About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Evolution: The Polydor Anthology charts Roy Ayers' 12 years and 20 LPs with Polydor, a rich time where his gliding, loose-groove jazz-funk gained many fans -- though perhaps fewer than it did 20 years later in the midst of the rare groove/acid jazz revival. During the 1970s, {|Ayers|} and his band, Ubiquity, progressed from political- and social-commentary funk to blaxploitation to disco to some surprisingly touching R&B ballads, and this two-disc set covers it all with grace and a smooth flow. Fans of hip-hop, groove music, funk, and jazz will all be able to find something to enjoy on the collection. Highlights include "We Live in Brooklyn Baby," "Evolution," "Running Away," and "Get on up, Get on Down," among others. John Bush, All Music Guide

May 07, 2002: Roy Ayers with Polydor was really the bomb during the early to late 70s. Roy Ayers blended jazz with funk and soul; and his sub-group, UBIQUITY were so cool; led by drummer Ricky Lawson (now of Michael Jackson fame); and my homeboy on the long trumpet ... John ''Squirrel'' Mosely from Homewood (Pgh) Pa. Roy was the essence of vibraphone and was a badd catt during the smooth, mellow days of funky/jazzy fun ... backintheday!
