Good Vibrations

In May 1990 Roy Ayers made his firsl appearance al Ronnie Scott's club in London's Frith Street, and a very sucessful debut it was. The sound of his band on that two week stay can be heard on JHCD 013 "Searchin", which was one of the first releases on the Ronnie Scott's Jazz House label in May 1991. At the beginning of the 90's Roy was, and indeed still is, a heavily featured artist in London's jazz dance clubs, where his own 'classics' from the 70's and 80's are constantly on the turntables as well as his earlier recordings being sampled on releases by a number of other artists.

Very, very fine selection of well-known songs and less known ones from the 60's onward. They generally play them quite straight, though with the precisely controlled flair the Singers are known for. No weak entries here; nothing that violates the original spirit of the tunes, either. The Beach Boys music has great precision with the unusual rhythms they write in, and that is very hard to do. A beautiful offering by the King's Singers!
