Soul Shake Saturday Tunes: Spotlight on Roy Ayers

Every now and then I am so in the mood to listen to Searching by Roy Ayers.  I suppose I first remembering hearing Roy's music--his blend of funk, soul and jazz, his signature vibraphone playing, in the 1980's.

Searching is for a late Saturday morning, slow,  cup of tea in your hand, dreamy start to your day...
