An absolutely amazing pianist, longtime partner of Pat Metheny and a great artist in his own right.

Lyle was an incredible musician and a synthesizer pioneer. Most commercial synthesizers have at least one sound named after Lyle. Check out the piano solo on Pat Metheny’s “Phase Dance” or the long-term “As Falls Witchita Falls” to hear his brilliance.

Cannot remember where, but I really do remember the name Lyle Mays.
Unfortunately most of my Pat Matheny stuff is LP vinyl stored without a way to play it.

Sorry to hear this! He was amazing with that keyboard set up. I saw him several times with the Pat Metheny Group. RIP

Not often able to say this, but Mays was the equal of any classical concert pianist, and a credit to the heightening of jazz into the realm of music that is inexhaustible across the generations.

I posted this on another thread before it was pulled.
Wow. So sad. Incredibly talented man. RIP.
I learned “Letter From Home” on piano per my hubby’s request years ago.

The music ebbs and flows like a loved-one reading a letter from someone far away. Just beautiful.
