CAIRO (the U.S band) was one of the best 90ies prog band, sadly underrated (if not forgotten).
Since the original composer/keyboard player (Mark Robertson) left the music scene long ago any reunion of the original band is highly unlikely (they stopped/disbanded in 2001, after having released three records).
It's nice to see that Jeff Brockman (the original dummer) is still trying hard to keep the memory of the band alive by his regular posts on his YT channel. He obviously still like to play CAIRO's music very much and is technicaly a fantastic drummer in the samel league as Minneman, Portnoy , Peart, Harrison, Palmer et al. It's difficult to understand why no "big" prog names (in search of a drummer) never thought hiring him, he deserves a better job than a "virtual" YT band. Hopefully he's doing some sessions work ?
Recently he posted a video where he plays "Corridors" (a very complex and difficult track from "Conflict and Dreams) "virtually" (semi-live) with japanese musicians (the key player is really amazing !)
Fantastic playing and track.
Any other CAIRO fans here ?
