Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chambre May 8, 2009

Formed in 1999, Burnt Sugar was conceived as a contemporary version of Miles Davis' Bitches Brew band, exploring the connective tissue binding jazz, rock, funk, twentieth century composition, and African music in a lyrical, seductive, exploratory, improvisational manner. Employing Conduction, an interpretative system for improvisers developed by Lawrence" Butch" Morris, bandleader Greg Tate guides the band through improvisations on each of its song forms.
