The evening will also feature live painting from visual artist Lewis Achenbach.

“Long before he switched to playing disco and pop music, Roy Ayers was considered a promising young jazz vibraphonist. This LP, his second as a leader, was one of his finest. On four of the five selections…Ayers teams up with trumpeter Charles Tolliver, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Reggie Workman, drummer Bruno Carr, and the mysterious pianist Ronnie Clark…. On “Glow Flower,” Ayers and Tolliver are joined by Harold Land on tenor, pianist Jack Wilson, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Donald Bailey. The music is primarily advanced hard bop with some freer moments on Tolliver’s “The Ringer.” This underrated music is long overdue to be reissued on CD and displays Roy Ayers’ long before he was known as an R&B artist.”
