Here’s a killer set from Soulive at New York’s Bowery Ballroom. The second track features Charlie Hunter. Sorry, I don’t know many details about this one. I don’t know what year, though I would guess it’s between 1999-2001? Do you know? This appears to be from a Japanese TV broadcast, but I can’t say much beyond that except that . . . DUDE!

I can’t believe I haven’t posted this sooner, but I saw someone mention it the other day on Twitter and it was like I was hit with a lightning-bolt need for some unreleased (as far as I know) Prince instrumental tracks from 1977.
Prince was about 19 years old here and plays organ on these tracks. He is accompanied by Prince, Andre Cymone on bass, and Bobby Z on drums. These recordings are dated about a year before Prince’s first “official” album, For You. They are generally known as the “Loring Park Sessions ‘77” but there is a version floating around called “Husney’s: A Work In Progress,” and frankly, I enjoy the artwork for that one, so that’s what I’ve included in the download. Feel free to replace it or create your own or both.
Download mp3 files and the “Husney’s: A Work In Progress” artwork here.
Anyways, enjoy this early, funky Prince:
“Exploring the outer limits of jazz since the 1970s.”
Get your cosmic-soul-space-jazz-groove on with a couple of live performances by the Idris Ackamoor & the Pyramids.
First up, a 15-minute journey called ‘Virgin’ live for Music City Sessions in 2019.
Next up is the title-track to the 2016 album “We Be All Africans” performed in 2015 for Unseen Recordings, followed by an interview segment about touring oversees, etc.:
Strut Records put out the band’s 2016 album and posted the following video. There is no song information, but Strut says: “here’s a taste of the original Pyramids experience from a 1975 KQED TV special.”
I don’t remember anything about this band, but I dig this 2004 set at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, MA and apparently, I helped upload it to the Live Music Archive in 2004. Sorry, but apparently in 2004, I didn’t know how to title the files. But we do have the show information.
I don’t think this band is still around, but I’d like to be proven wrong. Funky soul with groove galore. The perfect soundtrack to your late Summer cookout jam.

Unfortunalety there is some distortion in parts. It was recorded off the board into a four track but the gain was just a little too high.
