Burnt Sugar, also known as Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber, is an American improvisational band. The band's music combines the influences of funk, jazz, rock, reggae, soul, hip hop, heavy metal, and 20th-century classical music.[1] It has been described by one critic as a "funk-rock-electronic-samba-soul-jazz-fusion-whatever ensemble".[2] One critic wrote that Burnt Sugar's music "is not the easiest thing to describe",[3] while another critic wrote that "Burnt Sugar sounds like a big cloud".[4]
