What are you listening to today for your Sunday summertime soundtrack? Shout out to @vinyl_score for sharing this yellow vinyl of Roy Ayers’ “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” (repost: @vinyl_score) ・・・ Roy Ayers Ubiquity • Everybody Loves The Sunshine • 1976 Roy Ayers has once again awoken from his 51 week hibernation to usher in summer in the UK. He'll be gone again before the end of the month, so make sure you say "Hi Roy" before he disappears behind an inevitable blanket of grey clouds and cancelled outdoor events. I wish I had the opportunity to play this album more, as it has so much more to offer than just the amazing title track. A jazz funk classic. ☀️☀️☀️ #royayers #royayersubiquity #everybodylovesthesunshine #jazzfunk #soul #vinylcommunity #nowspinning #vinylcollection #instavinyl #vinyljunkie #vinylcollector #vinyloftheday #recordcollection #recordcollector #coloredvinyl https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg-D_XpPY-T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Roy Ayers Ubiquity - Lifelines 1977 Polydor Records. Running Away was the big song off this album, but also featured some great female vocals from Sylvia Cox, Ethel West and Dee Dee Bridgewater. i also liked Justo Almario's sax solos. Another great find in the dollar bin. #royayersubiquity , #lifelines, #jazzfunk, #sylviacox, # ethelwest, #deedeebridgewater, #justoalmario , #dollarbin, (at Grand Rapids, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg76IxouoXS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Excellent words by @corgiesing75, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Roy Ayers Ubiquity’s legendary album “He’s Coming”. Also, check @corgiesing75’s bio for a Spotify playlist of songs that sampled this album! What’s your favorite song from “He’s Coming”? Slides 1-4: Front / Back / Insert of album Slides 5-7: Roy Ayers early 70s (sans mustache) (credit unknown) (Repost @corgiesing75) ・・・ Fifty years ago 'He's Coming' was released, Roy Ayers Ubiquity's CLASSIC sophomore album. He's Coming captures Roy Ayers at the absolute top of his game, masterminding jazz-funk grooves as taut as a tightrope. Profoundly inspired by the Broadway musical 'Jesus Christ Superstar' (and including a reading of the soundtrack's 'I Don't Know How to Love Him'), the album is a deeply felt exploration of Ayers' spiritual and social beliefs, celebrating the life and rebirth of Jesus with 'He's a Superstar' and its follow-up title cut before delivering the equally impassioned political manifesto 'Ain't Got Time' a wake-up call for slumbering revolutionaries. Aided by an exemplary backing unit featuring saxophonist Sonny Fortune, bassist John Williams, keyboardist Harry Whitaker, and drummer Billy Cobham, Ayers channels the intensity of his message into his music, creating the most vibrant and textured music of his career to date. The atmospheric 'We Live in Brooklyn, Baby' is an absolute masterpiece, a haunting hybrid of jazz, funk, and soul that exemplifies the Ayers aesthetic at its most far-reaching and inventive.
