	Roy Ayers (1940 - )
		Roy Ayers was born on September 10, 1940 in Los Angeles and he started out in 1963 as a vibe player with jazz artist Herbie Mann.
		In the late nineties, Jazz-funk icon Roy Ayers lays down his funk spirit in the form of deep house records, for example : the recent release with Scott Grooves on which Lonnie Liston Smith's classic 'Expansions' is reconstructed, or his deep-house version of 'Sweet Tears' he made for Louie Vega.
		Ayers matches her step for gun-totin' step with crisp, percolating drum lines; colorful ripples of electric piano; and his signature, lissome vibe work.

	Freestyle Roots: Roy Ayers
		And, okay : Roy might have never stopped searching for more creativity during recording or live performing - his lyrics were, well, cheesy : 'Doo-bee-doo, run-run-run' or 'I want to kiss you on your Poo Poo La La', let alone the imitation of a bunch of wild chimps on 'Freaky Deaky - Fonky Donkey'.
		Today, Roy lays down his funk spirit in the form of deep house records, for example : the recent release with Scott Grooves on which Lonnie Liston Smith's classic 'Expansions' is reconstructed, or his deep-house version of 'Sweet Tears' he made for Louie Vega.
		Roy Ayers is a living legend, not a living fossile.

	Deep Groove Encyclopedia - Roy Ayers
		Once dismissed by narrow minded scribes who couldn't relate to Roy's fusion of jazz with soul and dance flavors, he is now the undisputed Godfather of acid-jazz and has been a source of inspiration for the likes of Masters at Work, Guru, Mary J Blige, Groove Collective and dozens of others.
		Ayers was born in September 1940 in Los Angeles.
		It's interesting to note that Roy was focusing on developing female talent as Sylvia Striplin, Ethel Beatty, Eighties Ladies, and Bobbi Humphrey dominate the proceedings "Remember to Remember" from Rick Holmes proves Ayers still had conscious vibes on his mind.

	VH1.com : Roy Ayers : Biography
		A tune like 1972's "Move to Groove" by the Roy Ayers Ubiquity has a crackling backbeat that serves as the prototype for the shuffling hip-hop groove that became, shall we say, ubiquitous on acid jazz records; and his relaxed 1976 song "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" has been frequently sampled.
		Though Ayers' pop records were commercially successful, with several charted singles on the R&B charts for Polydor and Columbia, they became increasingly, perhaps correspondingly, devoid of musical interest.
		As the merger of hip-hop and jazz took hold in the early '90s, Ayers made a guest appearance on Guru's seminal Jazzmatazz album in 1993 and played at New York clubs with Guru and Donald Byrd.

	Roy Ayers : Stoned Soul Picnic - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Stoned Soul Picnic dates from the earlier part of Roy Ayers' career as a leader, before he delved heavily into R&B and funk fusions and instead concentrated more on soul-jazz grooves.
		Ayers leads a septet including such big names as pianist Herbie Hancock, altoist Gary Bartz, bassist Ron Carter, and flutist Hubert Laws.
		The Laura Nyro-penned title track foreshadows Ayers' later forays beyond the boundaries of pure jazz, and the group keeps the groove percolating nicely throughout, making Stoned Soul Picnic one of Ayers' better jazz-oriented outings.

	Roy Ayers \| Stoned Soul Picnic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Stoned Soul Picnic is vibraphonist Roy Ayers' third and probably best solo album, made in 1968 while he was still a part of Herbie Mann's group.
		Ayers stands clearly in the shadow of Bobby Hutcherson on this primarily modally-oriented date, sounding nothing like the groove-meister he would become known as later in the 1970s.
		Tolliver seems to tear apart the constraints of these duds (although “Picnic” is beyond hope) by dramatically slowing down the melodies, providing Ayers the time and space to set the mood (Tolliver correctly recognizes Ayers's strengths with ballads) and punctuating with nicely considered horn statements in between.

		This is prime disco funk with a classy jazz kick and even better considering it's been kept under wrap's for the last 25 years.
		Not in the case of Roy Ayers, master arranger, vocalist and of course vibraphonist behind a massive back catalogue of gems not forgetting his input to the Nu Yorican Soul album.
		Holding the dubious title as one of "the most sampled artists in the world...!", Roy Ayers is due some upfront love from a whole generation of beat mongers.

		Perhaps the track which most crossed over to the disco scene was "Heat of the beat".
		Roy also produced the Elektra disco band Ubiquity and started his own Uno-melodic record label in 1980.
		Roy's enduring success was proved during the 1980's when 1970's classics such as "Love will bring us back together" found dancefloor success again on the rare-groove scene.
