RIP to a musician who was interesting in all of his eras.  I especially enjoyed the Atlantic and the early Polydor albums, ca. 1967-1974.

In real time, I lost interest as the 70s wire on, and only regained some of it. But I know for a fact how immensely popular he was back in the day. In fact my single favorite Ayers cut was from that time!

RIP Roy Ayers!

I saw him twice with Herbie Mann, when they had recorded these two albums.

So much great music.

He was the soundtrack to the Jazz Dance/Acid Jazz/Rare Groove scene over here in the 80s which where I first heard him. But the leader albums on Atlantic and the work with Mann became my favourite

A real favourite of my younger brother's, for the reasons @mjazzg identifies. Sad news.

RIP

RIP. His work with Herbie Mann is good (Live At The Whisky A Go Go is truly amazing), but I think his collaboration with Jack Wilson is always underrated. It was a very good combination.
