Comment:

As many ears as Roy Ayers turned inside-out when he first burst onto the scene, his star has grown even brighter over the years, as his famous fans in hip-hop and R&B sampled his juicy jazz-funk jams and sometimes even earned an appearance from the man himself. Ayers added another jewel to the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul's crown when his hot licks turned up the temperature on Mary J. Blige's sizzling 1997 update of his classic "Searchin'." Ayers' percussive powers were just as in-demand a decade later when he joined Kanye West on Talib Kweli's easy-rollin', jazz-stewed "In the Mood." Today's heaviest remix kings jump at the chance to pump up Ayers tracks too — check out how NYC house hotshot Osunlade adds club-conquering punch to the jungle groove of Ayers' "Tarzan."
