Free Jazz in the Park Concert: Spyro Gyra

Posted on 12 May 2010

The free annual Jazz in the Park concert series celebrates its 21st year with free concerts. Saturday, May 15th will feature Spyro Gyra beginning at 8pm.

Spyro Gyra brings sounds to the series that have made the group fan favorites for more than 30 years. Genre icon Boney James described Spyro Gyra’s music in Jazziz Magazine as combining “accessible pop qualities with happy uplifting tones, bringing together elements of jazz, Latin and R&B effortlessly and unconsciously. What they’re doing with electric jazz and unique instrumentation has always had a timeless quality to me.” The latest CD, Down the Wire, was released in 2009.

Starting its 20th year, the free Jazz in the Park concert series has become a Las Vegas tradition. Some of the biggest names in jazz have highlighted this annual series. Picnics, blankets and low back chairs are welcome. Food and drink are available for purchase on site. No pets allowed. Parking is free.
