Roy Ayers Real Name: Roy Edward Ayers. Profile: Once one of the most visible and winning jazz vibraphonists of the 1960s, then an R&B bandleader in the 1970s and '80s, Roy Ayers' reputation s now that of one of the prophets of acid jazz, a man decades ahead of his time. After being featured prominently on Mann's hit Memphis Underground album and recording three solo albums for Atlantic under Mann's supervision, Ayers left the group in 1970 to form the Roy Ayers Ubiquity, which recorded several albums for Polydor and featured such players as Sonny Fortune, Billy Cobham, Omar Hakim, and Alphonse Mouzon. An R&B-jazz-rock band influenced by electric Miles Davis and the Herbie Hancock Sextet at first, the Ubiquity gradually shed its jazz component in favor of R&B/funk and disco.

With Ubiquity, Ayers explored the limits of his sound and the full range of his taste in material. His boldest maneuver was to feed his vibraphone through a distortion pedal. The sounds on Pretty Brown Skin and The Fuzz were enough to send traditional jazz critics running for the hills. In retrospect, it sounds amazing-something of a cross between a really dirty clavinet and Jimi Hendrix’s unruly Stratocaster. It was ugly and aggressive but also tapped into the vibraphone's African roots.

Roy Ayers' leap to the Polydor label inaugurates his music's evolution away from the more traditional jazz of his earlier Atlantic LPs toward the infectious, funk-inspired fusion that still divides critics and fans even decades after the fact. Although Ubiquity maintains one foot in Ayers' hard bop origins, the record favors soulful grooves and sun-kissed textures that flirt openly and unapologetically with commercial tastes
