Idris Ackamoor and Kojey Radical

Max Reinhardt presents a special collaboration session between celebrated San Francisco bandleader Idris Ackamoor and up-and-coming London poet Kojey Radical.

Max Reinhardt presents a collaboration session between legendary San Francisco bandleader Idris Ackamoor and upcoming London poet Kojey Radical.

Ackamoor is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, tap dancer, and theatre maker who made his name at Antioch College, Ohio, as part of Cecil Taylor's Black Music Ensemble. Radical is an avant-garde poet, MC, dancer and film-maker who broke through on radio in 2016. Never having worked together before, the pair of them spent a day at the 麻豆约拍's Maida Vale studios to create something unique and new, combining each of their disciplines, supported by five members of Ackamoor's jazz band the Pyramids, and Radical's musical director Michael W O.

Produced by Jack Howson for Reduced Listening.
