    RIP: Lyle Mays

    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.’”

    "...pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field;
    that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little,
    shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."

    -Edmund Burke

    That was a heartbreaker for sure.

    I saw that, too. Sad. Lyle Mays and Pat Metheny, what a pair of genius musicians!
