Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids
In 2016, California-based tenor saxophonist Idris Ackamoor relaunched his 1970s spiritual-jazz band, The Pyramids, and released a corking new album, We Be All Africans on Strut Records. In spring 2018, he has released another outstanding disc with another almost entirely new line-up. The only musician who is held over from We Be All Africans is violinist Sandra Poindexter, who has replaced Ackamoor's 1970s frontline foil, flautist Margo Simmons. Poindexter's gritty playing, which harks back to the pioneering work of Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians violinist Leroy Jenkins, makes for a perfect fit with Ackamoor's broken-notes and vocalizations. Founded nearly fifty years ago in 1972, dissolved in 1977 and then resurrected more than 30 years later in 2007, this band presents new directions of synthesis of world music and jazz influences, combining them into a uniform, innovative sound.
