Lyle Mays - LYLE MAYS IN CONCERT 1993

[gds765red]

a very gifted man

[888ivandf]

excellente....!!

[Blanylower11]

Extraordinario artista que no hace mucho he descubierto! como dice Mr. Steven, PURE TALENT!!!

[MrPete12442]

Lyle Mays, the best pianist hands down..there are many pianist but Lyle has been doing this for yearssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssss

[AmorSabor88]

Throughout the years there have been greats in pianists but I am firmly convinced there is no one like Lyle Mays and I would be surprised to see one in my lifetime ever again. He plays as if the instrument was crafted primarily for him and I am in awe of his talents and ability to create music.

[singelding]

Ach, als je dit hoort, dan heb je toch niets meer nodig?

[Americanjazzlady]

Lyle Mays is a musical genius and can play with anyone. There are two videos in here with him and Alex Acuna playing together. Very cool. Monsieur Steven....you are correct. Amazing is a simple word, but does not do Lyle true justice. How about breathtaking, exquisite?  How do you say....abiento? Is it until next time or later? Forgive me. Forgot how to spell it. God bless Lyle.

[MonsieurSteven]

The pure talent.

[Cyberask]

è unaa funky version di Fictionary d'altronde con will kennedy alla batteria era inevitabile.

Nella versione originale la lineup era composta da Mays, mMarc Johnson e Jack De Johnette

Prediligo la versione originale ma Mays è sempre grande, anche in questa versione

[teleringendevermaeck]

awsome, hear Will at the background?

[andreaprodan]

Saw Lyle in Rome.

Strangely, he was playing a Gatenwald

an Patito De Lucia was on bass (Rodby hadn't hooked up to ECM yet).

Dave Samuels was on a Sagenschulkind (fretless can).

Blew my mind. So fluid it was nearly gas. I chuckled, giggled somewhat

and spanked my wiplet.

Lyle smiled sideways with a 'typical' gusto

we all just HAD to laugh... then... the doorbell rang...

"Who?! at THIS hour whatsmore... I shifted, uncomfortably on the sofa... why was it ALWAYS this way? Lyle hadn't called to say..

[JohnRoss1956]

Lyle is why I love PMG

[Americanjazzlady]

@JohnRoss1956 Lyle and Pat write magnificent music together. But...since I'm a piano player, Lyle holds a special place in my heart and always will. I wish I could play like him. PMG hasn't been to South Florida in quite awhile.  I miss seeing them. God bless you.

[MrCountryman1234]

my favourite player on piano , chic is bad but mays has the touch of an angel

[Americanjazzlady]

@MrCountryman1234 Amen. honey! :)  I love to listen to Lyle play. Sometimes his playing brings tears to my eyes.

[Svettjodd]

@Americanjazzlady I know what you mean, jazz lady!

[MonsieurSteven]

Tears... each times for me, potentially...

The term "amazing" is to restrictive for Lyle.

[purpureox]

Sutileza y pasiòn en este Harlequin que reconcilia el jazz, con lo clàsico y el corazòn rìtmico de brasil en una maravillosa sìntesis.

Lyle todavìa tienes mucho que decir.Atinaste

Welington, gracias.

[raguivilla]

powerful!

[atoolking]

Ho, you old hippy, Ilove you!!

[nono83666]

Très grand pianiste ,très grand musicien

et pour avoir eu la chance de le rencontrer

très grand Monsieur

[CLASSICALJAJ]

This man is a genius

[caniportnoy]

Tremendo

mui bueno!

[FLDavid]

He is definitely "Mister Smooth"

[andlagbr]

ótimo víseo

[stevetaylorkimball]

Lyle is the best.

[jazzplayer11]

yas

[Americanjazzlady]

@stevetaylorkimball I agree.

[dicksometimes]

Surfed in because a memory of meeting Mr. Metheny surfaced.

...and that sounds like a little Feat melody, correct me if I'm wrong. "Representing the Mambo," from the album of the same name.

Or was it the other way around. I had the little Feat CD ...???...

[mikeroephonics]

@dicksometimes I borrowed 'Waiting for Columbus' from my mom. I guess I should return that to her, today...lol Good stuff!

[croon4u]

WOW! I was so sad when I couldn't play my Streetdreams cassette (yes, cassette) anymore, so TGFYouTube. Have to go find the CD. Lyle Mays is amazing - should be more of his playing everywheeeeeeeeeeeere. What a great group here...

[mzostrat]

Magical Mays!

[Emeraldjazzlady]

Lyle Mays is one of the best and finest keyboard/piano/musician/perfor­mers/composers of our time. I love to listen to him play. There is no one like Lyle. He's the best!!!!

[taiyo06]

There's always some idiot out there who could fuck up an orgy in progress(if he were ever invited to one). jagheterjonteh is that idiot.

[dariuccio2007]

+ so brutti + so bravi

[marvalhal]

Thank you Lyle Mays for your magic fingers and a deep soul!

[marvalhal]

He is wonderfull, you fuckugly guy!!!

[SUNSNARE06]

AWESOME!!! What an awesome lineup!!!

[rzr233]

wow

[Wesbound1]

Thank you Lyle. Always been your fan....

[Emeraldjazzlady]

Me too! I'll take a hug from him. He's awesome, genius, the wonderful man with the million dollar hands. I am so sorry I didn't practice piano like I should have. I will start again very soon. Playing is one of my loves in life. GOD BLESS YOU for posting and GOD BLESS YOU LYLE!!

[vegastyphoon]

...I saw Lyle at the University of Miami. The guy is a genius.

[quesapa]

Micheal Sagmeister, what a great guitar player!!

[MonsieurSteven]

Lyle is my greatest source of inspiration when I play piano, since the first time I listened him with the PMG... and later on its own discs. Real pure anthology albums, in my opinion.

Only good things and a very very long life for Lyle!

[dutch008]

One of the finest keyboard players

of all time. He's brilliant. So

fluid. Awesome.

[PabloVestory]

¡¡Qué GRANDE!!

[gabrielasprouse]

Wish he would head into the recording studio and make some music. Its been TOOOOO long.

[tone143]

Also,I prefer this version to the one from the CD-looser feel,sort of.

[tone143]

The drummer from Yellowjackets and the vibes player from Spyro Gyra are backing him-too cool!

[tone143]

Beautiful!Some of Lyle's tunes have this elusive sort of spirit to them,whimsical,like you're not quite sure of any "core" to the song,but it buoys the spirit nonetheless.I was just listening to "Slink"-it's a perfect example of this-it constantly "slinks" away from you,but it keeps you comin' back,tryin' to dig the thing it alludes to-like it infers rather than answers anything.Great artist!

[valenzulu06]

My Hero, A musician of highest spirit, a mind blowing balance between intelect and emotion, A master of Harmony and counterpoint, and a Hair that I envy.

So frustrating to have now news about him, not updates on the Pat Metheny site.

Hope the best for Him

[sprinngggg]

is my favorite musicans

[tzolo]

Lyle es un genio total, es un musico especialisimo, con una base lirica incuestionable y un balanco y cadencia de quien a oido toda la musica de brasil....

Grande e incomprendido...

[smithfield06]

yes i agree very underatted but his place is assured with his time in pmg

[looselegz]

great stuff indeed!

[riboflavinjoe]

wow, great stuff, thanks!

[yellowlght]

What a breath of fresh air, talk about great jazz & an excellent quartet of musicians - Lyle Mays is very original as usual..what a great piece..)

[glawax]

Amazing Lyle Mays as always !

[pianist007]

Lyle Mays : My favorite musician !! and a very underrated artist

[chamesrichalds]

Thanks for this!

I agree about the vibes though - why?

Fictionary was such a great trio recording, especially "Lincoln Reviews His Notes"

Lyle doesn't need anybody else, no sax, no vibes, no guitar...just a trio please.

[ViewtifulMan16]

You should find the other part to this concert, they play a song by Sagmeister called "Hangin' Out" and its pretty bomb!

[fendweller]

What a priceless rarity. Thanks. But what possessed him to have vibes in the band? Tramples all over the piano - argh!

[leoleckeys]

Muito obrigado Tom !!!

Valeu mesmo !

E aguardo pelos outros hein...

Abraço.

[almatazz]

He is the greatest !

***** and Favorite !

Thanks for posting !
