During 1967-1969, vibraphonist
Roy Ayers (a few years before he turned to disco music) recorded three excellent albums for Atlantic. This 1976 LP has selections from two of the records, plus a pair of selections ("In the Limelight" and "Virgo Vibes") that were previously unreleased. On the fine sampler,
Ayers' sidemen include
Herbie Hancock,
Joe Henderson,
Charles Tolliver, and
Ron Carter. "Slow Motion," the latest selection (from Dec. 1969), hints at the commercial direction that
Ayers would be emphasizing from 1970 on.
