""Congradulations to Syro Gyra for receiving this award. I wish you much continued success , and respect for your years of committment to the music industry artistically. Peace sincerely." - Gato Barbieri

"Excellent live collection of Spyro Gyra creations. It's got the obligatory "Morning Dace" and "Shaker Song" with some band favorites thrown in for a deeper flavor. The recordings convey the enthusiasm of the crowd and the band's rapport with them. Particularly good is "Latin Streets," the band's farewell encore, including a fantastic, smooth, and rocking guitar solo as the band just sits back and enjoys their music and our enjoyment of it as well." - Lunchbag MacFergus "Rugby007 from Amazon.com

"Spyro Gyra had set a high standard early in their career. A career that that spans three decades of making some of the most innovative yet assessable music. A true creative force that has pleased audiences worldwide.
I am thrilled to be associated with Jay and the band in a very exciting time in their musical journey, and congratulate them on this long overdue recognition."
Dave Love, President, Heads Up International
