With their appealing jazz-funk fusion and proto-acid jazz jams, Roy Ayers Ubiquity had some winning moments in the 1970s. One of them, "Running Away," can be found on 1977's LIFELINE. A disco-infused dance hit, "Running Away" works a burbling groove that induces shimmying and shaking upon first listen. Some of that magic spills over into the other tracks on LIFELINE, though the album suffers some from dated production and concessions to the trends of the time. Even so, Ayer's tasteful vibes work keeps things cooking, as does the funky playing of his ensemble.Mojo (Publisher) (p.121) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'This Side Of Sunshine' is a gorgeous summer-vibed opener, while the propulsive, party groove, 'Cincinnati Growl' shows off Ayers' vibes prowess."

Lifeline Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Ole skool Roy Ayers
Always one of my favorite Roy Ayers albums. "This Side Of Sunshine" does shine! And you can't go wrong with "Gotta Find A Lover". Now if they can come out with the "Vibrations" album on CD, I'll be set.

5 stars still Hot
Roy Ayers remained true to his Jazz Roots while providing a glimpse of his R&B past. Still hot for both Jazz and R&B enthusiasts.
