words barely do justice to the significance of the forty years
plus of recording and performing which roy ayers has bestowed on
us. from the day in 1945 when lionel hampton saw this ecstatic 5
year old jumpinÆ with joy at what he had just heard, and handed
him the gift of a lifetime, a set of his vibe mallets... his
destiny was set. in 2003 roy continues to pack venues round the
world, playing with the same energy and passion that he exhibited
back in 1945 listening to the lionel hampton big band.
for many today his recordings with polydor during the 1970Æs are
those best remembered, his golden period, often sampled, and still
very relevant, as has been realised by no less than fourteen
different æbest ofÆsÆ over the last twenty years.
the first single from ævirgin ubiquityÆ, a collection of
previously unreleased material from this golden period, has a
remarkable collection of musicians; bernard purdy (played with
aretha franklin, steely dan, isaac hayes ), merry clayton (sang
with elvis presley, the supremes, ray charles, the rolling
stones), jimmy cobb (played with miles davis, dizzy gillespie,
john coltrane and stan getz) some of the better known ones.
searching - a spiritual journey, as it develops taking on a life
of his own, growing into a ten minute joyous musical journey.
brand new feeling- achingly orgasmic love song, putting to shame a
whole new generation of female singers, leaping out of your
system, sounding fresher than anything weÆve heard for many years.
buy a little piece of musical history.
