If you know anything about hip-hop or jazz you know that Thursday's Roy Ayers show at Exchange L.A. is not to be missed. Beyond a rare hometown performance from the prophet of jazz-funk Ayers–one of the most sampled artists in hip-hop, playing a special set with pioneering producer Pete Rock and a full band–you also get cosmic jazz from bass master Thundercat, a world class DJ set from beat junkie J. Rocc, and mind-blowing psychedelic visuals from Brainfeeder's a/v wizard Strangeloop. Lounge DJs include Anthony Valadez, Clifton Weaver, Destroyer, Lee Joseph and Marlon Fuentes, and KCRW's Garth Trinidad hosts.
