“Ackamoor’s name might now be spoken with the same hushed reverence afforded such other cosmic travelers as Alice Coltrane, Don Cherry & Pharaoh Sanders.”
Jefre Cantu-Ledesma,  Urim and Thumim Web review

The performance repertoire will be original compositions of Ackamoor and Harris as well as world music, the new age sounds of flutes, mbiras, bells, invented instruments, and other meditative and spiritual jazz sounds inspired and influenced by John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, Pharaoh Sanders, Alice Coltrane, Art Ensemble of Chicago, and Sun Ra.

This is free concert, so reservations are suggested. For reservations call, 707 431-1970 between 11 am – 5 pm. Walk-up will depend on space availability.

“His [Ackamoor’s] compositions incorporated intercontinental and cosmic sources, opening passages into boundless periods and locales, each one seemingly unearthed from futuristic sarcophagi.” – Sam Ada, Fader Magazine
