"I have fond memories of Spyro Gyra. My favourite is 1993's Dreams Beyond Control that featured the fab horn section of Tower Of Power and the atmospheric song Waltz For Isabel. You have to be doing something right to be playing and recording for over 30 years. Jay Beckenstein had a vision during those late night jazz jams back in the 70's in Buffalo. Original keyboardist Jeremy Wall once described their music as a "gutbucket of rhythmic tradition. We did simple music and esoteric stuff. It all came together, this oddball mix, until we found a middle ground, our own groove". We've been groovin' ever since. Congratulations guys on your Benson Lifetime Achievement Award!" - Gary James - Assistant Program Director/Announcer "Smooth Ride Home" Wave Hamilton/Toronto
