prockrayers410phf-53Earlier this year, a truly special show graced the spotlights at Harlem Stage in NYC.  The Robert Glasper Experiment teamed up with Stefon Harris and Pete Rock to perform a tribute set to the legendary Roy Ayers.  The Experiment flipped their own twist on Ayers’ vast catalog while Pete Rock threw some hip-hop into the mix, leading the band into hip hop classics that sampled Ayers.  It was an incredible evening and is near the top of my list as far as shows I’ve seen this year.  Here are a few songs from the evening, courtesy of our exclusive recording.

    Incredible! Thanks for throwing it up! I can hear elements of Roy Ayers’ “A Tear To A Smile”about two- thirds through the unknown track. I guess it’s their take on it.
