In Focus: Roy Ayers

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.

Latin Jazz Post Bop Free Jazz Jazz Fusion Spiritual Jazz

Don't sleep on the flute – an often overlooked woodwind instrument in the history of jazz, the humble flute has brought a unique warmth to many of the genre's great records, and has had an influence across post-bop, spiritual, fusion and beyond.
