Roy Ayers Project: Who is Roy Ayers (Music by Tall Black Guy)

I'd heard about the Roy Ayers Project some time ago, but wasn't really certain as to what it was about. Well, today I'm a bit more clear. From the looks of the video, the project will be a documentary aimed at celebrating the works and influences of great jazz/soul musician, Roy Ayers. From as early as I can remember his classic, "Sunshine" has been one of his greatest works to get sampled and reworked by a number of artists: Brand Nubian, Masta Ace, Mary J Blige, Common, Trendz of Culture and more. What's so great about this video is director and producer Haylow Overby
 recognizes the talents of my dude Tall Black Guy. That's his vibe providing the backdrop! Big ups to TBG for reaching new levels every time.
