CD Description
With their appealing jazz-funk fusion and proto-acid jazz jams, Roy Ayers Ubiquity had some winning moments in the 1970s. One of them, "Running Away", can be found on 1977's LIFELINE. A disco-infused dance hit, "Running Away" works a burbling groove that induces shimmying and shaking upon first listen. Some of that magic spills over into the other tracks onLIFELINE, though the album suffers some from dated production and concessions to the trends of the time. Even so, Ayer's tasteful vibes work keeps things cooking, as does the funky playing of his ensemble.

Customer Reviews

The Good Groove Continues. . .
This album is regarded as a mixed bag by many Roy Ayers fans but id say its an essential for your collection because of the greatness of the first 3 tracks

1 - This side of sunshine : when Roy gets into a mellow groove it takes you to another place & this is no exception. Perfection from begining to end & featuring the wonderful vocals of Dee Dee Bridgewater, what more could you want on a track.

2 - Running Away : Most should be familiar with this track as its the bonafide hit from this album. If you want to get your boogie on then this is one of those tracks that will help you do just that!!

3 - Gotta Find A Lover : Again this is Roy in mellow mood & its faultless


there are other good tracks on this album but it isnt as solid as some of his previous efforts. that said there are some great moments on here & if your getting into the Roy Ayers discography then you need to purchase this.
