I'm posting this album because :
1. I'm really excited that I'm going to see vibraphone player, singer, writer, producer and all-round-legend Roy Ayers perform live tomorrow night. (edit: review in comments)
2. I just helped out the guys over at Blaxploitation Jive/Pride with their Ayers discography, so wanted to alert you to the possibility of another 37 Roy Ayers links.
3. It's really good ...
This is a great film soundtrack that Ayers made with his Ubiquity band and special guests like Cecil Bridgewater and Dee Dee Bridgewater. Arrangements are by Ayers and his regular keyboardist Harry Whitaker (also of "Black Renaissance" fame).
Enjoy!
