BBE Music presents the first ever digital release for ‘Baby Doll’, a hidden Roy Ayers gem from the 70s, originally issued as a limited 12″ single back in 2003.

Initially intended to be the opening single for the first volume of Roy Ayers ‘Virgin Ubiquity: Unreleased Recordings 1976 – 1981’, somehow the track never made it onto the album itself, so this vintage disco cut has never appeared on digital formats, until now.

Featuring the great Bernard ‘Pretty’ Purdy on drums, ‘Baby Doll’ boasts William Allen on bass and Chano O’Ferral on congas, with vocals, keys and clarinet taken care of by Mr. Ayers himself.

Amerigo Gazaway, the man behind the A Tribe Called Quest and The Pharycde mash-up album, as well as the De La Soul and Fela Kuti one, is back combining Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) and the legendary Marvin Gaye for a new series titled Soul Mates. 

Yasiin Gaye: The Departure has a very soulful vibe as the producer crafted his own arrangements using samples from Marvin Gaye’s music, building a foundation for Yasiin Bey’s rhymes and Marvin Gaye’s voice.

I adore Adrianna Evans. Her tunes are quite simplistic but her voice carries everything through so beautifully.
This was just supposed to be a quick extended edit this morning to go on my iPod but got itchy fingers and ended up 
adding some flute, jazz trumpet and all sorts! 

Anyways, thought I'd share with you if you fancy a bit of chillaxing :)

A fav' or a comment would be great if you take a download :))

Cheers

Roy Ayers - Ubiquity / The Memory
