"February 10" Tribute to Lyle Mays composed by Jim Baugh

 

I have been a hugh Lyle Mays fan all of my adult life. This composition is not meant to sound like him, but to honor him.

September 15th was always a fav of mine from Metheny / Mays. Loved how their tribute to Bill Evans, was nothing that really sounded like Bill Evans. It was a tribute from them in their own style. So, one day it clicked, I should try and do the same for Lyle. I am that big a fan.

Should you not be aware of Lyle Mays, check out his 30yr colaboration and writing parter with Pat Metheny or any of Lyles solo works. RIP Lyle Mays.

Anyway, like it or not, here it is my tribute.. Was an enjoyable 4 months of composing, and finally recording..

Now for the next one!

Godspeed,

Jim Baugh

That's a tour de force of playing Jim. Excellent technique, lots of mood shifts, great mix of melody and rhythm, and very dynamic while remaining so precise!

If you have a YouTube version I'd like to nominate you for our @SharedSecrets playlists.

Matt Young * New Zealand

You are a hell of a player Jim, wow!. That’s was quite a treat. Thankyou! 

Andy Dolphin * UK

Fabulous. Great technique and dynamic range. What piano voice is it? Master keyboard running through a PC? Sounds metallic as opposed to woody. Sounds nice

Rami Laine * Helsinki

Amazing skills, loved the lower velocity notes and the ending, not necessarily that much the louder parts. But I could really just look at that playing. Very nice!

Bill White * South Austrailia

This is immense! I love this. Great work:)

I had been wanting to film the Milky Way over Cedar Island in July for quite some time. Well, with the folks at the Wachapreague Inn agreeing to host JBOTV for a shoot, and excellent clear sky forecast, and all gear ready and willing, plue a new drone that could get out to Cedar Island easily, this shoot was a go!! A perfect night. All gear worked flawless, light wind, and the sky was endless.

The exposure here was two images totalling 20 minutes of exposure. The Milky Way came out so clean, there was very little to do in post proccessing.The foreground is Cedar Island filmed at 400ft agl from a 48megapixel drone camera.

She takes GREAT images!
