Roy Ayers originally did Bonita, Donna Lee, It Could Happen to You, Days of Wine & Roses and other songs. Overall, a truly mind-blowing recording, and arguably Roy Ayers’ best recording in almost 40 years, sitting up there with some of his greatest work. Roy Ayers covered Bonita, Donna Lee, It Could Happen to You, Days of Wine & Roses and other songs. This is the second release of the multi-part Jazz Is Dead series, with a compilation, featuring Ayers and many other music legends, released digitally (and later this summer on vinyl) earlier this year.

The session also features spiritual jazz masters Phil Ranelin and Wendell Harrison of Detroit’s legendary Tribe label, as well as drummer Greg Paul, and a number of backing vocalists including Loren Oden, Joy Gilliam, Saudia Yasmein, Elgin Clark, and Anitra Castleberry. The music truly captures the spirit of Ayers’ classic material from the seventies while still sounding fresh, fusing together jazz-funk grooves with warm sunny soulful melodies and feel-good vibes. Recorded back in February 2018 at Younge’s Linear Labs studio, while the rightfully declared “Godfather of Neo-Soul” performed four sold out shows in Los Angeles as part of the Jazz Is Dead Black History Month series, this incredible album features eight new original tracks written collaboratively by Ayers, Younge, and Muhammad. Nothing done by scanning, removing spindle hole, and uploading.Soul-jazz legend Roy Ayers, who made his mark in the seventies and early eighties with classic recordings like He’s Coming, Ubiquity, Red Black & Green, Vibrations, Everybody Loves The Sunshine, and so many others, has teamed up with Los Angeles based producers/multi-instrumentalists Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (of also Tribe Called Quest) to release a brand new album on the newly formed Jazz Is Dead label. There’s also a lot of ring wear so that had to be cloned out. Therefore, much careful cloning was done to repair the white border. After being featured prominently on Manns hit Memphis Underground album and recording three solo albums for Atlantic under Manns supervision, Ayers left the group in 1970 to form the Roy Ayers Ubiquity, which recorded several albums for Polydor and featured such players as Sonny Fortune, Billy Cobham, Omar Hakim, and Alphonse Mouzon. Color replacement wasn’t an option on this one because of all the text. Again, this is in great shape.īack cover: This needed love too. The lines running down Chano’s, Doug’s, and Shaun’s photographs give them such great mood. Sleeve-back: I love the artifacts in the photographs Dave took. It’s in really good shape and thicker than most sleeves so not much had to be done to it. Sleeve-front: These sleeves have so much character! Nice job by Beverly Parker and A.G.I., Dave Heffernan, and Leonid Lubianitsky. It’s also a little off-balance but that was easily fixed too. I also had much ring wear to remove and I did that through cloning. I replaced the white with an era-consistent approximation (translation: I didn’t go totally white). Front cover: This is a promo copy so it’s every bit as old as it’s copyright indicates.
