Description

BRIC and Downtown Brooklyn Partnership are proud to co-present a FREE outdoor concert on The Plaza @ 300 Ashland. Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber Founded by recently and dearly missed Village Voice icon Greg "Ionman" Tate (1957-2021) and co-led with/and now led by Dayton Ohio “bubble” groove bassist Jared Michael Nickerson, Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber is a sprawling band of musicians whose prodigious personnel allows to freely juggle a wide swath of the experimental soul-jazz-hip hop spectrum. Over the years Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber has made music, broken bread, and covered thousands of road dogg miles worldwide with a host of alumni badasses among them: Somi, Vijay Iyar, Julia Kent, Jeremiah Abiah, Rene Akan, Marc Cary, Honeychild Coleman, Pete Cosey, Morgan Michael Craft, Latasha Nevada Diggs and many more. In 2022 Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber celebrates more than two decades of 'never playing anything the same way once'. As always, they give tribute to their sonic Sensei, The Maestro Lawrence Butch Morris (1947--2013) for showing them THE WAY of Conducted Improvisation.
