Roy Ayers

Last night I saw Roy Ayers play at The Forum. A bona fide legend of the funk, soul and jazz world, Ayers also happens to be almost 70. I've seen a few other legendary musicians who trade more on their status and past glories than their current ability (Lee Scratch Perry springs to mind), but Ayers was an absolute joy to watch, backed by an astoundingly talented group of musicians.
Joel was shooting the night, no doubt more photos will go up on his photostream in due course (photo to the right is his, I have no idea why the attribution is not showing up properly).
