Stella By Starlight - More Lyle Mays In Memorium

Here is another tribute to Lyle Mays, as with a recent Sunday (    • Lyle Mays   ). As background first, I have been spending a number of weeks transcribing and learning to play his opening to Stella By Starlight that apparently started a trio concert in Buenos Aires in 1992. There is a link to that amazing performance here (    • Lyle Mays - 05 - Stella By Starlight   ). Part of what is so remarkable about Lyle's rendition is how rare it is. We just don't have a lot of recordings of him doing standard jazz repertoire, and when we do it is amazing. And while I don’t feel comfortable posting my own rendition of his improv (yet, if ever), it has sparked a lot of ideas about how I want to play the tune myself. Which leads to today’s post, which is my own improv on Stella By Starlight - after a day off yesterday to finish learning Lyle's opening and use it as musical input for this post, so to speak. You may or may not feel a simpatico between Lyle’s own performance and this one, but I hope they both give you something good to chew on and digest. “Earfood”, as Roy Hargrove used to say. (He will be an upcoming subject soon.) A quick note, the final image today is from my keyboard setup when I was doing Lyle’s role in a Pat Metheny Group tribute band, Still Life Talking. Maybe more on that soon as well. Meantime, dude, rest in peace, you are missed.
