Its lineup included artists well known to funk and soul fans such as \u003cstrong\u003eBernard Purdie\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJames Mason\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eEdwin Birdsong\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis 1973 album presents Roy Ayers in the midst of a creative evolution toward a sound increasingly influenced by soul and funk, moving beyond the early phase of his musical career, which was more rooted in orthodox jazz.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOn “\u003cem\u003eRed Black \u0026amp; Green\u003c\/em\u003e”, he teams up with highly accomplished collaborators such as keyboardist \u003cstrong\u003eHarry Whitaker\u003c\/strong\u003e, arranger and producer \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam S.

Here, however, the latter two do not venture into the spiritual jazz sounds so characteristic of their own recordings; instead, together they embrace a sophisticated funk groove where Ayers showcases his extraordinary vibraphone talent.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe album includes outstanding versions of ‘\u003cem\u003eAin’t No Sunshine\u003c\/em\u003e’ and ‘\u003cem\u003eDay Dreaming\u003c\/em\u003e,’ as well as original compositions such as ‘\u003cem\u003eCocoa Butter\u003c\/em\u003e,’ ‘\u003cem\u003eRhythms of Your Mind\u003c\/em\u003e,’ and the superb title track, ‘\u003cem\u003eRed Black \u0026amp; Green\u003c\/em\u003e.’\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAfter years out of print, we are pleased to present this much-needed vinyl reissue of an essential album in Roy Ayers’ career.
