Roy Ayers feierte am 10. September seinen 80. Geburtstag. Anlass für meinen Gast Mathias Knoppe und mich, dem "Godfather of Neo Soul" zu huldigen. Aus 60 Jahren Musik haben wir für die Radio Sendung zwei Stunden zusammengestellt. Von den Anfängen als Session Musiker über seine Jazz-Funk, Disco und Afro-Phasen bis hin zur Wiederentdeckung durch den Acid Jazz / Dancefloor Jazz-Hype und seiner aktuellen Platte mit Ali Shaheed Mohammed und Adrian Younge aus diesem Monat.
Außerdem: 99 Minuten "Sunshine" - der Megamix von seinem größten Hit "Everybody Loves The Sunshine". Eine Reise durch Soul, Jazz, House, Disco, Hip Hop, R&B und Drum'n'Bass. Mit dabei: Björk, A Tribe Called Quest, A Guy Called Gerald, Seu Jorge, D'Angelo, Tim "Love" Lee, Mary J. Blige ...
