September 15th (Lyle Mays / Pat Metheny) transcribed & performed by Uwe Karcher

This is a very special tune for me. I bought the Metheny / Mays „Wichita" Album in 1981 at the tender age of 17 ☺, and it blew me away (and still does). Particulary „September 15th" (which is dedicated to Bill Evans and mainly composed by Lyle Mays) fascinated me from the very first moment on. I decided to transcribe it and to arrange it for Solo Piano. It was quite a challenge to combine Pat´s guitar parts with Lyle´s piano parts (especially in the first half of the tune), but I´m pretty happy with the result. Now, 30 years later, it´s great to have the opportunity to share this on YouTube with you guys. Hope you enjoy!

BTW, I transcribe a lot (mostly unpublished piano solo tunes played by Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Lyle Mays - just to mention a few). So if you like this video, stay tuned - there will be more to come in the future ☺

Check out the Pat Metheny / Lyle Mays album "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls" (in case you don´t know it yet). Furthermore I´d like to recommend any album of the "Pat Metheny Group" and Lyle Mays´ Solo works.
