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.

Thank you. At least someone who doesn't do silly hair-jokes.

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.

the Genius of Lyle Mays.

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.

oh Lyle you left us way too young.

pat and the pianist never solo at the same time... Theyre the same person!!!

A truly awesome rendition of this most popular jazz standard!

I once caught Lyle Mays with Stanely Jordan playing How Insensitive...on accordian. It was incredible.

I'm astonished never seen a so creative energetic technical soulfull and beautifull all the things you are

stunning pianoplayer......blasts you away !

Great musicians.

absolutely BEAUTIFUL keyboard playing at the beginning. goddamn that guy shreds

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.

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 ❤

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

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.

Yep... Lyle's solo is the best I ever heard on that tune. Any instrument. Prodigy...

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.

Absolutely right, Kathleen.

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.

Lyle Mays - your piano is absolutely AMAZING! Genius! Thank you for posting.

pat is incomparable musician cheers!!

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.

Whoooooa! Lyle! Man o man!

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.

Lyle Mays a great Musician! Pat very good too!

Jesus and damn, Lyle Mays!!

ESTA VERSION ES LA QUE MAS ME GUSTA , GRACIAS POR SUBIRLO

Great pianist!!!!!!!!!!

Wowza !!!

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.....

I would sell my soul to be able to play like that

Fantastic!!!

This is not the first time I hear Pat playing a jazz cover, but he truly has a really recognizable sound

Lyle is a genius! i don't know why people don't recognize him.

Incroyable !

Nunca te olvidaremos Lyle

Woww this great ol standard has always been a fave but until now I didnt know Pat and Lyle did it!!!😅

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 😀

Increedible Lyle Mays!

Excellent. Version!

Thanks for the post! I've never heard Lyle play straight Bop on a standard. Freakin Killin'. No wonder PM keeps him around!!

Very very genius!!!

Just amazing.

Genius...just pure genius.

Fascinating! Lyle Mays solo is a marvel, Pat's is astonishing...

Fantástico...

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.

Bad boys. Feelin it

love the energy behind everyone's playing.
