He's Coming is all about the way vibraphonist Roy Ayers conjures up moods through his jazz-funk grooves. The set kicks off with the street-smart, blaxploitation style of "He's a Superstar," before dipping into a mellow zone with a smooth instrumental cover of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." The slinky "Ain't Got Time" builds into a soulful celestial paean about "the war for freedom," while the taut and funky "We Live in Brooklyn, Baby" adds steel to the album.
