| Excerpt from the booklet: |
This, the second
CD by the Roy Campbell Jr. PYRAMID TRIO, is a festive celebration
both musically and historically. It is the first CD by the ´original´
PYRAMID TRIO. The first CD, Communion on Silkheart Records featured
Reggie Nicholson on drums.
The PYRAMID TRIO began in 1984 with performances at Inroads
and the Shuttle Theatre in New York City. Over the years various
wonderful musicians have played in the group such as drummers
Reggie Nicholson, Susie Ibarra, Sadiq Abdus Shahid and bassists
Tyler Mitchell, Reuben Radding, Eugene Cooper and Wilber Morris.
Many years have past while the music developed and followed
a natural course of evolution. The music of the PYRAMID TRIO
is based on World Universal Music, composed and improvised.
I would like to thank God, William Parker and Zen Matsuura for
their music, patience and faith. Thanks to Steve Dalachinsky.
Most of all, thanks to Alan Schneider, Andrei Strobert and all
of our audience. |

(…) A unique
version of style, text, line, song, art, invention, philosophy,
exile and joy. Three modern men on the margins of a still mad
and primitive souped up world … and singing its praises
none-the-less.
This music it hits you like the wind…you catch it in your
hand like a leaf… you swim in it like the sand … you
dwell in it like the clouds … you chew on it like a stone
… you swallow it like the sun … you digest it like
the stars … you grasp it like ……. And that´s
when it all begins. |
