both continuity and evolution. Beckenstein’s saxophone remains the unmistakable voice of the group while changing rhythm sections and new musical influences have kept the sound fresh and current. Through technology shifts lineup changes and a constantly changing musical landscape Spyro Gyra has maintained the standards of excellence that secured their place on the “A list” of live jazz attractions for half a century. Now Spyro Gyra continues to thrive as a true ensemble with Beckenstein surrounded by a team of world-class musicians who bring their own voices to the music. Their performances today reflect the same energy joy and passion that sparked their beginnings with a synergy that has only deepened over the decades. Don’t miss the chance to celebrate this extraordinary legacy and experience the evolution of jazz fusion when Spyro Gyra returns to Paramount Hudson Valley on March 14!
