Roy Ayers, the late, great vibraphonist whose 60s and 70s work defined a jazz-funk style for that era, is really one in a long line of jazz vibraphonists. Some of these greats include Milt Jackson / The Modern Jazz Quartet, Cal Tjader and Bobby Hutcherson, but it was Lionel Hampton who gave a 5 year old Roy Ayers his first pair of vibraphone mallets. #jazz #jazzhistory #musichistory #woogtalksmusic #jazzfunk #royayers #vibes #vibraphone #vibraphonist #caltjader #70sjazz #60sjazz #lionelhampton |
