Upcoming In Other, Pants-shitting Roy Ayers News…
posted by on September 19 at 9:13 AM
The man himself will play Nectar on Tuesday, October 16!
Ayers is a soul-jazz master, one of groove music’s great innovators; he provided the bridge between jazz and disco and has been sampled and referenced over and over again in hiphop and house music. His breezy vibraphone compositions swayed between jazz, funk, downtempo, disco, and lounge well before they were picked up by a new generation of producers searching for a sound light on the ears but heavy with soul.
Ayers is not a young guy anymore (he’s in his late 60s) and tours infrequently. Major props to Colin Johnson at Nectar for scoring his only NW gig. Says Johnson, “I shat myself when he confirmed. Jazz-soul heads and hiphoppers unite!”
Tickets will cost $22 advance, quite a deal to see a jazz legend in action. Download Ayers’ disco classic “Running Away” here.
This is really exciting. I will definitely be there!
When Chris (local indiepages.com) provided excelent Denton TX hostmanship for TCraft in '96 (crappy house, Full Metal Jacket at 7am, and Butthole Surfer like club and opening bands - Chris is dope promoter/all around amzing boptoes), some duderaver kid in the hackeysack circle was tellin about some phat frequencies that this new jazzospin JD was con-cock-ting. says he, "he knows just the timbre (no scientfxc datum at the time - stone ages these were) to make your BOWELS MOVE."
I would have never gone to Laura veirs' house parties, if it we'rent for indpges.com Man. he's got his ear to the needle
Very cool. I bet a thing or two could be learned from watching this man.

***- when Ayers gets really cookin, ya know, "feeding off the audience" and the whole place is erupting like a Gospel hour hoedown, and the need for call and response is greater than ever?

All that and he is Sonic Boom's Nabil Ayers biological dad.
