Description
A legendary live album released exclusively in Japan in 1972.
No compromise. Roy Ayers at his rawest gets to the very essence of groove.
Vibraphonist Roy Ayers has captivated the world. While his masterpieces are countless, this album, "Live At The Montreux Jazz Festival," has long been highly regarded for its content and rarity. It is one of the earliest works released under the name Ubiquity, one of the few live recordings available, and was produced exclusively for the Japanese market. These factors combine to make it legendary. Feverish "Daddy Bug," cool yet psychedelic "In A Silent Way," the deeply groovy "Move To Groove" featuring Harry Whitaker's vocals, and the excitingly dynamic "A Cup Of Tea." The edgy performances showcase Roy Ayers at his peak during this period and hint at the golden age of Ubiquity that was to come. This is truly a live performance filled with passion.
