Spyro Gyra has accomplished decades long success due to a forward looking approach combined with the work ethic of an underdog, always challenging themselves to do something new while never resting on past success. It has proven to be a recipe for longevity for this jazz group while music has gone in and out of styles in ever shorter cycles. 2014 marked forty years from their start in a Buffalo club where they were first known as "Tuesday Night - Jazz Jam."
