Hi I've been trying to find out who played bass on Roy Ayers Classic "Running Away"?

Many thanks for any sort of answer.

I've been wondering about this since I first picked up a bass in Jr. High. Kind of cool to know

William Allen

great bassist but unreal songwriter. his playing with Roy is awesome, supports the songs and occasionally does some melodic playing. but I've recently realized that the vast majority of Ubiquity/Ayers tunes that I love were all written by Allen. He seems to excel at the mid-tempo burners and ballads (which I love).

love and respect to William.

Good link on the Ubiquity album. I posted what was on the Double Trouble album and I know Ronnie played with Roy live for some time. Pardon my confusing the issue.

Thank you for the information - markjazzbassist - absolutely with you man - been listening to a lot of Roy Ayers tracks recently and the bass playing is awesome (especially on the mid-tempo burners & ballards)
