- QuestionHello from across the pond. I recently purchased the three available boxed sets. Needless to say I am beyond thrilled. Perhaps this information may only come from Mr. Nelson. I am curious and hopeful there will be a similar Axe Victim release. Thanking any and all in advance, Jake
- Discussionby Robert Jablon | AP Feb. 11, 2020 at 12:27 a.m. CST LOS ANGELES — Lyle Mays, a jazz keyboardist whose work, chiefly with the Pat Metheny Group, won nearly a dozen Grammy Awards, died Monday in Los Angeles, it was announced. He was 66. Mays had a “long battle with a recurring illness,” according to Pat Metheny’s website. “Lyle was one of the greatest musicians I have ever known,” Metheny wrote. “Across more than 30 years, every moment we shared in music was special. From the first notes we played together, we had an immediate bond. His broad intelligence and musical wisdom informed every aspect of who he was in every way. I will miss him with all my heart.” “Lyle was a brilliant musician and person, and a genius in every sense of the word,” said a statement from his niece, Aubrey Johnson. “He was my dear uncle, mentor, and friend and words cannot express the depth of my grief.” Born in Wausaukee, Wisconsin, Mays’ mother and father played piano and guitar and he played organ as a youngster. He joined the guitarist group Metheny in the 1970s, where he was a performer, composer and arranger. The group’s endlessly innovative fusion style incorporated everything from rock and contemporary jazz to world music. more: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/noted-jazz-keyboardist-lyle-mays-dies-at-66/2020/02/11/896ce19e-4c97-11ea-967b-e074d302c7d4_story.html .
Such a shame....a band I really liked back in the day.
'Ignore Them' is a great track (B-side to 'I Might Be Lying' 7" single)...and by far the better track..
...and, who can forget this single from 1977, an absolute classic!!...timeless, still relevant and still sounds great!
Gonna break out of the city Leave the people here behind Searching for adventure It's the type of life to find Tired of doing day jobs With no thanks for what I do I'm sure I must be someone Now I'm gonna find out who
Why don't you ask them what they expect from you? Why don't you tell them what you are gonna do? You'll get so lonely, maybe it's better that way It ain't you only, you got something to say Do anything you wanna do Do anything you wanna do
Don't need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn't be Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see No one tells you nothing even when you know they know But they tell you what you should do They don't like to see you grow
