ROY AYERS - BRAND NEW FEELING

("Virgin Ubiquity", Rapster/BBE, 2003)

The vibraphonist is one of the best musicians of the late 20th and 21st centuries, and maybe the reason why acid and nu-jazz exist.
After James Brown, he's the most sampled by hip-hop artists, including A Tribe Called Quest, Gangstarr (DJ Premier), Public Enemy, Masta Ace, Mos Def, MF Doom...
This track is comin' from a great compilation of Roy Ayers unreleased recordings between 1976 and 1981. The voices of divas Merry Clayton & Sylvia Cox are soulful... 9'50 of happiness !
