Over a year since the first instalment, volume 2 finally hits the shops. Thirteen tracks spread over three 12″s, it looks as beautiful as all the previous BBE releases and the inner sleeve notes give you a background to all the tracks. BBE is all about the attention to detail. Roy Ayers has released so much ground breaking music over the last 30 years, it amazes me that these have been left on the shelf until now. I won’t list specific tracks for you because you need to hear them all and while you’re at it, dig out Volume 1 again.
