Description

A legendary live album released only in Japan in 1972. With no compromise whatsoever, a stripped-down Roy Ayers approaches the very essence of groove. Roy Ayers is a vibraphonist who has captivated audiences around the world. There is no end to the list of his masterpieces, but among them, this work "Live At The Montreux Jazz Festival" has been particularly supported for its content and rarity. It is one of the earliest works released under the Ubiquity name, one of the few live recordings, and was produced exclusively as a Japan-only release. With several factors overlapping, its existence has become legendary. The album includes the feverish "Daddy Bug", the cool and psychedelic "In A Silent Way", the intensely grooving "Move To Groove" featuring vocals by Harry Whitaker, and "A Cup Of Tea", whose dynamic shifts create an exciting development. The edgy performances suggest both the creative peak of Roy Ayers during this period and the coming golden age of Ubiquity. This is truly a live performance of pure excitement. Text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY).

Description in Japanese

ロイ・エアーズ・ユビキティ・アット・モントゥルー / ロイ・エアーズ・ユビキティ

1972年に日本でのみリリースされた伝説のライヴ・アルバム。一切の駆け引きなし。抜き身のロイ・エアーズがグルーヴの神髄に迫る。世界を虜にしてきたヴィブラフォン奏者、ロイ・エアーズ。名作を挙げればキリはないが、なかでもその内容と希少性から支持されてきたのが本作『Live At The Montreux Jazz Festival』。ユビキティ名義での最初期作品であること、数少ないライヴ録音であること、そして日本盤のみしか制作されなかったこと。いくつかの要素が重なり、その存在は伝説となっている。熱に浮かされたような「Daddy Bug」、クールかつサイケデリックな「In A Silent Way」、ハリー・ウィテカーのヴォーカルをフィーチャーした激グルーヴィな「Move To Groove」、緩急のある展開がエキサイティングな「A Cup Of Tea」。エッジの効いた演奏はこの時期のロイ・エアーズの充実と、来たるべきユビキティの黄金時代を思わせる。これぞまさに、熱狂のライヴである。text by 尾川雄介 (UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY)。
