What better way to start the end of the second summer of Double XX than to do an episode honoring the women of Reggae music. The history of this genre goes much deeper than the likes of the iconic artist Bob Marley (though his contribution to the world of music is undeniable), so we are putting the spotlight on the women who have helped make Reggae music what it is today!

Roy Ayers was a visionary composer, musician, bandleader, vibraphonist, and vocalist. He forged a powerful and unique blend of jazz, funk, R&B, rap, and soul that was all his own. His music was brilliant, sounded amazing, and grooved like crazy. He died at the age of 84 in March of 2025.
