Brooklyn and beyond!

What’s up y’all, it’s fall and as the squir­rels know, have to have those chest­nuts pop­pin.
Burnt Sugar has been blessed with upcom­ing hits at the Dywer Cul­tural Cen­ter in Harlem; York Col­lege in Queens; the Blue Note in Man­hat­tan, whew!
The new year blazes in with a Jan­u­ary Joe’s Pub hit with a Sweet­back guest; fol­lowed by  two work-in progress show­ings at BRIC Stu­dio in Feb­ru­ary; topped off with a trip to Paris for the world-debut as Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Cham­ber becomes the 23rd-century Earth Wind & Fire up in here!

And that leads up to what we are up to this com­ing Sun­day and Monday!!.…

Terri’s Music Blog - Tues­day, August 25, 2009 — Burnt Sugar @ Joe’s Pub 8/22/09
“I walked up at 9:30 (show­time) and bought a ticket. The band was still get­ting sit­u­ated and didn’t start until about 9:45 — 9:50. There were so many of them, some­thing like 17–20 musi­cians. The 2 key­boards had to be on the floor, by the stage. There was a seg­ment when the trom­bone player was stand­ing off­stage, behind the cur­tain, and play­ing the trom­bone through the cur­tain, effec­tively onstage. That’s how crowded it was up there.

And it was off the hook. From start to fin­ish, fab­u­lous. It was tight in the crowd, too. I didn’t know if I was going to be able to stay at first. I was feel­ing claus­tro­pho­bic. They shouldn’t have had the stools at the bar. But once the music started, there was no pry­ing me out of there. It was incred­i­ble. That huge ensem­ble really put it out until they had to get off the stage at 11. I have to make a point of see­ing them more often. That’s how I left, want­ing more, more, more.“
