Strut

Spiritual Afro-jazz-influenced ensemble founded by three musicians in Paris in 1972. The members met at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio and were students of a renowned jazz musician. The group recorded three independent albums in the 1970s before disbanding in 1977.
After years apart, the group reformed and began releasing new music on a well-known label in 2016. They not only reissued their classic albums from the 1970s but also shared previously unreleased recordings.
Experience the captivating sound of The Pyramids as they blend spirituality, jazz, and African influences into their unique musical style.

Meticulously curated box sets featuring exceptional audio quality, stunning visuals, and exclusive bonus content. Explore genres, eras, and artists to find the perfect addition to your collection.

Box Sets

Strut present the first box set release to bring together the 1970s recordings of The Pyramids, led by Idris Ackamoor. As students at Antioch College, Ohio, alto saxophonist Idris Ackamoor, flautist Margaux Simmons and bass player Kimathi Asante created three lasting monuments in sound - Lalibela, King of Kings, and Birth / Speed / Merging, a trio of albums produced without any label backing or distribution between 1972 and 1976. Their music is unique among the varied canon of avant-garde and experimental music of 1970s America: high intensity African-styled percussion topped with songs, chants, and horns, laced with African instruments and arranged into long, flowing suites that surge and roll.
