Roy Ayers

The US jazz-funk vibist responsible for much-sampled rare groove classics like 'Everybody Loves the Sunshine', 'Mystic Voyage', 'Love Will Bring Us Back Together' and 'We Live in Brooklyn' settles in for a two-night engagement at the Billboard Live, where he's joined by another musician who found subsequent acclaim with the crate-digging generation: pianist Lonnie Liston Smith.
