This album is a masterpiece! It’s among my top ten albums, and it really speak to my soul, and is totally on par with Pat’s best stuff. Do yourself a favour and listen to the whole album! Lyle was a wonderful musician with a totally unique approach to music!
This is what a "Musical Genius" creates in his mind of many wonders and mysteries. Lyle's compositions are simply surreal and other worldly. Words don't do him justice. RiP Mr. Mays and thank you for leaving us your timeless Legacy. Peace
Although Lyle is gone, his legacy lives on in his music. He was one of the musical giants. His melodies and harmonies were complex, yet accessible. Do "September Fifteenth" from the "As Falls Wichita, so Falls Wichita" from Pat and Lyle.
Or even the title track! Great record.
As Falls Wichita...was my intro to Lyle Mays and Pat Metheny. I've listened to marvelous music by other artists in the intervening 30+ years but nothing has surpassed the mind-blown experience of the afternoon I first heard this album. Changed my life.
@@xelamercedes The transitions from piano to guitar are phenomenal on that album.
Yes Lyle Mays was a legendary musical composer.
"Do "September Fifteenth" from the "As Falls Wichita, so Falls Wichita" from Pat and Lyle."
That's a truly beautiful work.
Lyle Mays is an immortal genius. Grazie
When you listen to Lyle's music it is obvious he plays straight from the heart.
'Listeners' look for 'I love you baby' lyrics while 'Musicians' appreciate the 'Artistry and Composition' skills of a fellow Musician and marvel at the 'Musical Genius's'. Lyle Mays was NO Doubt a Musical Genius. Thank you Lyle for leaving your Gift of music for us all to listen to till the end of time. RIP Lyle Mays 1953-2020
My favorite thing to do when listening to Lyle music, is to turn off all the lights, sit in the dark and be transported to another world.
That exquisite guitar (around when you say "What is this?" Nick, and before and after...) is Bill Frisell. There's a new rabbit hole. Absolute original genius.
I just ordered a Bill Frisell CD for them. I went with “Quartet” because of the improvisation with other musicians. He varies album to album. I personally like some covers, like “Rumble,” and I like “Blues for Los Angeles.” What album would you recommend for them? Thanks. I’ll try to find it to send. ✨🤪
Oh, I also ordered Bill Frisell’s “Unspeakable” for them. ✨🤪
@@michelemichele3375 You go! I think under his own name the trio "Live" record is my favorite, but if I were to pick individual tracks for reactions, they might be other things. Like "White Fang" from Unspeakable. I'll think on "Quartet" -- amazing display of his arranging, that whole record. I think for Nick's purposes some of the more aggressive stuff (like "Half a Million' or "Alien Prints" from the earlier material. Or some of his best work was with Paul Motian's trio.... but yeah! Absolutely LOVE both the records you sent them, too. Such a rabbit hole -- he's been on over a hundred recordings by now, and been a major contributor to the tunes most every guest appearance.
@@michelemichele3375 Paul Motian's album Triosim - first tune (which is "It Should Have Happened A Long Time Ago" -- but not to be confused with the version on another album, for which it's the title track!) is one of the finest examples of group improv I have ever heard. And it sends us into dreamland within a few notes.... absolutely magic. And the verisn of "Yallah" on Paul Motian's "Live at the Vanguard".... though that's a least a little bit of step more experimental and maybe less accessible, and longer.... still, I think they'd trip hard on that one.
@@wagstaff6135 Oh my Dog, wag! I will get back to you with thoughts about your recommendations and info. A dear friend of mine used to play Frisell for me but I never researched all the branches of his rabbit hole. I’m so far down it right now, I’ve run into Alice! Lol. (That reminds me of Tom Waits doing “Alice.” Don’t know how many here would be fans, though. My tastes vary immensely. Haha). But thank you so much. And I’m thinking Bill may not rate here, but I’ve found that I’m really doing all this for myself and my own knowledge and enjoyment. Plus, it’s been a great distraction during difficult times. That’s the payoff really. So thank you! ✨🤪
He is one of my all time favorite musicians! i have listened to this album since it came out and it always moves me..also his album street dreams is great as well as his trio album fictionary..great to see you react to him...you guys are special indeed,all my best Kent.
Actually this entire album is a bonifide masterpiece from start to finish. My absolute favorite. I've been hooked on this LP since it's release in the 80's.
Yes, "what is this?" (around the 7 minute mark) is a great question. Mays takes us places, shows us sights, and evokes feelings that are difficult to impossible to name. It's the rare Lyle Mays offering that does not trigger tears for me at some point. It's not sadness: it's more the experience of finding myself in profoundly moving emotional/psychological terrain with no words to talk about the experience. Haven't listened to Teiko in many, many years. Thanks for the reminder.
Thank you guys for giving attention to Lyle Mays. If you were to force me to have just one album on a desert island, this is it. Lyle's self titled album. I hope you give yourselves the opportunity to listen to the whole thing. My two favs are, Mirror of the Heart and Close to Home. Thanks again. You're doing good!
One of my favorite tracks from the late GREAT Lyle Mays. New Sub because Pat and Lyle are two of my favorite all time musicians...!! Peace
This song has some great doubling between the soprano sax and Bill Frisell. Also Nana Vasconcelos percussion is very subtle yet important here. Nana plays on some of the earlier Pat Metheny albums so you may recognize him from there. He is really pronounced on the Pat & Lyle album As Falls Witchita .... You might want to check out Bill Frisell separately. His catalog is massive and his compositions are very varied. One of my favorite modern jazz composers.
When you said "what is this?" It was soprano sax and guitar doubling so smoothly
I was fortunate to see Lyle play some of these songs live but also acoustic trio stuff too. Great improviser live!
After this, I'm ready to hear the whole album. I appreciated your reference to the Mozart Effect, by the way.
Great comment. The Mozart effect may also include better focus and performance before taking a test. Thanks, Eric. ✨🤪
As falls Wichita so falls Wichita Falls with Pat Metheny is an amazing trip, reminds me of that, first time listening with 17 , totally flashed. Later saw them live together on the Secret Story Tour with Brazilian musicians, unforgetable!
This whole album is chills central. So happy for you to discover this.
Ya’ll need to listen to Close To Hone and Mirror of the Heart off the same CD … also Lyle’s final work Eberhard, before his passing … 👍❤️
Fantastic review and break down on the whole Lyle Mays track, he's made some brilliant music and was such an underrated player. He was the heart of PMG and he will be sorely missed. You should do a reaction video for his 'Street Dreams' 4 part suite, it will make both your jaws drop especially when you hear part 3. Keep up the good work, you're both awesome.
Guys, I think the low-frequency sound you heard at 4:35 was Nana Vasconcelos playing some kind of very low-pitched hand drum or talking drum. One of the dreamiest of Mays’ pieces, a most tasteful mix of Ethno Fusion Jazz and Psychedelia.
Hello b soul's 👋 music is for the mind body and spirit my friends....every time with the beautiful soul's 💝 thank you 👍it's a journey ✌
You know Pat Metheny was class mates with Steve Morse. You guys really need to hear the Dixie Dregs.
This is one of the greatest albums of all time. Each track has a very distinct character, and this track is one of the most unusual. I've been listening to it for decades, and I still think it's really strange! I'm really glad you liked it, but I think the first track on the album Highland Aire is much more representative of what Lyle was about overall.
Someone needs to introduce these guys to 'Supertramp'
Close to Home off the same album was often played with Pat Metheny, and has been covered by Earth Wind & Fire! Check it out............
Where in the world did that come from?
Splendid 🙂
Interesting you talk of dark streets. To me this sounded very flooded with light.
Oh yes... Thank you for this.....
Very much a bookend for my Pat Metheny collection.
Now maybe a little bit of
Weather Report.... Start with
Birdland ...
This piece reminds me of Black Market. Lyle must've derived some inspiration from that and perhaps some other WR works...
I still play this Vinyl
Oh that combination of instruments you couldn't finger it - Bill Frisell on guitar doubled by Billy Drewes on sax. Frisell is the master of the volume swell textural guitar sound.
Perfect music!
This whole album is great. But the last one, "Close To Home" gets me every time.
So Teiko translates to; "honest and correct" 貞子.
So its Japanese influenced :). That was very good (just added to "Chill Out Already .04" Lex ;), heard of him but never heard his music. Very serene and relaxing. I totally get what you envisioned about the environment of the streets and the films you related it to (I tried to do that in the middle of Chill Out Already .01 & .03 with the "street" themes/topics).
King Crimson - "Matte Kudasai" has a bit of that feeling too, but a bit more romantic because of the lyrics. You guys will have to check that one out.
You may also enjoy
Lyle Mays
" Street Dreams " 😁
Regarding music making you smarter, as a grad student in English, I was paid to read papers of college juniors from all departments across the university to determine if they had the writing skills to get their bachelors degrees. Far and away, the best papers ALWAYS came from the music department.
Oh, and there’s a fascinating story I tell in Mozart and Great Music about how Mozart helped to heal famous French actor Gerard Depardeau, and one special story about cellist Pablo Casals.
I love your channel, your my new faves! Have you heard of the UK prog legends Van Der Graaf Generator? Would love to see you react to the song PILGRIMS by them. ❤️🤘🏻
If you want to listen to classical music, Aaron Coplan was America's greatest composser. Try El Salon Mexico, Rodeo, or the 4th movement of the 3rd Symphany.
Beautiful. Made me envision aerial views of different people going about their lives in Japan. The ordinary made sacred....... Their emotions adding to the fabric of the universe.
BTW, we lost visionary trumpeter Jon Hassell a couple days ago. I humbly suggest his song "Last Night the Moon Came, Dropping it's Clothes in the Street....." a great lights out track. Transportational.
Just watched your reaction to Robin Tower and Too Rolling Stoned. Trower is one of the great, great underrated guitarists of all time. Bridge of Sighs is a must have in any record collection. It opens with Day of the Eagle, an absolute rocker. Very Hendrix-like. The whole album is filled with bluesy guitar riffs...truly amazing. I hope you give it more listening. There was a question somebody posed on Facebook once. It came with a picture of a huge wall of speakers and it said this is your new sound system, what is the first song you're going to play on it? My answer was Day of the Eagle by Robin Trower. You can also hear a sample of Trowers earlier guitar work on the song Conquistador by Procol Harum. The remastered version, not from the studio original recorded a couple years earlier. His solo in the middle is a sample of what was to come later when he struck out on his own.
As to what you spoke of in your intro, it's what I call "wig stretching". I love mind expanding music and art!
Love the China Town and Blade Runner references! Keep up the good work!
The "oriental" thing is apt. Give a listen to Steely Dan's "Aja" with this in mind.
The Ikon by Todd Rundgren's Utopia. An ABSOLUTE MUST! You will not be disappointed.
Hi again Nick & Lex. I sincerely hope a peaceful end to your recent personal challenges is in sight. At the moment I can't stop watching the Primuz Chamber Orchestra's performance of Alaskan Suite, and in my opinion this is something of unparalleled beauty. Given your appreciation of Teiko, I suspect you may also enjoy it. I would love to see what you guys think of it..
Awesome, awesome album. You can really see Mays influence on the band’s music.
Percussion and synth provide so much flavor to the genius musicianship. Thanks so much for this one, Matt. Great reaction. ✨🤪 Also, I ordered 2 Bill Frisell CD’s for you: “Quartet” and “Unspeakable.” If anyone wants to recommend another, I’m open to suggestions. I didn’t want to do his covers although I’m a fan of his take on the classic tune, “Rumble” by Link Wray. And I want his “out there” tracks but didn’t want to go too far one way or the other because he can be so varied. I love the track, “Blues for Los Angles” but not the whole album. And N & L, when you get these two, later this month, they’re from me (there was no gift receipt available with the Amazon order). Cheers! ✨🤪
Glad you and others here enjoyed this piece. The album works well as a whole, and is one of my all-time favorites. Also happy to hear so much recognition of Bill Frisell; there really is no one like him. He plays with remarkable restraint, and yet seems unafraid to go pretty much anywhere. I especially like his subtle pitch bends in the middle section of this piece--the tension it creates with the sax is such a sweet lonely sound.
I'm sure Nick and Lex will enjoy those CDs. I'd also recommend Frisell's "The Intercontinentals".
@@matttucker4042 Thank you so much. For this track and your reply. And the enormous rabbit hole I enjoyed yesterday chasing down some incredible musicians, including Bill Frisell. I had a dear friend who used to play Bill’s CDs for me but I never did enough research to see what tracks or albums to go with ... they are so varied! While I love his covers of “Pipeline” and “Rumble,” I wanted to send N&L his more experimental sounding works. Well, I may have failed in that mission, I’m afraid. BUT, I realized that the real reason behind the search was for my own knowledge and enjoyment. Mission accomplished there! So, whether or not the 2 CDs portray my intentions, it still paid off handsomely. So thank you and others on this channel for expanding my understanding and love for music. I’m a person with a wide variety of tastes and I’m open to ever more. Love it. That was a fun & tasty rabbit hole. I’ll check out your kind recommendation also. ✨🤪
@@michelemichele3375 Thank you for YOUR kind reply. Sounds like a fun rabbit hole. 🤠
Gosh, there's so much I want to recommend. You've explored some nice pieces by Metheny lately, but most are later work and haven't featured Mays (I think). Maybe dig back a little further to early Pat Metheny Group tracks like "San Lorenzo," "Phase Dance," "Jaco," "April Wind" and "April Joy," American Garage"; the stuff Metheny/Mays did on the album As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls, including the title track (very long), "It's for You," "Ozark," and "September 15th"; and, for Lyle Mays, selections from his solo album Street Dreams, including "Feet First," "Corinho," "Possible Straight," and "Hang Time." Mays also did a terrific, more traditional jazz album called Fictionary (with Jack DeJohnette on drums and Marc Johnson on bass) that is full of engaging music for aficionados. Of the suggestions I've listed, I guess I'd love to hear you start with "Phase Dance," but it's all up to you.
I enjoyed enjoying it with two people that really appeared to get it at first listen. Took me a couple of listens before it really took. My only qualm is that Lyle didn't extend the middle section by a few more minutes. That part from 2:15 to 5:30 absolutely sends me into raptures. Lyle's work has been described by some as "atmospheric", and that perfectly describes "Teiko". No sing-along song, or very few anyway has this quality. I may be a PMG fan (Till Lyle's tragic passing I still had hopes for something remotely close to "The Way Up" to materialise , but sadly, this is no longer possible), but this disc stands proudly atop the rest...
Time for some prog, so "Take A Pebble".
the record company should actually pay you for these. This music will be forgotten, it doesnt show up on the big spotify playlists, is never on tv.. I think its ECM in Germany.
Alec Acuna on percussion from Peru
Next,
Eberhard Weber
The morning after...
And I’m now subscribed.
This álbum reemeber so mi yo the soundtrack of The big blue by Eric Serra
Definitely hear some Weather Report in this track.
6:27 drummer setting the scene....
Listen Infinite Fire or Open Up Your Eyes by FLYING COLORS.
I'm hearing a strong Weather Report influence here, near the end.
The drummer on this album played with Weather Report!
Haken- Visions
always from the same album I recommend Ascent
Yes, Ascent is phenomenal.
I thought from the intro, that the title referred to the large Japanese ceremonial drum, but that is spelled Taiko. That sound you were referring to sounds like a "talking drum" played by Nana Vasconcelos. The pitch raises as you press on the sides of the drum as you hit it. Here's a demo : ua-cam.com/video/rjYY8QeOS-8/v-deo.html
He also plays one on the Metheny/Mays album "As Wichita Falls, So Falls Wichita Falls". You could hear a bit of Bill Frisell on guitar on this, but not much.
Checkout the Japanese Taiko group "Kodo", interesting _culture_ behind the group as well.
Thanks for the comment. I’m asking what Bill Frisell album you would recommend. I’ve ordered “Quartet” for them just for the improvisation sound. But I’d love another recommendation. Thanks. ✨🤪
And I ordered Bill Frisell’s “Unspeakable” too. Thanks ✨🤪
@@michelemichele3375 I'm not a good source of recent Bill Frisell information. I followed him from the mid 80's, when he played guitar and guitar synth in jazz drummer Paul Motian's group ( see "Fiasco" from the 1985 album "It Should Have Happened Long Ago"- on Spotify) until the early 90's, but nothing since then. If Nick didn't like David Torn much, he probably wouldn't like that either, or the selections from Frisell's solo albums such as "Is That You" where he breaks out the distortion pedal, which Nick doesn't like. One song I like that both Bill Frisell and John Scofield play on is "Samarai Hee-Haw" from the 1985 (bassist) Marc Johnson album "Bass Desires". Check it out on Spotify. It is kind of funny in that it sounds both country and Japanese at the same time. I'm not at all up on Frisell's newer stuff, though I've been meaning to get around to listening to the album he did with Elvin Jones and Dave Holland in 2001 ("Strange Meeting"), and that's not new at all.
@@-R.Gray- You are so kind to reply with so much info. Thank you. I might get back with more responses to your recommendations but (like I just told another subscriber) I’m so deep in his rabbit hole right now, I won’t be surprised to run into Alice! And I agree. Bill might not be their cuppa here but I’ve found that I’m mostly doing this for me. And my knowledge. So thanks so much! ✨🤪
React to Máneskin, please!
A question do You have a problema with themusicians or bands from Chile my country? I asked two bands from my country a long time ago
One is the band los Jaivas el tema es Tarca y Ocarina la otra es Electrodomésticos canción el frío misterio many thanks
Try buy me a coffe-support. I think due to the large number of requests/suggestions, they hardly can do free requests.
Como diría Lisa Simpson, puedo ver la música...
4:26 the build up........
Couldn’t listen thru the whole thing 😬
You have done NOTHING on HEINO!
