In 2024, Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber celebrates their twenty-fifth year of “never playing anything the same way once.” As always, BSAC gives tribute to their sonic Sensei, Maestro Lawrence Butch Morris (1947-2013) for showing them “THE WAY” of Conducted Improvisation; to their founder Gregory Stephen “Ironman” Tate (1957-2021) for imagining and constructing their caramelized spaceship that with Jared Michael Nickerson’s bubble bass and leadership allows BSAC hella bumpy travels through a many-splendored celestial realm of cosmic noise and riddims. As Greg Tate used to say BSAC is “a territory band, a neo-tribal thang, a community hang, a society music guild aspiring to the condition of all that is molten, glacial, racial, spacial, oceanic, mythic, antiphonal and telepathic.”
