Idris Ackamoor and the Pyramids

“Exploring the outer limits of jazz since the 1970s.”

“Founded 45 years ago by 3 Antioch College students, Idris Ackamoor, Margaux Simmons, and Kimathi Asante, and resurrected after a more than 30-year hiatus the band is experiencing more acclaim and success than ever! With the 2016 release of the band’s fifth full-length album We Be All Africans, on Strut Records, the group is now creating a new history and a new legacy for the 21st Century.”
