very generously, lyle mays has a bootlegs page on his website, so a tip o’ the hat to the bold lyle mays! (he also has a store, just saying) that page includes this show, but this version is from an fm broadcast, not mr. mays website. it’s a great recording of a super pianist, but (as often) i enjoy having more than just piano-bass-drums. and this show also featured tiger okoshi, billy drewes and joe lovano, so i get my wishes — and how! maybe that’s why this is my favorite of the three shows with tiger okoshi up here, counting this one. i could go on, but will stop here!
