So, yes. The usual suspects - the legends you expect - are present and accounted for in my next book, Vintage Black Glamour: Gentlemen’s Quarters. But! So are the legends you weren’t expecting - like the one and the only Roy Ayers. Composer. Singer. Vibraphonist. Genius. Did you know that he lives in James Baldwin’s old apartment in Harlem? Where else would a genius live?! I had a hard time deciding which chapter to place Mr. Ayers in - Virtuosos? Iconoclasts? Visionaries? I finally decided on Maestros. That’s what I get for trying to categorize a genius. http://vintageblackglamourbook.com/
