A few years ago WHOV the campus radio station for Hampton University started releasing tracks from volumes l and ll of this collection. This was an unspooling of Ubiquity and its talents to the full. It seems like on much of this Roy retreats into the background and lets the other musicians do their thing. This is jazz with a strong disco and funk influence. My standout track is I Did It In Seattle. I have enjoyed what little of this that I've managed to hear.

When is this going to be reissued? Volume I was some months ago.
