about

‘Angels Over Oakanda,’ which gives the album its name, was recorded in Brooklyn with a full complement of the current gigging and touring Burnt Sugar instrumental band.

Activating a 140 bpm groove-loop by Tate for its rhythmic and ‘ill-bient’ foundation, the group launches on a dizzying 18-minute journey of extemporaneous conjuration — one directed and disciplined under Tate’s baton by their seasoned deployment of their late sensei Lawrence Butch Morris’ Conduction System for Ensemble, practicing what Ornette Coleman called ‘The Art of the Improvisors.’

The players in the room on that audacious day were Lewis Flip Barnes TRUMPET; Avram Fefer ALTO SAX; V. Jeffrey Smith TENOR SAX; Moist Paula BARITONE SAX; Ben Tyree & André Lassalle ELECTRIC GUITARS; Leon Gruenbaum FENDER RHODES; Jared Michael Nickerson ELECTRIC BASS & PERCUSSION; Greg Gonzalez DRUMS & PERCUSSION; Shelley Nicole PERCUSSION.

Supplemental compositional material was later developed in the home studios of V. Jeffrey Smith TENOR & SOPRANO SAX; and Satch Hoyt FLUTE and worked into the final mix.

about

Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber New York, New York

BURNT SUGAR is a neo-tribal thang, aspiring to the condition of all that is molten, glacial, spacial, telepathic.
''A multiracial jam army that freestyles with cool telekinesis between the lustrous menace of Miles Davis’ On The Corner, the slash-and-om of 1970s King Crimson, and Jimi Hendrix’ moonwalk across side three of Electric Ladyland.”- David Fricke, Rolling Stone.
