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.
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 ❤
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.....
Music study,open chord progression for "JAZZ",INDIANA U.S.A. JAN2023- as a 60's child fusion music is far out hip kool!Way Groovy!A Blast!Awsome!Totaly Raw!Jump'n!Crazy Man!
pat sounds okay(I prefer his tone w/o the overuse of delay&chorus), but WOW, lyle mays sounds insanely good in this. it's probably one of the best solos i've ever heard.
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.
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.
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.
@@DanielBarberMusic I think you can do it, man! Have you transcribed much before? When I was in school 20 years ago, we would've killed to have UA-cam with every tune available to listen to over and over AND the ability to slow the speed down to 0.5x! That's a major advantage now! Insane to think we were using CDs back then.... not all CD players even had the ability to seek/skip around intra-track. However, having to do things the hard way has its benefits too! Start with the rhythm, a phrase at a time, would be my suggestion. It's totally do-able, and you can do it! Looking forward to seeing you post a video of it someday 😊
Of course...you may have been using tape or LPs... Some of my professors actually still used LPs to play musical examples in class! This was the late 90s/early 00s! During my tenure in undergrad, computers entered the picture for real. Crazy to witness that change, isn't it? Cheers my friend. Good luck with your musical journey, all the best!
@@DanielBarberMusic I had a feeling...just one of those things, ya know? 😊 2 years ago the world was a bit different -- not the last of which, we lost Lyle. How has it been treating YOU my friend?
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.
Opening piano is fantastic. Don't kow who it is though. As for Metheny, call me a purist (and as a jazz musician perhaps I am!) but he always sounds to me like a jazz guitarist going to a Halloween party as a rock star. Methane is a truly great jazz guitarist - and his lines here, after mentally filtering his sound , are captivating. But his sound kills it for me. It's almost as if he's terrified that the only thing holding his audience is this mask he hides behind. I genuinely, truly believe that if he lived on a planet where people actually listened to, apprecuated and understood jazz, he'd drop the gimmicks and simply play.
+jpcannavo Yeah, I tend to agree, the opening keys were fantastic, breathtaking in fact, perhaps so much so Pat decided to answer with avant garde; perhaps a little too avant garde. I see what he is going for with the whole out-there approach; however, I tend to think he did lose the plot a little, he does actually do a great version of this tune with just bass and drums.
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 😀
Lovely Lyle never looks at the keyboard. eyes closed. everything by feel and soul. True genius. R.IP Lyle

Lyle is really amazing here. I can't count how many times I've listened to this solo.
This is literally Oscar Peterson level piano playing. Pat's at a whole other level too. Great stuff❤
One of the most amazings piano solos I ever seen. My favorite All the thing you are piano solo. Lyle mays, star!!!

Absolutely right, Kathleen.
Lyle Mays in the zone!
I once caught Lyle Mays with Stanely Jordan playing How Insensitive...on accordian. It was incredible.
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.

A truly awesome rendition of this most popular jazz standard!
I'm astonished never seen a so creative energetic technical soulfull and beautifull all the things you are

This is not the first time I hear Pat playing a jazz cover, but he truly has a really recognizable sound
Great musicians.
Lyle is a genius! i don't know why people don't recognize him.

This is soooo amazingly beautiful and cool and inspiring! Love the PMG
Listen to this awesome pianist. Undoubtely, Pat Metheny can choose his musicians.
I never had a doubt that Lyle Mays plays traditional jazz but never listened it before.
ESTA VERSION ES LA QUE MAS ME GUSTA , GRACIAS POR SUBIRLO
Thanks for the post! I've never heard Lyle play straight Bop on a standard. Freakin Killin'. No wonder PM keeps him around!!
pat sounds okay(I prefer his tone w/o the overuse of delay&chorus), but WOW, lyle mays sounds insanely good in this. it's probably one of the best solos i've ever heard.
Very very genius!!!
I would sell my soul to be able to play like that
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.
Excellent. Version!
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!
Fantastic!!!

Incroyable !
Fabulous performance!
1:57, that little bluesiness, there…😌👌
super impresionant !!!! increible solo de piano, insuperable !!!
So good wish I was there at that time..
Awesome!!
If ever a solo is transcribed for future students, it should be this one by Lyle Mays.
I'd love to give this a go. Would be amazing to learn how he thinks, would be a lifelong dream come true.

Que buena presentacion, definitivamente Lyle ha sido el motor de Pat Metheny Group
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...
Holy shit do i play that instrument , i don't think that will ever come outta my guitar WTF?Is he communicating with Dolphins or what ?
incredible.
Wowza !!!
Genius...just pure genius.
what can i say... simply superb!!! i wish i were half good as they are...

How can you even play after that piano solo? lolz
I know. I was thinking the same thing. After that everyone should just walk off the stage in reverence.
It helps if you're Pat Metheny

They went right into Yes! covers after this...
Genius...fantastici
Woww this great ol standard has always been a fave but until now I didnt know Pat and Lyle did it!!!😅
Right between the eyes!!
love me some good jazz.. this is what the promoter said to to mister metheny"hey pat can you play autumn leaves really fast?"
Fantástico...
Bad boys. Feelin it
