Roy Ayers-Africa,Center Of The World-Afro-Funk-NEW LP

Roy Ayers -- Africa, Center Of The World ...

NEW LP
Polydor, 1981. New Copy (reissue)....

A great album that Roy Ayers cut after his co-led record with Fela Kuti -- and one with the same sort of hard-driving Afro-Funk grooves that you'd find in Fela's classic recordings!

 The songs are shorter than Fela's, and with more of Roy's usual smooth jazzy production style -- but the overall influence is very much in the Afro-Funk vein, and the album's sort of a "part 2" to the Music Of Many Colors set that was cut a few years before. William Allen worked on the record with Roy -- playing choppy Afro-Funk bass, and arranging and producing a lot of the material with Roy and Jaymz Bedford -- and the record also features a host of extra percussion players, as well as some vocals by the lovely Sylvia Striplin.

Includes the great groover "Africa, Center Of The World", plus "The River Niger", and a great remake of "Third Eye", which was on Everybody Loves The Sunshine, but is redone here with a heavier sound!
