Its always regrettable when a talented jazz improviser puts jazz on the back burner, and thats exactly what Roy Ayers did when he made soul and funk his primary emphasis in the late 70s. As a jazz vibist, Ayers showed great potential in the 60s and early 70s, so its understandable that jazz lovers were sorry to see him give up instrumental jazz. But when jazz purists claimed that Ayers soul/funk output was worthless, they were dead wrong. The truth is that while Lets Do It doesnt have much to offer from a jazz standpoint, its an excellent R&B outing. Ayers and Ubiquity are as appealing on the infectious funk hit Freaky Deaky as they are on Kiss, You Came Into My Life, and other examples of mellow, relaxed quiet storm music. While the LPs more mellow offerings have jazz overtones, its important to realize that theyre R&B tunes first and foremost -- saying that something is jazzy is not the same as calling it jazz. Lets Do It isnt the place to go looking for either acoustic jazz or electric jazz-fusion, but its well worth obtaining if youre interested in 70s soul/funk. Tracks: 01. Lets Do It (Ayers-Allen) - 5:27 02. Melody Maker (Allen) - 5:04 03. When Is Real Real? (Ayers-Kinnard) - 8:07 04. Sweet Tears (Ayers-Weaver) - 6:46 05. You Came into My Life (Ayers-Ayers-Ayers III) - 4:06 06. Freaky Deaky (Birdsong-Ayers) - 5:34 07. Kiss (Ayers) - 4:23
