RONNY JORDAN

El estilo de este guitarrista londinense de orígen jamaicano, que es en justicia considerado como uno de los pioneros de sonido Acid Jazz desde aquel ya lejano 1992 en que viera la luz su primer disco (The Antidote), se desliza tomando como punto de referencia básico de su obra el jazz más depurado (su primer trabajo tiene una dedicatoria expresa a Wess Montgomery) para acabar «contaminándose» (y mucho) de buen funk, fusión y hip-hop, resultando una mezcla explosiva que no por recurrente en los autores de la escena AJ deja de resultar efectiva, máxime cuando es interpretada con el virtuosismo instrumental de Jordan y el elegantísimo talento que derrama este autor en cada uno de sus trabajos.

Greg Howe (born December 8, 1963) is an American guitarist, originally from Easton, Pennsylvania. He began his career on Mike Varney’s Shrapnel Records label in the 1980s, and emerged alongside other «shred» players such as Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Richie Kotzen, Tony MacAlpine and Vinnie Moore, among others.However, Howe soon developed a distinct style that was more rooted in jazz fusion than the neoclassical leanings of his contemporaries. This unique fusion of styles has become his trademark and easily distinguishes him from any other player working today. His style borrows heavily from the jazz sensibilities of Allan Holdsworth, but also mixes in a bluesy, groove-laden vibe and frequent use of odd time signatures.Howe is perhaps best known for his great skill at improvising.Apart from his solo career, Howe has established himself as a highly sought after session musician, having been hired by mainstream acts such as Michael Jackson, Enrique Iglesias, *NSYNC and Justin Timberlake to perform with them on tour.Greg Howe currently resides in Southern California. He is also a producer and guitar instructor.

ROY AYERS

Roy Ayers (Los Ángeles, 10 de septiembre de 1940), vibrafonista estadounidense de jazz, R&B y acid jazz. La música de Ayers tiene sus raíces estilísticas en el hard bop.Nacido en una familia musical (su padre tocaba el trombón y su madre le enseñó piano), Lionel Hampton le regaló a los cinco años un set de palos de vibráfono que empezaría a usar a los 17 años. Se sumergió en la escena del West Coast jazz al llegar a la veintena, grabando con Curtis Amy (1962), Jack Wilson (1963-1967) y con la Gerald Wilson Orchestra (1965-1966); y tocando con Teddy Edwards, Chico Hamilton, Hampton Hawes y Phineas Newborn. Una sesión con Herbie Mann en el Lighthouse en Hermosa Beach le llevó a colaborar con el versátil flautista durante cuatro años (1966-1970), una experiencia que le permitió abrirse a nuevos estilos musicales más allá del bebop.Tras participar brillantemente en el famoso disco de Mann Memphis Underground y grabar tres discos como solista para Atlantic bajo la supervisión del flautista, Ayers abandonó el grupo en 1970 para formar el Roy Ayers Ubiquity, que grabó varios discos para Polydor contando con artistas como Sonny Fortune, Billy Cobham, Omar Hakim y Alphonse Mouzon. Influenciados en principio por el Miles Davis eléctrónico y por el sexteto de Herbie Hancock Sextet, el grupo de Ayers fue abandonando progresivament el jazz para aproximarse al R&B/funk y a la música disco.
