Roy Ayers Booking Agency Profile

Book Roy Ayers for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Once one of the most visible and winning jazz vibraphonists of the 1960s, then an R&B bandleader in the 1970s and '80s, Roy Ayers' reputation is now that of one of the prophets of acid jazz, a man decades ahead of his time. A tune like 1972's ""Move to Groove"" by the Roy Ayers Ubiquity has a crackling backbeat that serves as the prototype for the shuffling hip-hop groove that became, shall we say, ubiquitous on acid jazz records; and his relaxed 1976 song ""Everybody Loves the Sunshine"" has been frequently sampled. Yet Ayers' own playing has always been rooted in hard bop: crisp, lyrical, rhythmically resilient. His own reaction to being canonized by the hip-hop crowd as the ""Icon Man"" is tempered with the detachment of a survivor in a rough business. ""I'm having fun laughing with it,"" he has said. ""I don't mind what they call me, that's what people do in this industry."".

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Roy Ayers to perform.

Will Roy Ayers do a virtual event?
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Roy Ayers in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Roy Ayers or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Is Roy Ayers available to work my event?
Roy Ayers's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Roy Ayers for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Roy Ayers, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Roy Ayers. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
How much is Roy Ayers charging for events?
CTI can give you the accurate Roy Ayers booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Roy Ayers for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Roy Ayers booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Roy Ayers charge for an event. An example fee to book Roy Ayers is in the starting range of $7,500-$14,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
How do I contact the Roy Ayers agent or manager?
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Roy Ayers agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Roy Ayers manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
Can I book Roy Ayers for an event at a price less than shown?
There is low probability to book Roy Ayers for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Roy Ayers agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Roy Ayers, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Roy Ayers booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Roy Ayers, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
