most beautiful piano solo ever❤

[@66lallogianca]

There’s no words to describe how wonderful is every single note you played in your life. RIP Lyle, beloved genius ❤

[@artcamacho9366]

Probably the best emotional, passionate, and skillful rendition ever put forward by our hero… L. M., you will forever be engraved in our hearts❤️❤️❤️

[@carlogns932]

I was searching for Pat and this captured my attention. Tomorrow is the 4th year without Lyle and I like to watch him playing one of his best compositions with his friend. Thank you Lyle (and thank you wanwan). 😢

[@wanwan_-hx4iy]

Thank you for watching and commenting. When you commented it was the anniversary of Lyle Mays death, Japan time. I have always loved his playing. I was really sad when I found out he passed away, but I did my best and uploaded the video below. Please take a look if you would like to see it. Thank you very much. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mQp2x_gJupe68

This is hands down one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard in my entire life - if not THE MOST BEAUTIFUL. R.I.P. LYLE.

[@markorlando]

RIP Lyle you have brought so much joy into my life and still for over 40 years

[@kennygasch4035]

There is nothing to be said. Words cannot explain the brilliance of it all.

It’s for years and years that Mays that magic soul makes me happy by listening his music. This guy touches my soul

[@Masug704]

I miss this beautiful soul

[@SusanJohnson-xl3ys]

Wow!! My thoughts exactly. Kudos for your analysis of Lyle and his genius. So sure of his gift and seemingly unassuming. Miss knowing he’s not on this planet anymore.

[@mootech230]

so good ... Pat and Lyle from another world ... GOAT's

[@paolopilutti7824]

Unforgettable piece, wonderful, a piece of my life, thanks Lyle and PAT. ❤

[@DJ.JAZZCRUSADER]

💙 Wunderbar!

[@michaelcorenzwit8118]

Lyle is one of my favorite musicians. He is, imo, the heir apparent to Bill Evans. Btw, Evans was Lyle’s favorite pianist. Mays wrote a song “September 15th” in homage to Evans.

[@guillaumewb]

and Debussy as well, he even formed a trio to play his music at some point I think

[@stuartdryer1352]

Bill and Lyle are my two favorite pianists. I like your comment.

[@vancouvertraumarecovery243]

thanks so much. all the amazing stuff Lyle couldn't pack onto the album version.

[@n9909e]

Saw Pat this Saturday night in NOLA's Orpheum - fantastic acoustics. He was perfect, as usual, solo and very innovative in on-the-spot playing/dubbing/rebubbing several guitars, including a Fender VI bass. However, I did think how Lyle is missed.

[@DanielBarberMusic]

@copperfield3629 Magnificent is the word for it, indeed. He was the soul and orchestral and harmonic brilliance of PMG for me, as well. In fact, I was a Lyle Mays fan before PMG and he's the reason I picked up the original PMG (white) album when it first appeared on shelves when I was working in a record store. :-) His artistry was always and still is absolutely stunning to me. His music never gets tiring and I can hear his compositions and his playing and his solos over and over again and they never cease to delight me and bring me to a state of pure awe and appreciation. He was one of the truly great masters of music and sits in a category of his own as far as I'm concerned.

[@mattmustapick4062]

Yup

[@michaelvaladez6570]

A wonderful composition of Lyle Mays..and a live version at that.Thank you for this post greatly appreciated.

[@edgreen8140]

Bravo Dr. Mays! Rip. If this doesn't move you check and see if you have a pulse.

[@jimyoung940]

For two minutes or so, J.S. Bach would have listened with a furrowed brow. Then his eyes would have narrowed and lightened as he realized he was listening to the pianist of his dreams, accompanied by the guitarist of his dreams.

[@bluetv6386]

He told you so?

[@jimyoung940]

@@bluetv6386 I'm old, but not quite that old.

[@DanielBarberMusic]

Mays had a huge appreciation of Bach and spoke and wrote about Bach's influence on his compositions. I imagine you're right, Bach would have loved May's music.

[@amncionesco3659]

Masterpiece ❤

[@copperfield3629]

This is MAGNIFICENT, thank you so much for uploading. Love Pat's playing, but when uplifted by Lyle's immaculate touch, it is just elevated to a whole new level - Lyle was so much the soul of the PMG for me. Such a magnificent piece of music. and an outstanding performance

[@wanwan_-hx4iy]

Thank you for watching. ” Lyle was so much the soul of the PMG for me” I feel exactly the same way. By the way, I noticed that you commented on my upload of "Ozark", but I had not noticed it for a long time. Last month I noticed and re-uploaded "Ozark". kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rWlYJsqa-rhbc Thank you.

[@JilleneLuce]

I agree! I've been a mega fan of Lyle ever since seeing/hearing him first in -- 1977? 78? with Pat Metheny. An awe-inspiring musician!

[@paolopilutti7824]

More and more I say my God! What a genius. How he can expand the time and make wonderful everything he touches. This interpretation is pure gold. ❤

[@guidance19]

Liles Mays and Pat Metheny is music straight from heaven. Lyle May's was touched by an angel on that day, or was he an angel?

[@rickperlstein9988]

Once, driving from Chicago to Marquette, Michigan, I saw a sign for Lyle's hometown--Wausaukee, Wisconsin--and detoured to pay my respects. Talked to the guy who sat next to him in the trumpet section in high school. " All he talked about was music."

[@DanielBarberMusic]

Wow, it's amazing you ran across that guy. No doubt he had some stories...

[@janetfullwood3319]

skill and emotion...

[@Manami-project]

Such a magnificent piece of music.

[@MichaelGalasso-x9n]

No better combination than these two.

[@brianfrost7376]

Strong connections to Bill Evan’s tribute. I listen to them in series. Lyle Mays… the 20th century piano man!

[@michaelmalodrums9674]

Beautiful early version of close to home filmed at the Montreal Jazz festival 1982 . Incase anyone wants to know where it was filmed 🙏🏻

[@krzysztofakwapinska9520]

So it was at Montreal Jazz Festival… The other artists piece I love so much that I could compare with this gem (my love towards it only, not the artistic level) is Candy Dulfers I can’t make you love me with brilliant guitar solo of Ulco Bed, also played live at Montreux. Beautiful.

[@hamontyh9326]

Entre las notas del piano de Lyle del minuto 7 y un trago de mi copa de vino, absorto y a la vez, concluyendo que la perfección existe, musicalmente hablando, más alma y espíritu que carne, conectado con el cosmos y esas teclas, algo inexplicable para un común mortal como yo....

[@RJMHudsonChampaign]

This is from Pat Metheny Group live at the Montreal Jazzfestival 1982.

[@louislafontaine5984]

I moved to Montreal in 1986 and saw the Pat Metheny Group free outdoor shows two times. One on McGill avenue around 1987. Are You Going With Me performance was awesome and memorable. The last concert was on the scene close to the place des Arts. That was the Way up tour! A very complex musical odyssey the general public receptive to.

[@RJMHudsonChampaign]

The day of our death it will be perfect with Pat and Lyle music.

[@countessclara]

Why does the piano sounds by Lyle Mays strike us so much?. Por qué nos llaman tanto la atención los sonidos del piano de Lyle Mays? Respuesta: porque es una música de otro planeta, ñlena de armonía y belleza que nos lleva al éxtasis y nos llena de positivismo. Lyle Mays es un genio de otra galaxia sin dudas.

[@zezoribeirooficial]

Buena tio. Pat un narcisista q trago 80% de la música de Lyle.

[@DanielBarberMusic]

Good question. One reason, it seems to me, is that he puts heart and soul into every note. Music becomes this immediate expression of wonder and joy and love and light, and he cares about every moment of it.

[@daudabdel-aziz7496]

What can anyone write about Lyle Mays?

[@АлександрУранский]

👍👍👍 ... )))

[@manmars1581]

What keyboards Lyle used in this video, does someone knows? I recongnized them all but non the keyboard under Synclavier that had last octave on the left with white keys black and black one white. (It's more than one octave because it has also c#, d, d# and e keys)

[@aliensporebomb]

I see in this video Oberheim 4-voice, Prophet 5, Yamaha CP-70, Synclavier II and below the Synclavier I believe that's a Yamaha organ either a YC-20, an SK-15 or a YC-45D.

Pat deve 80% da sua obra ao Lyle e não teve hombridade de fazer um vídeo de agradecimento qdo Lyle partiu. Pat = covarde + narcisista + mal caráter.

[@uncasbrook5396]

I can tell you one thing. Pat Chose to play venues that required the audience to have taken the Jab. Needless to say I couldn’t attend my 14th Metheny show as a result. And yes, it would be very appropriate for Pat to Honor Lyle in some public fashion.
