Few artists have straddled the worlds of jazz, R&B, funk, and soul as confidently as Roy Ayers – ask four people what genre he's known for and you may receive four different answers.
Beyond being a world-class vibraphonist, and penning the life-affirming anthem "Everybody Love The Sunshine", Ayers life and music was rich with diversions – touring with Fela Kuti, performing with Whitney Houston, countless studio collaborations, and endless innovation on his solo records.
Selected and mixed by Suncut.
