Niche Productions presents the return to Australia by one of the undisputed heavyweights of soul music: Roy Ayers. Joining soul brothers like James Brown, Fela Kuti and George Clinton, Ayers is a seminal figure in the world of music, fusing funk, soul, disco and afro with politics and style, to remain supremely relevant across three decades of wonderful output.
Receiving adoration for soul hits like ‘Everybody Loves The Sunshine’ and ‘Daylight’, or the soul-jazz of ‘We Live In Brooklyn’, he has conquered funk jams like ‘Love Will Bring Us Back Together’ as well as club hits of the disco era like ‘Running Away’ and ‘Our Time Is Coming.’ Most recently seminal UK label BBE releases uncovered gems in their Virgin Ubiquity series and his collaborations with Erykah Badu and remix collabos with 9th Wonder (Verve Remixed), Jazzanova and Masters At Work/Nuyorican Soul have kept him amongst the hardest working and culturally significant artists of his era.
