When Lyle Mays passed away on February 10, 2020 at the age of 66, Ken and his friend, long time bandmate keyboardist Jay Rowe, both immediately knew they needed to pay tribute to this great musician who had influenced them both deeply for over 4 decades. Through his own music and recordings along with his contributions to the compositions, recordings and performances of The Pat Metheny Group, Lyle changed Ken's musical life and direction more than once. Included are excerpts from "San Lorenzo”, "First Circle", "Lakes", "Ozark" and "Minuano".
