Description
Daddy Bug was the third and final studio work for Atlantic by the great Roy Ayers. The album was released in 1969, a year before Ayers would form his groundbreaking band Ubiquity. Produced by jazz icon Herbie Mann, Daddy Bug is full of cool, stylish vibraphone-heavy instrumental jazz with contributions from some of the best sidemen in the business - including Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, Hubert Laws on flute, Sonny Sharrock on guitar, and both Bruno Carr and Freddie Waits on drums. Now, after years out of print, this classic album is available again in a Yellow colored vinyl run for Record Store Day 2026. Tracklist A1. Daddy Bug A2. Bonita A3. This Guy's In Love With You A4. I Love You Michelle B1. Shadows B2. Emmie B3. Look To The Sky B4. It Could Only Happen With You
