Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber - Angels Over Oakanda (Digital Edition) - the new album is out today

Founded by Village Voice icon/Black Rock Coalition founder Greg “Ionman” Tate (who served as a commentator in the Summer of Soul documentary) and co-led with Dayton, Ohio monster groove bassist Jared Michael Nickerson (Bernie Worrell, The The, WadadaLeo Smith, Katell Keineg and Melvin Van Peebles, etc.), Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber is a forum for New York City’s improvisational musicians to  compose, record, and perform an eclectic range of music.

Angels Over Oakanda is a unique body of compositions that draws upon the high bar of creativity and musicianship within the ensemble in unprecedented ways.

About his lyrics Tate says, ‘’The verses pay an abstract homage to the ghost-lineage of American born Black radical artists and activists — from those of the transatlantic trafficked who sustained their humanity and mind, body soul throughout that 90-day ‘’Auschwitz on the water’’ (per Arthur Jafa) horror-show, to the Maroon communities of Black and Indigenous freedom fighters of Florida who created free nation-states in fugitivity, fighting off the US Army for 30 years (at the height of chattel slavery, and beyond), to the 60’s modern warrior formations of the Freedom Riders, The Black Panther Party, Black Liberation Army, The Black Arts Movement (led by Amiri Baraka), and the Republic of New Africa who helped free Assata Shakur.

Lisala took Tate’s stark lines and gave them a buoyant melodicism, at once “anthemic, aspirational, spiritual, operatic, and Afro-Angelical.’’

Jeff's public memorial service: August 1, 1997 at St. Ann's church, Brooklyn, NY.

.

.

.

Guibert's own memorial took place over two days-July 31 for a private service, August 1 for the public-at St. Ann's, the Brooklyn church where Jeff had given his first New York performance six years earlier, singing his father's songs. Part funeral, part musical gala, it included performances by Elvis Costello, Marianne Faithfull, Irish ballader and friend Katell Keineg (who sang one of Jeff's favorite songs, "Calling You"), and Rebecca Moore (who sang the Jayhawks' "The Man Who Loved Life"), as well as an instrumental requiem by Toghe, Kindred, Joan Wasser, and Nathan Larson. Guibert read from her "Golden" Promise" (in honor of Jeff, she asked everyone to "look into your soul and find a Promise you can keep that would make this world a better place"); Lou Reed's lawyer gave St. Ann's' Susan Feldman permission to read his Velvet Underground era ballad "I'll Be Your Mirror." The original cost of the funeral, $20,000, was trimmed when Guibert was led to believe it would be included in Jeff's recoupable fund to Sony. So, despite the summer heat, St. Ann's sliced $7,000 off the budget by canceling the air conditioning and purchasing handheld fans instead. (Jeff's finances at the time of his death amounted to $7,000 in a bank account and two certificates of deposit of $20,000 each.)-from Dream Brother

I have no idea why but, to me, this song is the epitome of cool.
