Description
Offbeat proudly presents a rare double-bill capturing the brilliance of jazz legend Lyle Mays, live and in his element.
Journey back to two unforgettable performances--starting in an intimate Atlanta club in 1981 and culminating in a stunning set from Massachusetts in 1982. Separate from his acclaimed work with the Pat Metheny Group, these broadcasts showcase Mays stepping into the spotlight with masterful control.
The Atlanta show, originally aired on College Network Radio, finds Mays blending jazz standards with his own original compositions--"Fictionary," "Stella by Starlight," and "Nardis" shimmer with his signature touch. Fast forward to the 1982 performance at the Willow Jazz Club, broadcast on WERS FM, and you're immersed in a rich sonic landscape where intricate harmonies and lyrical melodies intertwine.
Newly remastered and presented together for the first time, this double bill captures Lyle Mays at his most intimate, inventive, and inspired. A must-have for jazz aficionados and collectors alike.
