Making Love to the Dark Ages

2009 : LiveWired

Burnt Sugar's first studio recording in 5 years in celebration of the band's 10 year anniversary. A tasty mix of history and contemporary. A spicy blend of jazz, improv, innovation and composition. A cornucopia of sound embedded in the process of creativity: hot, sweet, and a little burnt on the edges.

Blood On the Leaf

“With a name like Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber, Greg Tate’s latest project conjures up everything from funk, jazz and rock to the avant-garde world of Sun Ra and the hard-hitting hip-hop of the Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Yet when the band delves into the three-part album opener, “Chains and Water,” they first hit you with a blend of Delta blues and modern soul, propelled by the saucy vocals of Lisala”
