Spyro Gyra in Concert
Jazz fusion band Spyro Gyra has been announced as the headline act for the 2013 Jazz Eureka festival which runs September 13th and 14th. Spyro Gyra is a jazz fusion band that formed in the mid-1970s. The band's sound has its roots in traditional jazz, but combines elements of R&B, funk and pop music and is known for their mastery over their instruments and the energy for their live performances. They have performed over five thousand shows, released twenty-nine albums selling over ten million albums while also achieving one platinum and two gold albums. Next year Spyro Gyra will celebrate forty years as a band while showing little sign of wanting to slow down either, having earned Grammy nominations for each of their last four albums.
