:: Roy Ayers - Mahogany Vibe

Roy Ayers

Roy Ayers' new 14-track CD brings to life music that makes you not only look the other side of the dance floor, but gives you the courage to ask someone to dance. Imagine you have just found a funky little jazz bar off some obscure back alley in the city somewhere, and you can hear that real soulful groovy music playing just outside its front door. Then you realise its Roy Ayers’s Mahogany Vibe playing.

With the release of this album, Roy Ayers and his creative flair for music simply ooze sex appeal. Ayers brings to his audience a music full of soulful melodies, funky beats, and rich flavour of jazz and electro that can only want you to bop to his tunes. Not only does he include the purity of old school rhythm and blues, but he combines it with a contemporary illustration of percussion and imagination that illustrates his celebration of life and love. His ongoing work in the studio, and live performances in America and abroad, has brought lovers of both hip hop and jazz together to form his own interpretation of these genres. Collaborating with artists such as Erykah Badu, Betty Wright and Kamilah has only enriched the flavour of his music. Check this one out. You might be very surprised.
