RIP Lyle Mays
Sad, sad news. As long as I’ve been serious about music I’ve listened to him.
“Mays studied at what was then North Texas State University (now UNT) from 1974 to 1975...the Division of Jazz Studies tweeted about Mays’ death, saying: ‘His significance to the UNT jazz studies program is widely known. His compositions and performances on piano while a member of the One O’clock Lab Band in 1975 resulted in the first-ever Grammy nomination for a college big band.’”
