Roy Ayers

Roy Ayers’ Silver Vibrations (Expansion EXLPM64) showcases the vibraphone legend at the height of his creativity in 1983. Combining supple funk rhythms, sensual jazz melodies and street-wise lyricism, it includes classics like “Chicago” and “Good Good Music.” This reissue amplifies the deep low end and gleaming top end of Ayers’ signature sound. It’s a radiant, dance-floor-ready slice of jazz-funk from a master who blurred boundaries between soul, disco and sophisticated groove.
