More Info
An essential Roy Ayers album blending soulful jazz roots with crisp 1970s funk. Originally released in 1974. Featuring Ayers' signature vibes, tight arrangements, and standout tracks like 'The Boogie Back' (sampled by the likes of NWA, 2Pac, De La Soul...) and 'Change Up the Groove,' this LP is a must-have for any fan of jazz-funk and vintage grooves. Step into the vibrant soundscape of the 1970s with "Change Up the Groove", a hidden gem from Roy Ayers Ubiquity's early Polygram years. Often overlooked in favor of Ayers' bigger hits, this soulful album is a masterclass in jazz-funk fusion, capturing the essence of Ayers' evolving style as he bridged the gap between his jazz roots and the rhythmic snap of the '70s funk revolution.
