Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Music Reviews
The film that gave Pam Grier her first leading role and vaulted her to queen bee of the blaxploitation movement also inspired a soundtrack that is arguably Roy Ayers's most rewarding work. Grier plays a disgruntled nurse who goes "underground" to exact revenge on the pusher men who put the monkey on her junkie sister's back. Ayers matches her step for gun-totin' step with crisp, percolating drum lines; colorful ripples of electric piano; and his signature, lissome vibe work. Ayers' twin talents--the head-scratching virtuosity of his jazz runs and the ass-shaking grooves of his R&B rhythms--are in full flower on this recording. But Coffy is more than an acid-jazz archetype. The classically inspired solo harpsichord piece and the wack auxiliary percussion freak-out also included here hint at a deeper pool of inspiration that Ayers would rarely return to again. --Matt Hanks

        5 out of 5 stars Get your Coffy today!.......2000-05-31

        This is my favorite Pam Grier movie! I got this soundtrack a couple of years ago from Amazon. It's a wonderful soundtrack that is full of variety. If you loved "Coffy" the movie, then your will love the soundtrack. Nothing id left out. (even the creepy harpsicord music) The key tracks are the COFFY is the COLOR, Coffy Baby and King George (he's a pimp. He's a pusher). What a great find!

        5 out of 5 stars Full Of Flavor.......2000-05-16

        This is Worth The Money&then some.Roy Ayers The Great Genius that he is Sets the Pace Right on this Set.Not Only Do I Love The Movie but the Music goes Hand&Hand.Very Essential&a Must.the Arrangements,Production&Musicianship are Incredible here.

        5 out of 5 stars Amazing music! Makes ya think of lusciuos hookers!.......1999-09-16

        "Coffy" has been one of my favorite movies for a very long time and I would have dreams of owning a copy of the soundtrack, and guess what, dreams DO come true! Although a bit pricey, worth every damn penny! Move over Shaft and Superfly, every track is pure quality jazz, for real, Roy Ayers is a genious. Another good thing is that it's not overplayed like the other two soundtracks mentioned (why is released in Japan and not here?). It's great mood music, especially for playing cards and cocktail parties, everyone loves it (and if they don't, they need to go!). The best tracks I believe are Aragon (as heard in "Jackie Brown"), Coffy is the Color, Coffy Baby and, of course, King George. Please do not look past this treasure!

        5 out of 5 stars Quintessential Ayers.......1999-07-02

        I'm big Roy Ayers fan and own many of his recordings on vinyl, including a terribly scratched up version of Coffy, so I was thrilled to be able to find this import CD. Kind of spendy, but worth it. BTW: The movie's great too.
