- Each set has had some extensive work done on it by ledwhofloyd to make it so listenable. The notes about this work is included in each set's folder. The set folders have been left as torrented on Dime, no changes at all.

It's a bright Autumn Sunday morning here in Michigan. There is a nice breeze helping the trees shed their leaves. I thought "It's a great morning for The Pat Metheny Group". So I turned on the early show from this set. Ate 2 sativa gummies while making my coffee (gotta love legal recreational marijuana). Made myself a large mug of coffee and set about getting Rosebud ready for her work day. I made her a travel mug of coffee then packed a lunch and snack for her breaks. I baked a homemade chicken pot pie for dinner last night, so I packed her a slice.

When she came downstairs she heard the Pat Metheny show and asked "You posting this?" to which I asked "should I?" she replied "Absolutely!" so this is a Rosebud approved Jazz On Sunday Morning offering. We both hope you enjoy it on your Sunday.

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.

This early career broadcast from The Pat Metheny Group is a little "bright" sounding but very enjoyable. It's had the "Goody Treatment" (remastering) but I turn the treble down a little when listening to this recording. Don't be discouraged by that comment, it's a "little bright" but not "brittle" or "tinny" sounding. It's not too thin that you don't hear the bass either. It's a nice listen. Pat Metheny collectors need this show if not for the way the band tacks Keith Jarrett's "The Wind Up" at the end of "Unity Village". It is the usual stellar performance we all come to love from the Pat Metheny Group.

OK, Rosebud had to work today, the leaves are changing color in my backyard, and it's raining. I needed something bright on this grey morning. So I picked this Pat Metheny Group show to start my Sunday Morning Jazz time. The combination of Pat's guitar tone and the keyboard sound of Lyle Mays do paint a bright picture in the mind. For Me the music they create always has a calming uplifting effect like lying on a grassy knoll in the sunshine on a warm summer morning. A light breeze makes the leaves dance, birds sing and you have not a care in the world....Enjoy Your Sunday My Friends!!!!

Alright let first say do not be afraid to download this one because of the tracks with cuts. This is a nice sounding recording and a great performance, and the cuts offer minimal annoyance. This humble listener really enjoyed this boot and I am listening to it again right now.

This is one of the many shows recorded for The Road To You, the Pat Metheny Group's 1993 live album. I have no idea what songs were used from each date and could find no info. This is a great sounding recording from a fabulous concert. The band is playing at peak performance. At the beginning of the show Pat assures the audience they will hear the songs they want to hear because they plan on playing a long time. The band then proves Pat to have understated it, this show is two and a half hours long! The audience definitely get their money's worth and more. So all my Pat Metheny fan friends, sit back with a nice glass of wine, turn the stereo to a nice volume and enjoy!
