It sounds like a cliche, but without Roy Ayers so many of the records I grew up listening to wouldn't have seen the light of day. His influence seeps through so many of the great neo-soul records - he features on Erykah Badu's "Mama's Gun" and Jill Scott's "Who Is Jill Scott?"
In with a loud hit of the snare, like a bang on the door to a great night, ‘the godfather of neo-soul’ Roy Ayers and his band kicked off the tight jams that would see us through the night.
Following a night of irresponsible drinking in Soho, I was wandering past Ronnie Scott’s when I noticed the unmistakable figure of ROY AYERS, master of the vibes with a voice to melt a glacier.
