Lyle Mays,Bill Frisell/NY,USA 1985

His memorable first solo album, “Cross to Home,” released in 1986, was produced the previous year in 1985 at New York’s Power Station Studio. This time, a treasure collection of sound sources that will amaze fans has been released, recording different mixes, rough mixes, unreleased outtakes, etc. recorded during the album’s production with sound quality equivalent to the official one. With the transfer of Pat Metheny to the label, Lyle Mays also became a member of the Geffen label and released his first album as a leader. What you can feel from the album is a sound that is reminiscent of a Scandinavian image, unlike the Americanized sound, and it seems that the musical taste of Bill Frisell and Mark Johnson, who participated in the album, also had an influence. Now, with the newly released studio recording, unlike songs that have been overdubbed over and over again, you can hear the image of the original song as close as possible to Lyle Mays’ concept. “To Home” was recorded.
