“Sugar” lay unissued for many years, before finally seeing the light of day on BBE’s 2003 set of previously unheard Roy Ayers’ recordings, Virgin Ubiquity. It was later remixed by Dave Lee under his familiar Joey Negro pseudonym, and here gets the multi-track edit treatment from French scalpel specialist The Reflex. He typically does a good job of building energy and excitement throughout the vocal version’s seven-minute duration, showcasing different instruments (vibraphone, horns, bass, guitars) and the track’s alternating male and female vocals, in the manner of Tom Moulton or Walter Gibbons. The accompanying instrumental is tasty, too, but lacks a little of the vocal revision’s soulful charm.
