Ubiquity

by Roy Ayers

Marking the transition from his tenure with Herbie Mann toward his own ensemble-led direction, the record highlights Ayers' proficiency on the vibraphone. The production blends the harmonic complexity of late-60s jazz with the burgeoning energy of psychedelic soul and funk. It served as the formal introduction of the 'Ubiquity' concept, prioritizing rhythmic fluidness and a more contemporary urban sound within the jazz idiom.
