ROY AYERS is an iconic figure. With a career spanning over four decades beginning as jazz vibraphonist, expanding into R&B/funk & disco he is now considered one of the prophets of acid jazz. At 64 years old he is a man always decades ahead of his time.
In 2004 RAPSTER released Virgin Ubiquity, the first in a series of unreleased recordings.
Roys vault having been opened, RAPSTER has offered up a second albums worth of previously unreleased precious gems, Virgin Ubiquity II. Over a year has been spent carefully restoring a huge quantity of 2inch reels. After an agonising process of elimination the tracks before you were delivered to JAMIE STAUB who lovingly mixed each retrieved master, giving a lush warmth to the finished album, rarely heard in the modern era.
Roy Ayers has influenced the music of now. He is a classic artist a forward thinker/innovator, a benchmark. His music has been sampled by many & theres still more to discover about Roy
