Pat Metheny's full statement: "Lyle was one of the greatest musicians I have ever known. Across more than 30 years, every moment we shared in music was special. From the first notes we played together, we had an immediate bond. His broad intelligence and musical wisdom informed every aspect of who he was in every way. I will miss him with all my heart."

Lyle Mays, 66, Pat Metheny Group Keyboardist, Is Dead
His synthesizers gave depth and color to the ensemble's sound. He soloed gracefully on grand piano. And he helped write many staples of the group's repertoire.

You can often judge the skill of a musician by the level of respect given to them by their peers, and it's clear that Lyle Mays, who died earlier this week, was held in very high regard indeed.

Er galt als ewiger Komplize des Gitarristen Pat Metheny und schien bloss zuständig für das Soundbett, aus dem sich der Meister erheben konnte. Dabei war seine Rolle eigentlich viel grösser.
