Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber

A multiracial jam army that freestyles with cool telekinesis between the lustrous menace of Miles Davis On The Corner, the clash-an-om of 1970s King Crimson, and Jimi Hendrick moonwalk across side three of electric Landyland.”Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber

Carl Hancock Rux

“Carl Hancock Rux’s work crosses the disciplines of poetry, theater, music and literary fiction in order to achieve what one critic describes ” as a dizzying oral artistry….unleashing a torrent of paper bag poetry and post modern Hip-Bop music; the ritualistic blues of self awakening.” carlhancockrux.com
