Nabil Ayers is a multi-hyphenate musician and executive, record store owner and writer. And now he can add memoirist to the list. His first book, “My Life in the Sunshine: Searching for My Father and Discovering my Family” is out June 7 and tells his remarkable life story. Ayers is the the product of an unorthodox arrangement: His mother, a Jewish suburbanite from Long Island, wanted to become a single mom, unburdened by a man. So, naturally, she asked legendary jazz vibraphonist Roy Ayers to give her a baby and go away. In this wide-ranging interview, we discuss his life, his relationship to his father and his dynamic career.
