Mays, Lyle Eberhard LP Vinyl

From the Lyle Mays Estate comes a thirteen-minute "mini symphony" entitled Eberhard-a composition completed by Mays in 2009 and recorded in the months before his passing on Feb 10, 2020 with a large ensemble, including notable jazz names Bob Sheppard, Alex Acu±a, & Bill Frisell. While Eberhard is a posthumous release, Mays was engaged in it's creation from beginning to end-serving as composer, arranger, performer (piano, keyboards, and synthesizers), and producer, and was actively involved in all recording and mixing sessions. Eberhard is a long-form, multi-section work that is Lyle's self-professed dedication to the great German bass player and composer Eberhard Weber, an influence that loomed large on Mays and his long-time collaborator Pat Metheny in the forming of their 11-time Grammy-Award winning Pat Metheny Group.
