    8:30 Episode The Yellowjackets vs Spyro Gyra Pt.1
    Jan 16 2025

    The Yellowjackets and Spyro Gyra are both iconic jazz fusion bands that emerged in the late 1970s, but they represent distinct approaches to the genre. The Yellowjackets tend to blend complex harmonies and intricate rhythms with a more contemporary, experimental sound, often incorporating elements of funk and R&B into their music. In contrast, Spyro Gyra is known for its smoother, more accessible style, mixing jazz with elements of pop and Latin music, creating a more polished, radio-friendly sound. They have been together as a group for 50 years now still recording and touring extensively.
