SPYRO GYRA and Scott Ambush

[Stingray5]

Spyro Gyra with Scott Ambush - I could have probably put these guys in the Funk and Groove thread but wanted to highlight another excellent Jazz-Funk-Fusion outfit and one of the funkiest bassists out there (with all due respect to the other excellent bassists that have appeared on SG albums). Also much respect to drummer Joel Rosenblatt.

Man, the second vid is from Kaunas Jazz fest, biggest fest in our country, the event happens in my home-town..

Anyway, I didn't know, that Spyro Gyra played in Lithuania.. Guess that's because I wasn't yet in the scene then..


Scott's solo was ok, but his singing didn't make me much sense..

Yes! Downloaded a coupla tracks from their new album, "down the wire" I think one is called. Tasty, tight, funky. I like! Good topic. :-)

Great player, always liked him...although I reckon quite a few people will draw comparisons with VW for his slap style.

I've got to learn some SG numbers for a Jazz/Funk/Fusion band i have just joined. Great numbers.

Used to do 'Morning Dance' in a covers band many moons ago.
