Roy Ayers’ earlier work with fellow Los Angeles born Jazz woman Vi Redd. Excellent repost from @boringdadmusic! Please read their synopsis below. ・・・ Vi Redd – Birdcall. This might be a deep cut for some. Vi Redd released a couple of really great albums in the early 60’s and is under recorded. She is a very talented alto sax player who also did some vocal work. Birdcall was released in 1962 on United Artists Jazz. She has a pretty great backing band on here, Russ Freeman, Herb Ellis, Roy Ayers and more. Vi was active for 40 some years after this record and she is still with us at the ripe age of 93. My copy is a reissue on the very cool United Artist Jazz subsidiary label Solid State…I have a couple Chick Corea records on Solid State as well. #viredd #birdcall #unitedartistsjazz #solidstaterecords #herbellis #russfreeman #royayers #jazzvinyl #jazzvinylcollector #jazzvinylcollection #jazzvinyllovers #jazzvinyloftheday #nowspinning #royayersproject #royayersconnection https://www.instagram.com/p/CYrosevvq60/?utm_medium=tumblr

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to vocalist & sax player #ViRedd, born in Los Angeles on this day in 1928! Her 1963 LP "Lady Soul" is currently my favorite #jazz lp. Can't get enough of it! So solid! #LadiesInJazz #JazzSax https://www.instagram.com/p/B2pH5L7BQmb/?igshid=5f7k57rkl5bz
