Roy Ayers Ubiquity - Change Up The Groove
Review by rizka pordella
Change Up The Groove is a soulful and funky album by Roy Ayers Ubiquity, released in 1974. The album is a perfect blend of jazz, funk, and R&B, with Ayers' signature vibraphone sounds adding a unique touch to the music.
The album opens with "Sensitize", a groovy track with a catchy melody and a tight rhythm section. The title track "Change Up The Groove" is a funky instrumental with an infectious bassline and some great horn arrangements. "Mystic Voyage" is a standout track, featuring a hypnotic and dreamy vibe, with Ayers' vibraphone being the main attraction.
The album also features some great vocal performances, with tracks like "Baby You Give Me A Feeling" and "Time And Space" showcasing Ayers' soulful vocals. The album's closing track, "The Black Five", is a funky instrumental that features some great guitar work and a lively rhythm section.
