Shaman! Ackamoor, Idris & the Pyramids

Influential jazz collective Idris Ackamoor and The Pyramids retu rn with an epic new

opus, 'Shaman!', released on 7th August featuring a fresh line-up including original

1970s Pyramids member Dr. Margaux Simmons on flute, Bobby Cobb on guitar, longterm

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 f ace 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, mort ality, the afterlife, family

and salvation."
