This workshop gives you the chance to learn from some of the last
true masters from the heydays of "cosmic" jazz: Led by the
restless Idris Ackamoor a bunch of pupils of free jazz legend
Cecil Taylor at Ohio's Antioch College used a student grant to
escape the US to travel to europe and then all over Africa as
early as 1972, playing and recording with local musicians wherever
possible. Back in the US, The Pyramids incorporated their African
experience into a music which is as unique as visionary, releasing
three albums in private press before disbanding in 1977. Almost
thirty years later the musicians regrouped, encouraged by the fact
that new audiences and a new generation of especially electronic
music producers had enthusiastically embraced their "old" music -
The Pyramids have been cited as a major influence and sampled by
luminaries like Flying Lotus, Caribou, Gilles Peterson and Bonobo.<br>
<br>
About the workshop:<br>
<br>
Since the earliest times music has been used to create community,
heal, worship, create ceremony and as a vehicle to pass on the
knowledge and history of the tribe/community. In those early times
the line between performer and audience did not usually exist. The
audience WAS the performer and the performer WAS the audience.
Enter the 21st Century. There are now concert halls, clubs and art
spaces that separate the performer from the audience with members
sometimes sitting hundreds of feet from the stage! The atmosphere
can be impersonal and non-inclusive. "Music is the Healing Force
of the Universe Community Workshop" encourages new creative ways
of engaging the public by blurring the distinctions between
audience, musician and non-musician, professional performer and
nonprofessional, and exploring new and unusual space for
performances. The target audience for the workshop will be
professional and nonprofessional members from the general
community, as well as, "closet" musicians and singers. All musical
levels are encouraged to attend with compositional structures and
improvisation tailored to fit the individual needs of the workshop
participants. The foundation of the workshop will be based on the
compositions of instructor, Idris Ackamoor, as well as members of
The Pyramids.<br>
<br>
The two day workshop at NK on May 22 and 23 will culminate in a
mutual performance of Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids and the
workshop participants on June 13 at this year's Torstrassen
Festival.<br>
