What was your favorite Roy Ayers experience? Here’s mine. Rest in beautiful rhythm and hues to the legend. Had the honor to open up for him a few times, and he was always nothing but kind energy on stage and off. Wooord. This excerpt was taken from the @royayersconnection film by DJ Haylo who interviewed me 15 years ago for the yet unfinished project (least to my knowledge). #bobbito #royayers #restinpeace #jazz #soul #sunshine #vinyl #reels #explore | Bobbito Garcia a.k.a.
