R.I.P. Lyle Mays (1953-2020)
It is with great sadness that we have to report the passing of our friend and brother, Lyle Mays (1953-2020). He passed today in Los Angeles after a long battle with a recurring illness, surrounded by loved ones.
Further reflections from Pat
As a few days have passed here, I am getting so many requests to comment on Lyle’s passing. Over the past hours, in response, I took a few moments to further reflect….
Pat and our team are so happy that Lyle’s final work has gotten the recognition it deserved by a Grammy Award as Best Instrumental Composition for “Eberhard”!

Forty years later. Pat Metheny’s “80/81”.
Recorded exactly forty years ago, betwee n May 26 and May 30, 1980, Pat Metheny’s album “80/81” stands out as a very inspired and enduring example of collective creativity. The music was burning from the first note...
Exciting Side-Eye News
