39. Lyle Mays at the Gilmore Festival in Kalamazoo MI

Jan 2023

… with Paul McCandless on sax and reeds, Steve Rodby (of Pat Metheny Group) on bass, Lyle’s niece (of WMU’s Gold Company) providing vocals and I forget on drums. They played together several years ago on this one occasion, the only time these artists all performed together as far as I know. (Well, they did 2 shows that afternoon; I saw the first one.) It was a beautiful, incredibly moving show.

I would treasure the opportunity to relive that event. Of course, it will never happen again, as Lyle passed about 4 years ago.
