{"product_id":"roy-ayers-ubiquity-red-black-green-lp","title":"Roy Ayers Ubiquity - Red Black \u0026 Green (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1970s, Roy Ayers formed his own band: Roy Ayers Ubiquity. Its lineup\nincluded artists well known to funk and soul fans such as Bernard Purdie, James Mason,\nand Edwin Birdsong.\nThis 1973 album presents Roy Ayers in the midst of a creative evolution toward a sound\nincreasingly influenced by soul and funk, moving beyond the early phase of his musical\ncareer, which was more rooted in orthodox jazz.\nOn “Red Black \u0026 Green”, he teams up with highly accomplished collaborators such as\nkeyboardist Harry Whitaker, arranger and producer William S. Fischer, and Strata-East\nmusicians Charles Tolliver and Sonny Fortune. Here, however, the latter two do not\nventure into the spiritual jazz sounds so characteristic of their own recordings; instead,\ntogether they embrace a sophisticated funk groove where Ayers showcases his\nextraordinary vibraphone talent.\nThe album includes outstanding versions of ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ and ‘Day Dreaming,’ as\nwell as original compositions such as ‘Cocoa Butter,’ ‘Rhythms of Your Mind,’ and the\nsuperb title track, ‘Red Black \u0026 Green.’\nAfter years out of print, we are pleased to present this much-needed vinyl reissue of an\nessential album in Roy Ayers’ career. Pressed on 180g vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tRWbpAHgImY?si=-ZvCwMadNzqHKM5k\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ApB1--ZIxAc?si=z49pmEGk3u69oDTu\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Vampisoul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48345110184195,"sku":"VAMPI323","price":4769.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/files\/70482633-5310-6b71-55ad-64536edb02f9.jpg?v=1774090193","url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/products\/roy-ayers-ubiquity-red-black-green-lp","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
