Notes
Going through some old tapes I found what seems to be a quite unique recording of the 1984 North Sea Jazz show by fusiongroup Spyro Gyra. Could not find it on neither Etree nor Dime, so I guess this is new to circulation. Unfortunately only a very short part of this show was broadcast.

I attended the show myself, which was my first acquaintance with live jazz-fusion. I remember being very excited about this show at the time. Listening back after all those years, I must say it is still very nice to hear. Although my musical taste has changed quite a bit since then, this probably pleases a few people here on Dime.

Check out samples and enjoy !
