14. februar 2020
Pianisten og komponisten Lyle Mays, der blandt meget andet er kendt for sit virke i Pat Methenys gruppe, døde d. 10. februar. Joni Mitchell giver ham følgende ord med fra sin hjemmeside:
“Lyle Mays passed away this morning in Los Angeles. Lyle was an integral part of Joni’s 1979 tour with Pat Metheny, Jaco, Michael Brecker, and Don Alias. He and Pat’s hauntingly beautiful transition between Amelia and Hejira stands as one of the enduring highlights of the tour. Lyle was a founding member of the Pat Metheny Group, providing arrangements, orchestration, and the harmonic and metric backbone of the group’s musical signature. “
