Tim Ray Trio: Windows

Read "Windows" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

The Tim Ray Trio supplied the spirited accompaniment on Kindred Spirits (Whaling City Sound, 2016), behind saxophonists Greg Abate and the legendary Phil Woods. But they got the chance to step out--sax men taking a break--with a peppery take on Kurt Weill's classic “Speak Low," which serves as a preview of sorts for the Tim Ray ...

Lyle Mays Quartet: The Ludwigsburg Concert

Read "The Ludwigsburg Concert" reviewed by Mario Calvitti

by Mario Calvitti

Conosciuto principalmente come cofondatore del Pat Metheny Group, alter ego e spalla del ben più noto chitarrista, il tastierista Lyle Mays è sempre rimasto un po' in ombra rispetto al partner, complice anche un carattere decisamente schivo e riservato che ne ha spesso limitato le uscite pubbliche. Anche le sue apparizioni discografiche al di fuori del ...

Lyle Mays Quartet: The Ludwigsburg Concert

Read "The Ludwigsburg Concert" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki

by Chris M. Slawecki

Intentionally or not, keyboardist Lyle Mays seems to maintain a public profile that's lower than low. His most famous engagement is his tenure in a group named for someone else (The Pat Metheny Group), and The Ludwigsburg Concert is only his sixth solo release since his eponymous solo debut for Warner Bros. Jazz in 1985, and ...
