kc Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Definitely one of the highlights of last year for me at Pepper Jack's. This "arkestra" exceeded the hype at their Hamilton show. The Guelph Jazz fest has now caught on and is sponsoring their Toronto Lula Lounge show as well as their 2 appearances at this years Guelph Jazz Fest. There will be 14 of them this time. Probably the biggest band to ever play Pepper Jack's. Check them out! PJC presents New York City's BURNT SUGAR THE ARKESTRA CHAMBER Friday, September 5th Special guests: Sherlocke Groove Advance tickets $12, $15 at the door. @ Pepper Jack's 38 King William St. Hamilton http://www.pepperjackcafe.com http://www.burntsugarindex.com http://www.myspace.com/burntsugarthearkestrachamber Gregory S. Tate - conduction/guitar/laptop Lisala - vocals Justice Dilla-X - vocals Mikel Banks - vocals/freak-a-phone Mazz Swift - vocals/violin Lewis "Flip" Barnes Jr. - trumpet Micah Gaugh - alto sax Dave Smith - trombone Paula Henderson - bari-sax Bruce Mack - keyboards Rene Akan - guitar Jared Michael Nickerson - electric bass Trevor Holder - drums New York City's Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber have been described as a Miles Davis Bitches Brew for the 21st century with players conversant in a plethora of post-modern musical tongues. A post-everything fusion orchestra. The 14 member band includes 2 vocalist virtuosos, 2 drummers, 2 bassists, a full-on brass and wind section that includes 2 bari, 2 alto, and 2 tenor saxophones, trumpet, trombone, bass clarinet, flute, tuba and occasionally even turntables and didgeridoo. "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.
