WAYNE HENDERSON-ROY AYERS ~~~•Merge a birth of musical peace “Prime Time” Is Henderson Ayers’ Second Tremendous Album By Teresa Burns Post Staff Writer Guess what "Prime Time” is. It doesn't have anything to do with television or the ‘Not Ready For Prime Time Players’ on “Satur day Night Live.” And no, you can’t find it in a grocery store - you know, as in prime ribs. “Prime Time” is the second tremendous album between two men - Wayne Henderson and Roy Ayers. This disc is a highly vi brant jazz, R&B and soul com bination. The two men’s paths have crossed and from this merge a birth of musical peace has oc curred. Each man has a different philosophy about the music pro duced, but ultimately the end result is the same. It’s not ne cessarily music for the feet, but music for the mind. “My music is ubiquitous,” Roy Ayers explains, “It’s everywhere. I’m into some of everything...R&B jazz, pop, bossa novaTolues, Latin, my music is a combination of mafiy different musics because of what I’ve learned in my life. I feel just as young now as when I was 19, just as creative. I’ll feel I’m too old for the music when I'm not able to change anymore. If I ever get to that point, I’ll just have to sit down by the side of the road and let the others go by.” “I really feel proud of everything I’ve done," states Roy. “I am be coming more aware of who I am and wnere I’m going. Each alburn has given me another image. In finding yourself, you must be intro spective, even if you make mistakes in the process. I call it searching. I realized after the “Let’s Do It” album, that I was going to change my image because I wanted to get a more mellow thing. I changed and actually became myself again. That’s my image today, and it’s reflected in "No Stranger To Love” and "Prime Time” LP that I recorded with Wayne Henderson.” Ayers became a sensation in the jazz arena after starring with Herbie Mann - then he went on his own. As for Wayne Henderson, his two-year stint with the popular Crusaders, helped to develop him into one of the most respected jazz trombonists and arrai^ers. His goals are clear and his purpose strengthened by years of experi ence. "My purpose," Henderson be gan, “is to elevate black music to the next level, meaning, to use all the elements -- classical, pop, jazz, R&B, gospel and opera - and, by using all the feelings generated from the various forms, fusing it together into what I call superfusion.' This is the kind of music we make at home,' it has all these elements and it reflects all ethnic groups, just like ear candy ...good, strong, positive music. "Jazz means live and create, it's a freedom of expression, it’s the only real art form that lends itself to improvisation. Jazz is like free dom in life; there are no bar riers, it’s what you feel, and as a result of it being that free, I can hear jazz in all music forms, it’s the roots for all of it. I want the jazz cats to be able to dig it, but this is music for everyone, the entire inhabited world." To take the two greats, Roy Ayers and Wayne Henderson and expect anything less than per fection is unheard of. Their music is crisp, bright and mood influenc ing - something astray from the ordinary.
