Artist: Ayers, Roy
Label: Elemental
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 600753985946
Genre: Jazz
Roy Ayers' first album on the Polydor label inaugurates his music's evolution away from the more traditional jazz of his earlier Atlantic LPs toward the infectious, funk-inspired fusion. Although Ubiquity maintains one foot in Ayers' hard bop origins, it favors soulful grooves and sun-kissed textures that flirt openly with commercial tastes. AllMusic reviewer Jason Ankeny rated the album with * out of five stars, stating that "Several cuts feature the male/female vocals that would become a hallmark of subsequent works by the same group, while mid-tempo instrumentals like 'Pretty Brown Skin' and 'The Painted Desert' feature evocatively cinematic arrangements and intriguing solos that unfurl like psychedelic freak flags. The crack supporting cast including bassist John Williams, keyboardist Harry Whitaker, and drummer Alphonso Mouzon proves equally effective on high-energy numbers like 'Can You Dig It' and the Nat Adderley-penned 'Hummin' in the Sun,' which point the way to the mind-expanding funk Ayers would perfect across the sessions to follow. An outstanding record."
