Same here, friend... I was in Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I came across this piece... what a strong impact on me... I still have the cassette tape with me, almost 40 years ago now...
This was my first Spyro Gyro Album . Love it so much that I went to see them live in Concert in Philly’a Mann Music Theater. Show was Off the Charts!!😎😎
My Ex and I played this song for all the groomsmen and bridesmaids to exit our wedding altar to 30 years ago. What an amazing, selfless, patient, creative, and strong Mother. What a sexy, noble, humourous, classy, unforgettable, and godly Wife. For 29 years I was the luckiest man on the planet.
I have been d fan n listening them for 30 years since my younger days...hv all d cassette.....d music touches my deep to my soul. Each time listening again brings back old memories.
This has been on my Top 5 Road Trip recordings, that I listen to while traveling, since the 1980's. Other songs come and go. But Old San Juan has never been taken off. 👍👍 10⭐& Countless 💖
@@bfdmudk Indeed. Just saw the band last Sunday at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano CA. Spyro Gyra nearing their 50th Anniversary were in top notch form and are still the best band on the planet. Old San Juan was presented in truncated form last Sunday. After the guitar solo, OSJ went directly into Heliopolis.
The first time I was able to really listen to S.G. was when I moved to Miami in 1982. Incognito absolutely blew me away and no tune more so than Old San Juan. It is so lush and complex. Jay Beckenstein at his absolute best.
I just find out now that Spyro Gyra has a YT channel ... SJG! (Smooth Jazz God! lol) This track is my favorite from Spyro! A friend who died very young in tragic circumstances introduced me to smooth jazz in the early 80s and this band (r.i.p. my friend). So much water has flowed under the bridges now. Sweet 80s Nostalgia. Thank you Spyro for all emotion you shared with us. :)
Now we're talking! Great piece with the latin groove! I don't now how Steve Gadd does it. I tried this on the drums and sort of got it, being I am nowhere nears a professional. There is a lot going on here but meshes so well. And love Jorge Dalto's piano! Yes Jay, and of course your killer sax! And great album with the best musicians out there! Thanks!

OMG! This is the music that made curious about Spyro Gyra. Masterpiece, masterstroke, sublime. Hardly anything beats it after all these years, even Spyro Gyra hadn't come up with anything hotter except maybe Pure Mood but that is more on the cool side not hot like this.
Jay Beckenstein (a sax), Jorge Dalto (p), Rob Mounsey/Tom Schuman (synth), David Samuels (vib), Steve Love (g), Marcus Miller (b), Steve Gadd (d), Gerardo Velez/Manolo Badrena (perc) and horns in 1982.
I'm sorry to say it but Spyro Gyra was the only band (of their type) consistently to release great music year after year. Contemporaries like Yellowjackets, Matheney, Jean Luc Ponty, David Sanborne, et al (and I love hem all) all had their moments, but EVERY SPYRA GRYA ALBUM RULES
Original song from MFSB. But this SG rendition blows my mind just fresh out of college. Jay B is at his best here. Let me practice those notes on my alto.
MFSB's "Old San Juan" is a completely different song, composed by James Herb Smith and Joel Bryant. This here, while having the same name, is an original Jay Beckenstein composition. But I agree: Jay is absolutely amazing here. Enjoy listening and playing!
You can't imagine the impact of this music when I have heard it for the first time 32 years ago. Still today it cause me goosebumps.
Precisely. It is getting on for 40 years for me. A friend got the LP and played it to me. My musical world changed that day!
Same here, friend... I was in Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when I came across this piece... what a strong impact on me... I still have the cassette tape with me, almost 40 years ago now...
me this morning in the car. when that 1 min mark. GOOSEBUMPS
Oh yes I can! (even after all these years, including the 2 years ago you posted this!) 👍
A mystery of life’s dream. Is all in each piece of ‘tis sound Goosebumps
Growing up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I used to drive at night in the streets of Old San Juan and blast this on my stereo. Those were good times!!!!!!
Holy shit that sounds amazing. Blasting this driving around anywhere anytime feels great, can't even imagine.
It takes me (a South African) straight to Old San Juan without ever having been there..beautiful piece❤️
This was my first Spyro Gyro Album . Love it so much that I went to see them live in Concert in Philly’a Mann Music Theater. Show was Off the Charts!!😎😎
What a lucky SOB you are. I've never got to see them. Bet they did this tune?
I listened when i was 19 in Boston. Now i live in Phuket i still listening .
I've always love spyro gyra since the 70s.
Sounds just as good now as it did in 1982.
Ayyy Bendito Puelto Rico....Borinquen soy....This is to you,Puertoricans at heart, and at birth.
I absolutely love this song, possibly my favorite from SpyroGyra
This song takes you there without really being to Old San Juan. Beautiful!
I as well...the day frank Zappa Passed away.😍
운전중 듣다가 너무 멋진 멜로디에 감동받았습니다~
겨우겨우 찾아서 다시 들어 봅니다
Tengo 65 años y este grupo me ha facinado desde que lo oí a los 20

Jay wrote this song for his 30th birthday................. with a smile on his face....as he puts it, "That's a LONG time ago"
This joint is flawless from beginning to end! Standout joint from Spyro Gyra's Incognito Album!
Was cruisin in the streets of London and blasting this song in my friends car. TQ Fadzil.
Jay Beckenstein was at his best here.
Rock and occasionally salsa in Puerto Rico , but when I heard Spyro I got “hooked “ I play percussion I always apply this to my music .
I thought caribe was my favorite song until I discovered this the other day it’s 2023
I have been d fan n listening them for 30 years since my younger days...hv all d cassette.....d music touches my deep to my soul. Each time listening again brings back old memories.

At or near the top of all time SPYRO GYRA classics. It's been out of the live setlists WAY WAY TOO LONG!
They play it on the current tour!

Old San Juan 🇵🇷🔥
Last night they play it in Old San Juan!
ALWAYS featured in live shows and full of improvisation genius from the guys!!!!
Jay kills on this!
I love this band. I first heard them in 2002 and fell in love with them. They came to Kyiv in 2009 and 2018 and I was there both times.
I saw this band in Puerto Rico for the firs time😊 on early 80's. Got most of their recordings
I admire them very much
I love your music forever
Thank you Art Goode and Jazz Trax for introducing me to this group and this tune. Have loved this tune ever since it came out in the 80's.
I play the sax still trying to play this well but I know with practice and God's help I will play this well one Day.

A friend stopped by to borrow my alto sax for a gig he had that night. He dropped the Catching The Sun album on me, and my life was forever changed.
My happiness n elation know no bounds right now. Thank you Spyro G for lifting my spirits.
I adore Spyro Gyra especially this masterpiece ! From 1987 till now! it reminds me greek islands!
Spyro Gyra Rocks. SS
Mucho bueno Spyro Gyra
One of the main songs that pulled me to Jazz. I could dream I was there!
3:11 just art
This is my favorite SpyroGyra song ❤👍

What a horn section and arrangement! Killer guitar solo as well. What production!
Jorge Dalto was a giant. It was a tragedy that he died so young.
Hiram Bullock on guitar . . .Say no more. RIP.
I never love music before 1983, but Old San Juan took me in and out from jamming studio🎉🎊 you guys rock👍😎

🎵🌎💖🥁🎸🎹FAVOLOSI SPYROGYRA🎵💃👍My favourite edition of this Funky-Jazz-Soul Ensemble🎵💖😘
This is an all time favourite
Epic piece
Somehow SG performed at my small university back in the day! Northern Kentucky University
One of my favorites
This and "Oasis" are my favorite joints from Spyro Gyra's "Incognito" Album!! This is Modern Jazz magic!
This is just incredible.
one of my fav never ever gets old
killer track.
between marcus miller and will lee, SG's early LPs always featured such top-flight low end.
That guitar solo is so evocative of Old San Juan! This song has it all. 🙏💥
RIP Hiram Bullock 😪
Jerry Hey and The Seawind horns are as tight a horn section as you will get. They set it off on this track.
Amo esta música. Tão intensa, fala muito comigo. Adoro💖❤🥰
That Album 💿 Cover Art
Still the best - had it on cassette and then on CD and loving it
Nice, good harmonia and very fresh taim, groove smooth jazz, hard staff =
Tom schuman, 👌👌👌 and 4star gtr ideologi. Piano solos is hard!!!
Fantastic!!!
Makes me want to learn to 🕺 💃 big time !!!!!!!
For me, Incognito is the best album done by Spyro Gyra. That's just me of course!
The unknown soldier, one of Spyrogira's song that i really love...
Thank you super!!!

Check out some of the Japanese jazz bands. Casiopea in particular is full of great albums as well.
❤
I couldn't find this in Tidal, not in Deezer either.
Lovely song about Puerto Rico's capital city. I think the good Puerto Ricans should have their indepence from the the USA.
