"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.

Anyway, like it or not, here it is. Was enjoyable to play and record.

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.

Lyle would be proud


Ray Cochrane * Austrailia

Very nice. It may be me but the mids are a bit bright.


Christopher Ward

Awesome, Thanks!


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:)
