Lyle Mays was a keyboardist and co-founder of the Pat Metheny Group. He also happened to be part of one of the most beautiful experiences of synchronicity and serendipity in which I’ve ever participated. I want to write the whole story but for today all I can do is listen to this…my favorite Metheny/Mays composition, written in honor of the great jazz pianist Bill Evans, who passed away on September 15, 1980.
