Idris Ackamoor & Pyramids - Shaman

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. Influential jazz collective Idris Ackamoor and The Pyramids return with an epic opus, Shaman!, featuring a fresh line-up including original 1970s Pyramids member Dr. Margaux Simmons on flute, Bobby Cobb on guitar, long-term associate Sandra Poindexter on violin, Ruben Ramos on bass, Gioele Pagliaccia on drums and Jack Yglesias on percussion. The band transitions from the political and social commentaries of 2018's acclaimed 'An Angel Fell' into more introspective themes. ""I wanted to use this album to touch on some of the issues that we all face as individuals in the inner space of our souls and our conscience,"" explains Ackamoor. ""The album unfolds over four Acts with personal musical statements about love and loss, mortality, the afterlife, family and salvation.""
