Strut<\/strong> presents the influential jazz collective Idris Ackamoor and The Pyramids<\/strong> return with an epic new opus, \u201cShaman!<\/strong>\u201d, featuring a fresh line-up including original 1970s Pyramids<\/strong> 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\u2019s acclaimed \u201cAn Angel Fell\u201d into more introspective themes. \u201cI 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,\u201d explains Ackamoor<\/strong>. \u201cThe album unfolds over four Acts with personal musical statements about love and loss, mortality, the afterlife, family and salvation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evolving around Ackamoor<\/strong>‘s intricate compositions, the album takes us effortlessly across moods and emotions through a series of expansive, extended pieces. Starting with ritual, soul-searching, and masculine vulnerability on the title track, the band explores timeless existence on \u2018Eternity\u2019 and mourns the sudden loss of loved ones in the prescient \u2018When Will I See You Again?\u2019, a track which gains new relevance amidst the current COVID-19 crisis. Ackamoor<\/strong> pays tribute to his mentor Cecil Taylor on the angular \u2018Theme For Cecil\u2019 and renders homage to the ancestors on \u2018Salvation\u2019 and \u2018The Last Slave Ship\u2019, recalling the last ship to bring slaves to the US from Africa, the Clotilda. The superb \u2018Virgin\u2019 is an anthem of forgiveness, new beginnings and self-healing.<\/p>\n

\u201cShaman!<\/strong>\u201dmarks another significant landmark in The Pyramids<\/strong>‘ discography with the band at the peak of their powers. It is produced by Malcolm Catto at his analogue HQ, Quatermass Studio, in London. Cover artwork features an exclusive new painting by Japanese artist Tokio Aoyama.<\/p>\n
