It
must have been fun in the '70s, when young, developing musicians could
play whatever came naturally to them, without worrying about tailoring
it to fit into the parameters dictated by radio formats. When they
played instrumental music, it didn't really matter if it was jazz, pop,
pop-jazz, fusion if it was melodic and adventurous, chances are it
would get airplay and the audience would love it.
Twenty
years ago, long before the coining of the radio-generated buzzwords
"New Adult Contemporary" or "Smooth Jazz", Spyro Gyra was jamming,
having a grand old time creating their own instrumental hybrid,
incorporating elements of R&B, Latin, Brazilian wahtever struck
their collective fancy into an infectious sound which just
coincidentally became a forerunner of today's popular style.
Whether you want to recline in
a booth at the back of the room or dine at table center stage, you'll
feel the intimacy of the venue.
