Roy Ayers - Hot (Live at Brewhouse Theatre, 1992)

2008 Asbury Park Jazz Festival,  Sunset Park

Please stop what you’re doing and give a birthday shout out to Gary Bartz, who recently celebrated his 82nd birthday! A master collaborator, Bartz has played with all the heavy hitters from Miles and Art Blakey, to McCoy Tyler and Pharaoh Sanders. Oh, and let’s not forget Bartz’ saxophone on Roy Ayers’ late 60’s release Stone Cold Picnic. My personal favorite think about Bartz is his versatility, playing many different styles from abstract, to straight ahead jazz, to more beat-driven jazz fusion styles. Either way, play some Gary Bartz today, wherever you are in the world. Check the link in our bio to listen to Roy Ayers’ Stone Cold Picnic. #garybartz #royayers https://www.instagram.com/p/CjEYGgjPXmm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
