Lyle Mays - Street Dreams

El magnífico pianista Lyle Mays (mano derecha de Pat Metheny en el Pat Metheny Group) en su segundo disco, Street Dreams, introduce arreglos orquestales en Feet First y Possible Straight, añade sobregrabaciones de piano en la bella Chorinho, presenta un dúo junto al guitarrista Bill Frisell en Newborn, y toca tremendos solos en la sugerente Before You Go y en la segunda parte de la atractiva suite Street Dreams.
También se distingue el contrabajista Marc Johnson, otrora acompañante de una influencia primaria para Mays, el prestigioso pianista Bill Evans.****
