Jazz Appreciation Month: Music by Lyle Mays & Mitch Towne | Behind the Score Ep. 64
Added 2025-04-18 02:35:41 +0000 UTCIn this month's episode, I'm taking a deep dive into two jazz compositions written by talented keyboardists. Lyle Mays' music is widely known and appreciated...and rightfully so. Mitch Towne is still a bit under the radar but has decades of stellar work on his resume...and he's a good friend of mine.
I'm analyzing and taking you through BILL EVANS by Lyle Mays and SOME WORK OF NOBLE NOTE, MAY YET BE DONE by Mitch Towne. I hope you enjoy!

Doug - would you be able to share the table of contents for the Lyle book with us? It will inform future recommendation requests.
