Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves The Sunshine

Roy Ayers playing Everybody Loves The Sunshine Live from Brewhouse Jazz!
I uploaded this version with a better image.

Who is listening to this in 2024?

[@quintinfranklin9168]

Me, & will listen to this when listening is no more for me!

[@maggsw5481]

@@quintinfranklin9168 I know exactly what you mean. I played it yesterday and this morning and will always continue to play it. I feel this live version is the best - out of all the other live versions and dare I say, even better than the studio album, which I bought when it was released in 1976. Ayers has this incredible way he puts his chords together. Whether it's this track or 'Searchin' or ' Runnin' away' etc. He's just brilliant!!

Yooooo....this crowd was sooo unappreciative to the straight up mastery and skill and pure essence of life this man brings with his crew. They just..SAT there!!!! I would have lost my EVER LASTING MINNNNDDDD in this performance!

I've never seen so many warm comments ..one of .my favourire Roy Ayres tracks and he's still going.....magic

[@sphiwemashaba2661]

Roy Ayers must have been at his prime here! And this has to be without doubt, his best band to date! What a fine version of Everybody Loves The Sunshine. Pitty that the audience was not ready for the kind of greatness that stood before them on that day.

[@marquiselektrek8452]

Sphiwe Mashaba, I am a musician, and I agree with everything that you said! I've not heard all of the bands and ensembles that Mr. Ayers has played with, but it's hard for me to imagine any of them sounding as good as this one here, b/c the arrangement, musicianship, and virtuosity on display her is off the chart! The band and Roy Ayres are maddeningly tight! 😁 In fact this is one of my favorite live performances of all time! All genres of music considered! Lastly, it's so sad that there are very few of today's band's showcasing this level of skill and musicianship. Maybe today's kids can watch this video to see how it's done! Peace✌️

[@dylanmace2851]

Ray Gaskins (RIP) was a great addition to the band though,

[@andresramirezmolina]

i admire them for not letting the crowd damper their spirits and still play some great music.

[@precisearts]

This is one of the MOST AWESOME displays of musical genius I have ever seen or heard in my 61 yrs COLD BLOODED!!!

You guys are right, that audience had no soul. Excellent performance. The bass player didn't miss a note. The guitar solo was nice too. I stumble on this by mistake, glad I made that mistake. I saw Roy Ayers at the World Financial Center. He is the best!,

so good to see Roy giving props to Miles Davis, because he so deeply deserves every bit! We live for Roy Ayres here in D.C. because he never forgets us when he's on tour! Thank you so much for this smoove, mellow version of my all-time favorite jazz anthem. I'm so feelin this ace interpretation.

Dennis Davis, Drummer Exrtraordinaire...

[@CrystalFissure]

I feel like this is definitively one of the greatest music tracks of all time. Those chords are beautiful. No wonder so many Deep House, Nu-Jazz, Hip Hop and Techno artists sample and are inspired by Roy Ayers and by extension, Miles Davis and other Jazz innovators. Truly incredible.

[@flowerpower111]

Been listening to Roy since the 70's. He, Grover Washington Jr, Ronnie Laws, Bob James, Dexter Wansel, Donald Byrd, The Crusaders and Lonnie Liston Smith took charge of the jazz-fusion movement and hit it out the park. One of my all time favorite artist. This audience must have been left over from an infomercial spot!

I was in college OU when I heard this at party went out and bought the eight track at Soundwarehouse on West Lindsey. And I played that bad boy all the time especially going down that two lane highway going home from school. It’s like a chant cause everybody’s love the sunshine. Here it is 2023 and it takes me back to the first time I heard. Oh I could run like the wind back then and so carefree.. Yes life.. in the sunshine..LB Thursday January 26, 2023…😊
