its just good music. Roy Ayers mastered the vibraphone after he was given a pair of mallets at the age of five. From that point on, the vibraphone or vibe became his trademark sound, as exemplified in this masterpiece. Searching is from the album Vibrations, released on Polydor in 1976. Listening to this song will immediately add about 10 points of coolness to your soul.
BTW, Roy has some recordings with Fela Kuti, more to come on that.
