Formed in 1972, The Pyramids remain one of the last surviving bridges between spiritual jazz’s radical past and its expanding future. Through Idris Ackamoor’s direction, The Pyramids evolved into a transcontinental ensemble rooted in rhythm, liberation, and collective improvisation. Their live performances channel the same exploratory spirit that continues to shape contemporary jazz, experimental music, and Afro-diasporic sound culture across generations.
