I calculate that Lyle and Pat’s age is around 26-27 at the time of this recording. This is one of the most amazing piano solos I’ve ever heard bar none. And to think that on a podcast in 2016 Lyle Mays said that he didn’t consider himself to be a Jazz Pianist... whatever. Seriously, he is one of the best to have graced us with his presence in the last 100 years.
Amazing these guys just threw this in as a nod to what critics at the time might call "real jazz" - i.e. the kind of jazz these guys weren't playing, and by inference "couldn't" play. I saw the group do this a year or two before this in Providence RI, and though I was utterly blown away by all their originals, when they did this it convinced the "jazzer" in me that these guys were the real deal, even beyond. A lifetime of inspiration for me.
@@TheSubconsciousness me too! I came here for Pat Metheny and fell in Love withe the piano solo. Magic! It has everything in it I'm looking for! Very inspiring
The greatest thing is to love music and be loved by it. That's what Pat is all about. Within that realm of love, he expands himself, pushes the bounderies, and goes on the amazing excursions no other guitarists have tried before, brings back what only he can present to us. And to many of us, that's why Pat's music is so unique, catalytic, and original. I don't want Pat to play another same ol' boring bebop phrases, because that's not what music is all about.
Clear evidence that Lyle and Pat had paid their dues already at this early point in their careers. They just dance through the changes without losing their melodic themes.
I was going to say: Sorry everyone but Lyle takes the show for me; what a solo! But then I carried on listening through and realised, yeah, Pat really is an absolute phenomenon.
Caspita che assoli!!! Lyle e Pat dimostrano il loro genio fenomenale. In certi punti le frasi si somigliano, Lyle e Pat hanno tanti punti in comune. Volano alto: la loro creatività è supportata da una tecnica strumentale eccellente. Sono entrambi dei virtuosi. Un momento emozionante anche dopo 43 anni ❤
This is just so sick good. When the band kicks in after his solo solo I do have to cry a little. This is true musical freedom and a human being on its divine level, where the light suddenly can be tickly touched.
I saw these guys in Denton, maybe '79, what a show; afterwards they jammed a bunch of Beach Boys tunes! The cats at NTSU were mesmerized. It was Lyle's homecoming.
I speak from (limited) experience: Jazz musicians do not have time to worry about their hair. It may appear lazy, but it is a matter of priority. They wake up, play jazz, and go to sleep. Doing drugs is part of the equation, but not as often as people think (it is too expensive). Pussy is also part of the equation, but not as often as people think (it is too expensive). Either way, the hair is not a priority. Hair will do what hair will do. I play jazz not hair.

One of the best if not the best piano improvisation I have ever heard another another great example of not letting the ego get in the way. Just letting go which is an art in itself and letting the f gift of music come through. Just brilliant and deep but still light and airy. Unreal
LYLE May's eye's closed in touch with the sole of this standard..is truly missed and can not be replaced..his vision took this combination places.... all due respect 🙏... brilliant players and a pleasant way to pass a very fast ten minutes with a wonderful standard 😀
i have no idea what pat was playing but it was mesmerizing, put me in a trance...... amazing.... i cant believe he just played that.... its beyond human capacity.....
VERY inspired playing, especially on the piano. This piece has been played to buggery, and you'd wonder what new could be done. Well, here it is. I take my hat off.
Oustanding! It's always fund to see videos from the very early days of the PMG; the old ES175 looks practically new. Thanks so much for posting Chileanskies, great great stuff. BTW, I also agree that Lyle is an amazing and underappreciated pianist; the PMG just wouldn't be the same without him; here's hoping they make another album.
Mays really shines on this track. It's humbling, he's a master of the understatement and I never realized to what extent until I could see him play here... Pat's good too
Who else is in the band (bass.drums?) Lyle Mays has always been able to do this stuff. I heard him when he was with Woody Herman and he was great then playing four brothers and Herman chestnits from the old days.

@@jeffmatulich6857 This is 1980, so the initial poster is correct.
This is my kind of Hair Band.

Lyle is really amazing here. I can't count how many times I've listened to this solo.
What an ear and sense of time on those 88 keys
Can't stop listening to this! Lyle is a genius!
RIP Lyle Mays my biggest inspiration❤❤❤
Lyle Mays - absolutely stunning. The Guy is a monster...

Pat Metheny: ac. & el. guitars, synth. guitar
Lyle Mays: keyboards
Mark Egan: el. bass
Danny Gottlieb: drums
Thank you. At least someone who doesn't do silly hair-jokes.
One of the most amazings piano solos I ever seen. My favorite All the thing you are piano solo. Lyle mays, star!!!
c est un très grand artiste j écoute metheny groupe depuis de nombreuses années c grandiose est inspirée
I was also just thinking, this piano solo is absolutely crazy 😮
@@TheSubconsciousness me too! I came here for Pat Metheny and fell in Love withe the piano solo. Magic! It has everything in it I'm looking for! Very inspiring
This intimate setting inspires artists without all the distractions.

Absolutely right, Kathleen.

I once caught Lyle Mays with Stanely Jordan playing How Insensitive...on accordian. It was incredible.
oh Lyle you left us way too young.

Lyle Mays in the zone!
Lyle Mays - your piano is absolutely AMAZING! Genius! Thank you for posting.
the Genius of Lyle Mays.
jzwrkr can hear a lot of Wynton Kelly in there
Yeah! My god he is really hearing it right there, amazing .
Yep... Lyle's solo is the best I ever heard on that tune. Any instrument. Prodigy...
That fuckin piano solo..
That piano solo was Insane!
Woww this great ol standard has always been a fave but until now I didnt know Pat and Lyle did it!!!😅
This is just so sick good. When the band kicks in after his solo solo I do have to cry a little. This is true musical freedom and a human being on its divine level, where the light suddenly can be tickly touched.
A truly awesome rendition of this most popular jazz standard!
pat and the pianist never solo at the same time...
Theyre the same person!!!
I saw these guys in Denton, maybe '79, what a show; afterwards they jammed a bunch of Beach Boys tunes! The cats at NTSU were mesmerized. It was Lyle's homecoming.
absolutely BEAUTIFUL keyboard playing at the beginning. goddamn that guy shreds
I'm astonished never seen a so creative energetic technical soulfull and beautifull all the things you are
I never had a doubt that Lyle Mays plays traditional jazz but never listened it before.
stunning pianoplayer......blasts you away !

Lyle Mays a great Musician! Pat very good too!
This is not the first time I hear Pat playing a jazz cover, but he truly has a really recognizable sound

Genius...just pure genius.

Wowza !!!

Belle version et jouée avec conviction résultat ---> SUPERBE :!!!!!!!
Listen to this awesome pianist. Undoubtely, Pat Metheny can choose his musicians.
Wow, one of the best interpretation of A.T.T.Y.A that I've heard. No wonder M & L have and will remain writing and playing couplet for life!
el mejor solo de piano que he escuchado
Whoooooa! Lyle! Man o man!
Great pianist!!!!!!!!!!
Wes Montgomery and Wynton Kelly are Number 1 Smokin at the half note and this would close to second
Increedible Lyle Mays!
From 1:35 on there's no turning back. Remarkable take on All The Things You Are. Even the unresolved ending of the recording leaves me feeling...
incredible.
I would sell my soul to be able to play like that
love the energy behind everyone's playing.
Pat Metheny Genius !!!
Incroyable !
Awesome!!
Fascinating! Lyle Mays solo is a marvel, Pat's is astonishing...
1:57, that little bluesiness, there…😌👌
Bad boys. Feelin it
After that Lyle May's solo Pat was forced to kill it, man he did.
they’re all look like rocker... dope!
Very very genius!!!
Lyle Mays is amazing pianist.. great!!!

Nunca te olvidaremos Lyle
Que buena presentacion, definitivamente Lyle ha sido el motor de Pat Metheny Group

P-Bass!? Love it!
Mays really shines on this track. It's humbling, he's a master of the understatement and I never realized to what extent until I could see him play here... Pat's good too
love me some good jazz.. this is what the promoter said to to mister metheny"hey pat can you play autumn leaves really fast?"
I mean Pat's amazing.
I just cant believe Lyle is no longer with us.
Who else is in the band (bass.drums?) Lyle Mays has always been able to do this stuff. I heard him when he was with Woody Herman and he was great then playing four brothers and Herman chestnits from the old days.
Mark, Lyle y Dan, la mejor época de Pat
Not to speak of Pat's incredible playing...!
