A great performance from Lyle Mays and his band. The Pat Metheny Group's keyboardist playing with a fabulous Sextet including one of my favorite sax players Joe Lovano. Everyone who follows Pat Metheny has a good idea how this group may sound. Though this Sextet doesn't use the exact same tone and timbre of The Pat Metheny Group, Lyle May's talent in such musical areas are clearly on display. The solo piano in "Mars" is example enough of Lyle's talents.

I just got this show a few weeks ago and it is the reason I reposted 2 other Lyle Mays boots. An FM broadcast from the Lyle Mays Quartet's 1992 Umeå Jazzfestival appearance. The other is the Power Station Demos for Lyle Mays 1st album. Sorry today's Jazz On Sunday is just from a single artist. Lucky for all it's someone as talented as the late Lyle Mays

Lyle Mays passed away February 10, 2020 after a long illness, he was 66. So for our Jazz offerings this round of uploads, we have the 1986 Demos from the making of Lyle's eponymously titled first solo album. For those who may not know, Lyle Mays was the keyboardist co-founder of The Pat Metheny Group. Lyle co-wrote with Pat Metheny on almost all of their recorded output. It was the playing of Bill Evans, Chick Corea & Herbie Hancock that inspired the keyboard legend to play Jazz. By 14 years old Lyle was playing organ at his church. In his lifetime Lyle was nominated for 23 Grammys, he won 10. These demos sound pretty damn good and are a great look at the making of a fabulous album.

From the Retirement Sucks Tour, Geezer still in the line-up but would leave again. Dean Castronovo would also split. I always love hearing Ozzy songs with Geezer on bass. Bob Daisley writes some good stuff no denying, but I am sorry I love Geezer's playing that much more. He plays around with the riff on anything he plays. He doesn't seem to change Bob's riffs much. I like Dean Castronovo's druming too. His playing on Ozmosis is great but his playing on Geezer's G//Z/R debut Plastic Planet that really impressed me.

G//Z/R was an Industrial Death Metal band that also featured Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory on vocals. I saw them play live on a very short promo tour. When they started playing their first song plaster fell from the theater's ceiling. A mosh pit broke out then parted as a stage diver was in mid air. He got up after landing on my friend who was drunk and passed out in the pit. Me and another from our group picked up our buddy and put him in the car for safe keeping then quickly heading back in. After the show I stopped at the merch table to buy a shirt. Behind the table was Geezer's wife, sitting next to her was Geezer. I asked for an autograph and he gave it, then handed me a clip board and says "Now gimme your's". It was the mailing list, so I signed up. Every month for 2 years I received a hand written note from Mrs. Butler and a sheet detailing what was going on with Geezer's solo project. When Burton C. Bell left to go back to Fear Factory the fan club got a request for demo tapes for auditions to replace Bell. I sent mine because hey why not? I received a hand written letter from Geezer thanking me for my submission but....he was going with Clark Brown. I don't care I got a hand written rejection letter from Geezer....Other musicians understand lol!!!

Man, I love this band! One of those "should have been bigger" bands. One of the best actually. To think of melding the Southern Rock swagger of Lynyrd Skynyrd with the Hard Rock/Pop sensibility of Grand Funk Railroad. I have a show where the band performs fabulous versions of Skynyrd's "On The Hunt" and Grand Funk's "Walk Like A Man". Okay I already hear the questions "will you post that show?" Sure I'll post it soon within the next few days. Rosebud and I both have been enjoying this Milwaukee Summerfest recording lately so it is being posted first. Truthfully I actually thought I had already posted the other. We do have a few other Cry Of Love shows posted on the blog here for your enjoyment and all the links should be live.

Alright now to freak everyone out a little bit I will be posting a show from someone there might have been doubts that I would like. To surprise some, I grew up in Detroit so I like a lot of Soul, R & B, and Funk. Growing up in the 1970s, when you learned what music to play when the lights went off, Barry White was quick to mind. Right there with Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass et al. Barry White was required Mood Music. I was a teen in the early 1980s so a lot of my girlfriends would put on Air Supply as "kissing music". If you put on some Marvin, Teddy P. or Barry White you might get all the way to....second base, come on we were kids then, LOL!!

OK now this is kind of a rarity, an FM broadcast from Paul Carrack's first recording outfit Ace. Ace of course had a pretty big hit with the Paul Carrack written and sung "How Long". The song hit #3 in The USA, #3 in Canada and #20 in The UK. The song is still played by Paul on his solo tours. The song is also still in play on the so called "Classic Rock" radio stations. Their second and last charting single was 1975's "Time For Another" hit #71 in The USA failing to chart any where else. The band folded in 1977. Paul Carrack, Terry Comer and Fran Byrne spent some time with Frankie Miller's band. Paul Carrack also spent some time in Roxy Music before moving on to Squeeze. While in Squeeze, Carrack sang lead vocal on the bands single "Tempted" which hit Billboards Mainstream Rock Charts at #8. The bands biggest USA hit single. Paul of course went on to sing for Mike Rutherford's Mike & The Mechanics, where the hits continued. Paul Carrack still enjoys a successful solo career playing all those hits and more.
