King Of The Vibes (Japanese paper sleeve edition)
CD (Item 595017) Vivid (Japan), 2011 — Condition: New Copy
Great work from one of the few cats who can truly claim the name of King Of The Vibes – the mighty Roy Ayers, a man who's been rocking the instrument for over five decades in music! The set's got a warm, soulful groove – kind of a contemporary extension of the styles that Roy first laid down on Polydor and Columbia, handled with just the right sort of poise, class, and balance to keep the Ayers legacy strong! If you've heard any of Roy's other recent work, you'll find plenty to love here, too – as Ayers is one of the few who can keep putting out great music of this nature, without falling prey to any contemporary cliches at all. Titles include "Neo Soul Groove", "Virgin Vibes", "Obama Say", "E Funk", "Feel Me", and "Get Some Money". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
