The Road Scholars (w/ Dan Moore and Damani Phillips)

Co-lead by U of I professors Damani Phillips (saxes) and Dan Moore (mallet percussion), “The Road Scholars” is Iowa’s newest tribute band. Focusing exclusively on the music of the iconic jazz group Spyro Gyra, “The Road Scholars” is the first and only group of its type in the region. Landmark hits like Morning Dance, Catching the Sun and Café Amore have established Spyro Gyra as a legitimate force to be reckoned with in jazz music over the last 30 years. Moore and Phillips are joined by all-star Iowa musicians William Menefield (keys), Steve Charlson (basses) and Tim Crumley (drums) in the revival and celebration of this incredibly fun, inviting and vibrant music that you won’t hear anywhere else in the Midwest!
