This summer Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids album, We Be All Africans is a treat to savour. Click here to listen to an introduction to the album. Alto sax player Idris Ackamoor formed the original Pyramids with Margo Simmons in the early 1. Mr Ackamoor went on to San Francisco and formed an extensive theatre, music and dance project in the Bay Area which is still operating decades later. The title track is a repeat refrain, as light on the ears as it is on the feet. Track 2 is Epiphany, and for me this is where I could spend a lot of time. There’s no vocal, this is Idris Ackamoor the saxophone player, bolstered by a band with a big electric bass (it’s not Richard Bona, but it could be), popping space synth, more horns and a chorus of drums which are still echoing Africa.

The other central track on this recording points to another strong influence. I will be hanging on to We Be All Africans. At a time when some people want to raise our borders, this joyous affirmation of a “common cradle” of humanity is refreshing. Steve Day www. stevedaywordsandmusic. Back to Top : What's New.

Actis Dato Quartet - Earth Is The Place Album Released: 2. June 2. 01. 5 - Label: Leo Records - Reviewed: September 2. Carlo Actis Dato (tenor & baritone saxophone, bass clarinet); Beppe Di Filippo (soprano & alto saxophone); Matteo Ravizza (double bass); Daniele Bertone (drums, percussion). I’ve always liked Carlo Actis Dato since I first encountered his dexterous horns nearly twenty years ago as part of the magnificent Italian Instabile Orchestra. When his Atipico Trio brought out their recording Allegro Con Brio ((Leo Records CD LR 4. I got to write the liner notes.

Carlo Actis Dato has clocked up a large amount of recordings for Leo, he’s also made a stack for the Italian label Splasc(h). What I do know is this: Earth Is The Place steps out like a brand new reason for bringing out another album. This band has all the vitality of a heady street pageant. Click here for a short sample. It’s easy to get caught up in the whole joyous paraphernalia of performance that goes with Actis Dato, to the point where it is possible to miss out on the seriously subtle interplay between four musicians of character. For instance the opening passage of Kerala has double bass and percussion carefully weaving baritone saxophone and soprano saxophone into a melodic thread, as if the two reeds were delicate gold embroidery. Contrast this piece with the opening two tracks Immigrati and Gipsy Cembalon which place the quartet in the mix between samba and tango and a liberal jaunt of calypso.

Carlo Actis Dato and his long time compatriot Beppe Di Filppo can often appear like jokers when in fact their music retains a grounded intent, albeit theatre is never far away. The title Earth Is The Place is a reference to Sun Ra’s Space Is The Place. Another musician whose dress sense and descriptions always belied the Mardi Gra’s procession. For instance the party that opens the first track, Immigrati, has at its central hub a roaringly rejoiner, this twisted tangle of a tenor solo becomes press- ganged by percussion. The pace is never dropped but the dialogue, what is actually coming out of the frontline, is closer to the confessional than these fun and games suggest.

The tactic is also applied to Himba, where what is beaten out is a touch- and- go treasure, hand drum to cymbal, rimshot to brush stroke. In- between all these bright melodies, seemingly bounced straight out of Actis Dato’s head, there is this desire to constantly change tack.

It’s impossible to ignore these guys, the implication of the next question is already being asked in what is currently happening. Click here for a video of the band playing Himba. At just over 7. 0 minutes in length Earth Is The Place is value for money. But it doesn’t feel long for the sake of it. At track 9 we have already gone through the fifty minute mark; 1 2. Sosia Saddam begins with a bowed bass solo, deep dark wood wired.
