Its hard to think of another jazz musician, outside of George Benson, who has released as many high level pop jazz recordings as Ramsey Lewis. Ramsey is probably one of the top pianists of the modern jazz era, but he has always been more of a crowd pleaser than an adventurer, but that doesn’t mean his playing is light weight at all. “Ivory Pyramid”, released in 1992, is typical of Lewis’ repertoire with masterful renditions of tunes he wrote plus a few covers.
The second part of Cobham's brilliant 1992 live performance in Tokyo with bassist Ira Coleman and pianist Joe Chindamo. Drummers and jazz aficionados worldwide will not want to miss these breathtaking performances by the man many call the greatest drummer of all-time!
Pyramid is the third album by progressive rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released in 1978. It is a concept album centred on the pyramids of Giza. At the time the album was conceived, interest in pyramid power and Tutankhamun was widespread in the US and the UK. Pyramid was nominated for the 1978 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
World class fusion drummer, and one of the most celebrated modern jazz musicians of all-time, presents this phenomenal live album recorded in Tokyo 1992! This incredible show finds Cobham working his percussive magic in a trio with bassist Ira Coleman and keyboardist Joe Chindamo!

Glad to pick such a tempting album up, and simultaneously glad to bump into such a promising combo. An Ontario- oriented unit PYRAMID THEOREM (the moniker is good too!) founded in 2006 are apparently influenced by Progressive Metal vanguard Dream Theater and Heavy Prog ambassador Rush, especially upon playing style and dreamy composition…
