The spirit of PMG is alive and very well. Oh my god, the opening bass intro to the piano playing to the guitar synth solo, the orchestrations, everything about this piece just screams pure magic to the point that i'm actually crying with tears of joy while i'm listening and taking all of it in. God bless you Pat Metheny and thank you so much for this beautiful gift.
Absolutely - couldn't agree more. That opening bass, from Ron Carter, and then the piano (Gwilym Simcock), it is an opening that (my) dreams are made of. And a total bolt of emotion. Lean back, close your eyes, and absorb.
@@elscooter i couldn't agree with you, it's one of those songs that you just sit there and take all of the magic in. The bass player on this album isn't Ron Carter, its the lovely and very talented Linda May Han Oh.
I was in my car driving to work listening to Real Jazz and they played several PMG and Lyle tracks in a row. I had to pull over. I was so gutted I couldn't drive. I'm about the same age as these guys, first heard them live around 1979. They've been a part of most of my life. This hurts. This track is beautiful. Like the others posted from this album. This helps. Thanks Pat for posting. I cant imagine how you feel.
Yet at the same time, I felt his absence ... Pat plays with so many great musicians, but there is something about Lyle’s ‘spontaneous arrangements’ underneath Pat’s guitar synth solos that is like nothing else. Now excuse me while I cue up ‘Slink’ again ... :)
@@txa1265 I agree. This album is really about Pat and his current collaborators, and it's absolutely wonderful what they all did. This sounds like pure Pat Metheny. But Lyle did have an impact here. It's not in the sound or the arrangement, but it's in how the composition and arrangement tells a dramatic story. Lyle did that on a level that no other composer in jazz has ever done. That's what Lyle brought to the PMG, and Pat hasn't forgotten that.
I sincerely feel bad for people that will never get to listen to Pat Metheny. I'm glad by brother introduced me to PMGs Offramp at the age of 14. I thank my brother all the time.
I wonder if the day will ever come when that signature Pat Metheny sound 2:43 no longer has the hypnotic effect on me that it does? I doubt it, not after 40 years. THANK YOU PAT!
RIP Lyle Mays. The selflessness of a jazz giant, and the collaboration with Metheny was top notch. I mean I love Zawinul/Shorter Bird/Dizzy Hellborg/Lane McLaughlin/Hussain. But Metheny/Mays lasted longer.
With my deepest respect to the whole work on this tune, but man.... that bass is just out of this world. Linda May Han Oh... she is just incredible and such a talent. Wow..... great for me that I was able to follow her all throughout this tune is really incredible how she handles effortless the contra-bass
This songs so grooving. The bass part that player loops for some parts of song is not as easy as it sounds took me about 10 minutes to get perfect on an acoustic/ electric bass plucking like an upright on last fret
While I am thoroughly enjoying this (Thank you Pat), I had no idea that Lyle Mays passed on, until I read the comments here. It's a real shame. I was so hoping to see PMG unite just one more time. There was always something special about how Lyle tickled the ivories. To this day, I still find myself replaying that short, soft, simple piano solo from "Here to Stay" from the album "We Live Here". There's just something about it that makes me gravitate to it. Today will be a PMG Music day, for the entire group, but especially for Lyle. Rest in Peace Mr. Mays.
On reading your comment, I listened to that piano solo in "Here to Stay." I forgot how fantastic that part was. Lyle just seems to be strongly expressing himself. Love the sequenced/delayed percussion. Listening again...that solo is magic.
My sentiments exactly. I'm still trying to deal with Kobe and then I ran into the news about Lyle. I was afraid they were going to wait too long....I can"t believe it's been 15 years since The Way Up.
Listening to Pat's music is like having a mystical experience that can warm your soul in an increasingly crazy world. This kind of music gives me every time I listen to it a deep sense of well-being, peace and love which is the true meaning of our own life
Saw Pat with his new group for 2nd time , in March 20 in Perth Oz -he expressed his overwhelming sadness at Lyle's passing - they must have been like brothers all this time -what a bond they had and created fantastic music together . Will remember Lylle forever in his own music as well as part of PMG .PAT moves on unselfishly nurturing young talent and developing new music. His talent is boundless. R I P Lyle .DJEJ
When we saw Pat in Sydney on 7 March, I don’t recall him mentioning anything. I thought perhaps he did not want it to take away our focus from the fantastic musicians who were with him but seeing your comment, perhaps the loss was too raw
Music that transcends time and place, a calming therapy. I've been listening to his brilliance since 1978 and it never wears on me. Lyle you will be missed!
The perfect track to remember Lyle Mays by. There's so much classic PMG DNA in this track, a feel of Are You Going With Me? at quicker tempo, a melody that would fit perfect on a Speaking of Now track and have to say the bass on this track on its own is worth the entrance fee, instantly addictive!!! As I say on all my Pat comments I've been a fan since 1984 and proud of it, Pat provides the soundtrack to my life.
Beautiful new compositions! The orchestral arrangements & recording here harken back to “CTI Sound” of the 70’s/80’s heard on so many classic albums engineered by my late Uncle Rudy Van Gelder. CTI founder/producer Creed Taylor’s vision comes shining through, yet, in a modern context. As a musician and avid PM follower since ‘77, it amazes me how Pat continues to evolve, while using such elements from the past. I know an orchestra wasn’t originally planned here, yet it sounds organic & brings these gems to life! Upon each listen, new elements reveal themselves. Once again showing that Pat is not only a great composer & live performer, but continues to be a virtuoso at “using the studio as an instrument”. A gem!
Pat's trademarks are all here. Within a single style and tonality, this man abounds in endless variations. I didn't know that Lyle Mays' breath went away. He left a legacy that will live on.
Pat Metheny...one of the most brilliant and incredible musicians of our time, if not ever..Much appreciation for the musicians who have the opportunity to play with Pat, they help bring the music to life. Pat's music goes beyond categorization or definition.
SInce the very first tune from the upcoming album was released, I have the PMG feeling(sonically and like compositions/arrangements). It is a coincidence that Lyle's spirit left his body and we can sense it through the music.
This album really taps into the PMG period between Still life talking and Secret Story.. so many nuances in style, phrasing, and techniques... a throw back to the time..
Same River is a modern American Jazz classic. It's both enchanting and entracing at the same time. It's a piece of music that touches the heart and the soul. All the musicians on this song are fantastic and they seem to play amongst themselves in an effortless flow. Find a time and space that are quiet, close your eyes and just let the music take you away.
I had no idea LYLE has gone it's 3.20 am and I am reading and listening to..... SAME RIVER CLOSE TO HOME and the simply haunting ...LONG LIFE....are in the DNA of my life since 1984.....my god..... LYLE A GIANT IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARD IT PLAY IT NOW Like a lot of the heartfelt comments and the effect PAT has on our lives we are richer for every moment we live
Pat Metheny music is the music of my soul. I discovered PMG in my late teens and it will be with me for my entire life. Hands down my favorite artist 40+ years later... I was blessed to see PMG in the early 80's, then seeing Pat for the Orchestration tour and most recently at the Wichita Jazz Festival. The solo of Wichita Line Man as the finale was so spot on. (Amazing to find out after I originally wrote this, that the Wichita Jazz Festival is where Pat and Lyle met in 1974). I'm saddened by the recent news of Lyle and my heart felt condolences to all who loved and appreciated all he gave to the world. I'm sure we can all agree he will be sorely missed. This album, which I can't wait to absorb over and over, will just reinforce my love of Pats music and add to the incredible playlist of his music I will never stop playing no matter what.
Everytime i listen Pat's music, i start to floating through emotions, planets, lifes, and i know he play the voices of Gods...and i only can cray 💚 Thanks for all Pat ! (Hi Lyle, legend..see you in the other part )
Heard Off ramp as a young teen in a record shop in Ealing ( London ) superb. Years later saw in at The Royal Albeit Hall. Keep playing after the lights came on, magnificent performance.
This is such a spiritual piece of musicianship from the jazz wizard Pat Metheny. We are yet blessed again with such brilliance and spirituality from him. Pat seems to get better like a fine bottle of wine, Love this track!
Lyle was unique musically and personally and whilst the world is a sad place without him it has been eternally enriched by his contribution and his presence will always be around and experienced by anyone who hears him play - so thankful for every note he played 🙏
You will forever be one of my favorite artists of all times, congratulations on the release of this new album. Deepest condolences on the loss of your bandmate and composing partner Lyle May's. Forever in our hearts. Keep shining, Pat, the new official videos are beautifully done and spread love and light like no other in these challenging times where more is the prescription. Blessed to have heard you and PMG at UCLA Royce Hall. ❤💛🖤💚🎶🙏🏼🌎
I've been listening to Pat's music for over 40 years and it's amazing how it centers me! Regardless of the mood I'm in, it's like dropping an anchor at the same place every time. This is where I should be, where I was meant be. Requiescat In Pace Mr. Mays.
Same river the best track of the album with Fantastic PM playin of Sinth Guitar. the composition vein of the past seems to be Lost without LMays. But PM Is One of the best in the world.
I am so shocked you hear that Lyle passed away. There had to be a reason for such an amazing genius not to play anymore with Pat. I learned he had been battling a long term illness. PMG has been part of my life for 35 years and I always come back and listen to their many masterpieces. RIP Lyle, you and Pat are among the greatest musicians ever.
I saw him at the long-gone Players' Tavern in Westport CT w the "Pat Metheny Group" ensemble in the 70s. Among the top 5 concerts of my life. RIP Lyle Mays.
Wow, what a piece. When the piano blends into this stunning GR300 solo, goosebumbs all over. Strings are a new tonal part, rarely or better say really never heard before in one of Pats tunes. And even Lyle cannot be replaced and will be unforgotten (R.I.P.) Gwylim does a good job with his tasteful playing....
He is so good. I've seen him solo and he is amazing. He is playing some gigs with Tim Garland in the UK this summer and I can't wait. I think this cut is my favourite of those released so far.
My husband and I have been fans for many years, we are in our 60's! Best music and musicians I believe I've ever heard! Saw them in concert at the Fox Theater in Atlanta many years ago. The best live performance ever! Thanks Pat, Lyle , and others for your incredibly enjoyable music! Sorry to hear of Lyle's passing. Peace and blessings!
I just read the news about Lyle Mays. I’m honored to be able to say I saw the PMG twice in the mid-eighties and was able to experience his brilliance. Such a shock.
The instrumentation, orchestration, cadence and texture of this piece of music is a masterpiece that evokes your innovative spirit and genius through the years Pat. The finishing touch is the atmosphere that you create with the Roland GR-300 in the solo, an atmosphere that in particular makes me very nostalgic. You are definitely a Master of Masters.
I remember seeing the video of Yolanda You Learn by Pat's group on VH1 I believe. I instantly became a fan because of the energy and musicianship and the joy that came across.That had to be about 35 years ago. I have only had the pleasure of seeing him live at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank New Jersey. A small venue and great concert. RIP Lyle. You will be missed.
Lyle Mays was the Bill Evans of his generation. He will continue to influence other musicians and enrich the lives of anyone who loves music and cares to listen.

Pffffff, exactly what I planned to write 😁 ... Pat = 🙏😍 healing!
Hahaha we both had the same idea and you're right, this is healing music 🙏
He got that Thing on how to do it

Exactly like that. RIP Lyle.
It is so sad.
Stuart, pulling over??! That's what I'm talking about!!! Pat's music just does it to you!!!
A Pat metheny's fan?
I'm still captivated by that bass groove. So glad I saw this band live.
i saw them in seattle, wa one of the best concerts from beginning to end, they are awesome.
Not a song, track or chart. A work of art. 🎨
I feel the presence of Lyle’s spirit coming through in this one.
Absolutely....
Yet at the same time, I felt his absence ... Pat plays with so many great musicians, but there is something about Lyle’s ‘spontaneous arrangements’ underneath Pat’s guitar synth solos that is like nothing else. Now excuse me while I cue up ‘Slink’ again ... :)

Certainly Mike..Your are right..Lyle forever
Yea true. I miss Lyles
I can't upvote this enough. Nice song.
Pat Metheny has always been one of my favorites artist. His music can always help me relax on a bad and rough day.
I'm just thinking how amazing would have been a solo played by Lyle in this piece. We will miss him but his music is living in every Pat's record.
Alberto Cuetara Agree about Lyle - BUT his music also is living in Lyle’s solo work. His solo albums are pure gems.
I Agree.
You forget Steve Rodby in this bass line. Should be more round and around the melody. My points.
This is totally pat...time to move on from lyle and his greatness and just sit back and enjoy the genius of pat metheny and his love of music..
@@sergiorizzoli612 ficcionario por ejemplo
One of his greatest solo's period.
Pat Metheny is a genius...
Pat metheny you are the man! Love ,love this beautiful song!

The piano solo is the MVP on this trune for me. Stunning
How beautiful. Rest in Peace Lyle Mayes. I believe his spirit is here in this music.
Pat music is gold
Un’opera straordinaria
ギターシンセソロが終わった後の4:05からのドラマチックな展開がとにかく素晴らしい
ハリウッドオーケーストラが生きています
Another masterpiece by Metheny.
RIP Lyle Mays. The selflessness of a jazz giant, and the collaboration with Metheny was top notch. I mean I love Zawinul/Shorter Bird/Dizzy Hellborg/Lane McLaughlin/Hussain. But Metheny/Mays lasted longer.
This album is going to be amazing when it is released in full. Great work Pat! RIP to your musical brother Lyle Mays.
Its going to quickly rise in the charts to the #1 spot and stay there for weeks. Easy Grammy here, for sure!
Same River, another outstanding piece of music by Pat Metheny.
RIP Lyle one of the best piano players in the Fusion and Jazz era my favourite ! this new album of PM is amazing 😉
With my deepest respect to the whole work on this tune, but man.... that bass is just out of this world. Linda May Han Oh... she is just incredible and such a talent.

1:46 to 2:46 brought tears to my eyes. Gwilym Simcock killed this solo. I know Lyle looked down at him and smiled with this one
Indeed. Such a subtle, fitting tribute to Lyle.
Simcock is quite a brave talent
The sound of elegance

The masterpiece of this new album ! God job Pat !
Another amazing, out of this atmosphere, spine-tingling, soul-satisfying song...THANK YOU PAT!
Vraiment sublime,que du plaisir ça musique est tout simplement délicieuse.
An absolute exquisite piece.....
Wow, what a piece. When the piano blends into this stunning GR300 solo, goosebumbs all over. Strings are a new tonal part, rarely or better say really never heard before in one of Pats tunes. And even Lyle cannot be replaced and will be unforgotten (R.I.P.) Gwylim does a good job with his tasteful playing....
He is so good. I've seen him solo and he is amazing. He is playing some gigs with Tim Garland in the UK this summer and I can't wait. I think this cut is my favourite of those released so far.
Secret Story uses orchestra, the lush arrangements evoking technicolor Hollywood. The string arrangement on this tune is tastefully gauzy. Be well.
Same here, Ron. When he kicks in the 300, I get blown away. In my mind, this is one of Pat's best of the best.
And Gil Goldstein did the arrangements on both albums, if I'm not wrong. At the very least, he conducted the orchestra on the former.
RIP Lyle your music will live forever
me encanto este album, visionario y por momentos romanticos:"same river"la raja. gracias por compartirlo
My husband and I have been fans for many years, we are in our 60's! Best music and musicians I believe I've ever heard! Saw them in concert at the Fox Theater in Atlanta many years ago. The best live performance ever! Thanks Pat, Lyle , and others for your incredibly enjoyable music! Sorry to hear of Lyle's passing. Peace and blessings!
Echoing the same sentiments! Saw PMG in Richmond VA about two decades ago. A beautiful evening! This album brings back that PMG feeling.
4:05 ………. >>> damn, that‘s really more than brilliant…..
I just read the news about Lyle Mays. I’m honored to be able to say I saw the PMG twice in the mid-eighties and was able to experience his brilliance. Such a shock.
This is great piece , the romance of the music is there.
Simple, I do not have to think... if it is Pat Metheny, I will click and enjoy the music! That is it!
This is beatiful. The essence of PMG . Waiting for them in southamerica. March 2020 . LYLE LIVES.
27 seconds in... already LOVED it.
Thanks, Blessings
The instrumentation, orchestration, cadence and texture of this piece of music is a masterpiece that evokes your innovative spirit and genius through the years Pat. The finishing touch is the atmosphere that you create with the Roland GR-300 in the solo, an atmosphere that in particular makes me very nostalgic. You are definitely a Master of Masters.
I remember seeing the video of Yolanda You Learn by Pat's group on VH1 I believe.
