" When I think of Spyro Gyra I think of warm summer nights down at the Ontario Place Forum. We used to go down during our university days and chill out on the grass under the stars and just soak it all in. They were part of my summer sound track then and now." - Tony Grace Four80East

"Maybe things were simpler in the Seventies, when the birth of what we now call contemporary jazz or pop instrumental really occurred. Long before anyone gave much thought to what to call it, there was one thing we could count on-the fact that a bunch of solid jazz players from Buffalo with the funny band name could dish it up and make it fun. In an industry where the latest sonic trends emerge and disappear in brief flashes of expectation and disappointment, Spyro Gyra's constantly evolving musical vision has made them the most consistent, popular and enduring of all contemporary jazz ensembles."- Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide
