Lyle Mays (1953-2020) – R.I.P.

Lyle Mays left us on February 10, 2020. He was a true magician of the keys and a very honest artist. He shunned empty musical acrobatics. A piano virtuoso, Lyle Mays avoided exploiting his technique, opting instead for meaningful storytelling. A real genius.

Rest in peace. /LJL

    Ho scoperto da poco questo blog, purtroppo per la commemorazione del grande Lyle Mays,
    ti faccio i miei complimenti per questo lavoro fantastico che stai facendo.
    E uno scrigno delle meraviglie per tutti gli appassionati di questo genere.
    concerti sentiti e concerti sognati……
    Grazie di cuore.
