A man decades ahead of his time, composer, vibraphonist and bandleader, Roy Ayers has made a significant impression with his contributions to American music genres funk, soul, R&B, disco, hip-hop and jazz. Beginning his career as a jazz player, Ayers released several albums with Atlantic Records before bringing his brand of soul-jazz to Verve and Polydor where he released a succession of landmark albums such as Ubiquity, Vibrations, Mystic Voyage and Everybody Loves The Sunshine. 1977's Come Into Knowledge is the lone album released under the Roy Ayers Music Productions moniker. Co-produced with Edwin Birdsong and William Allen, the rare groove classic is chock full of smoothed out jazz-funk joints like the updated version of "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" which is arguably better than the original and "Daylight" which was famously sampled by A Tribe Called Quest on "Bonita Applebum."
