Lyle Mays Trio/GA,USA 1981 2Days

In 1981, four years before the release of his first album as a leader, “Mirror of the Heart”, Mark Johnson, a fellow student at the University of North Texas and later the bassist of the Bill Evans Trio, and Although it is an unofficial edition that includes a remastered live performance of the two-day performance at the famous live house “EJ’s” in Atlanta, Georgia, featuring Metheny Group’s Danny Gottlieb on drums, and a soundboard sound source with pitch correction for each song. A 3-disc set that is sure to be a treasure for fans has appeared. The first thing that surprises me is that they are playing “Fictionary”, which was released in 1993, in 1981. The ensemble that flows from the piano in the intro was already completed at this point. Also, many of the songs played included the standard classics “My Funny Valentine,” “Stella Starlight,” and “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most.”・You can listen to Swallow’s “I’m Your Pal” and “Falling Grace,” as well as “Cross to Home” from his first album as a leader, in a beautiful acoustic trio. The dignified piano tone that perfectly matches the outstanding technique is one of a kind. In addition, Maze’s piano performance is sparked by the fusion of Mark Johnson, a master musician who has performed with him from the University of North Texas Jazz Lab Band, which he joined in 1975, and Danny Gottlieb, who he has known since his ECM days. What can we say? This is a realistic document that allows you to enjoy a masterpiece worthy of commemorating Lyle Mays’s existence as a jazz pianist.
