O’s Notes: Many years, hundreds of songs, concerts and well-deserved recognition has followed Spyro Gyra. Jay Beckenstein (sax), Scott Ambush (b), Bonny B (d, perc, vocals), Julio Fernandez (g) and Tom Schuman (keyboards) have all of the right ingredients. They continue to reinvent themselves on Good To Go-Go with fresh sounds sure to dominate radio waves this summer. “Get Busy”, the reggae beats of “Jam Up”, the cool “Funkyard Dog” and Latin flavored “Island Time” with steel pans by Andy Narell are just a few of the parade of sure shots making this a winning set.
