Über diesen Titel

Join us on Serendipity Transmits as we pay tribute to the legendary Roy Ayers, the "Godfather of Neo Soul" and a pioneering force in jazz, funk, and soul music. From a childhood spark ignited by jazz icon Lionel Hampton to a six-decade career that revolutionised multiple genres, Ayers’s vibraphone mastery and innovative sound shaped the musical landscape. Discover how growing up in LA’s vibrant jazz scene and mentorship from vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson fueled his signature style, blending bebop, funk, and R&B into timeless classics like "Everybody Loves the Sunshine."

We’ll explore Ayers’ lasting influence on hip-hop, neo-soul, and contemporary music, with his work sampled by artists from Mary J. Blige to Tyler, the Creator. His collaborations and groundbreaking albums defined an era and continue inspiring new generations. Tune in for a deep dive into the life, legacy, and enduring sunshine of Roy Ayers, celebrating a true musical innovator whose grooves and melodies will resonate forever.

Stay tuned for a special mixed show featuring his greatest works on Serendipity Transmits. Everybody loves the sunshine
