American vibraphonist, record producer and composer Roy Ayers has passed away aged 85 - RIP.

I was lucky enough to see him perform three times - these photos are from the Womad Festival in Wiltshire UK, 2009. But my best memory was him and a three piece band playing in a small basement called The Magnet here in Liverpool to a crowd of about 200 people - brilliant.

If you want to use these images please contact me for licencing - thanks
