Lyle Mays/MA,USA 1982 & 1986

While fans around the world are still mourning his untimely death, it is no exaggeration to say that the full scope of the various talents of Lyle Mays, a true genius who cannot be understood only by the Pat Metheny Group, will be revealed. A title that records the stormy performance in the highest quality sound has appeared! ! Maze’s sextet, including Joe Lovano, performed at The Willow in Somerville, Massachusetts on May 29, 1982, and the trio with Mark Johnson and Peter Erskine performed at Berklee in Boston on April 27, 1986.・A must-listen edition is now available, a 2-disc set of coupling recordings of live performances at the Performing Arts Center, recorded in the highest quality stereo sound (board) with the label’s own careful mastering! ! The 1982 sextet proved Mays’ outstanding talent not only as a player but also as an arranger. As if by magic, they come together to create a dynamic sound. In addition to the piano, he also freely manipulates keyboards including synthesizers, producing a kaleidoscope of diverse performances. There are also songs that overlap with the early days of PMG, such as progressive rock, and when you listen to this, you will realize once again the magnitude of Maze’s contribution to the group. In the 1986 trio, you can hear a performance that would be like if Bill Evans was still alive, proving that he is top notch even when playing authentic jazz on an acoustic piano. However, in 1986, he occasionally performed magnificent progressive rock suites. Disc 1 Lyle Mays Sextet Live at the Willow,Sommerville,MA May.29.1982 EX-AUD 2020 Original Remaster 68 min 1.
