about

Due to content-length limitations imposed by vinyl, this ‘Oakanda Overdrive’ is the full length, free-bopping, chamber-ensemble-approached, sonic-groidd child of Jared Michael Nickerson that can only be listened to and purchased on Bandcamp.

This composition features Jared’s supernatural bass virtuosity, chopped & screwed reed-section scribe and ‘Black Moses’ arrangement savvy, along with the solo horn prowess of V. Jeffrey Smith in whose ‘lab’, Jamcarver Studios, the composition was inculcated.

Smith, a co-founder of The Family Stand, is also a co-composer of their international hit ‘Ghetto Heaven’; and is known for his tenor playing on all of Billy Ocean’s Eighties hits including the Grammy-award-winning-number-one-Billboard-charting-classic ‘Caribbean Queen’, which also shows up frequently on lists giving love to the greatest sax solos in pop music history.

Nickerson and his bass have toured with Bernie Worrell, Katel Keineg, The The, Wadada Leo Smith, Catie Curtis, Marshall Crenshaw and Melvin Van Peebles with a recording portfolio that includes Grammy-nominated Charlie Musselwhite’s ‘Sanctuary’, Freedy Johnston’s 1992 Robert Christgau dubbed “a perfect album” ‘Can You Fly’ and Gary Lucas’s first Gods & Monsters release.

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.
