From Ultra violet to infra red, between them a prism of light, that subtle place where we exit as Visual Beings





The Maestro series idea came about after I went to Bushnell Park, Hartford, Connecticut to check out the group Burnt Sugar. They performed as part of the Hartford Jazz Society's Monday Night Jazz Series. I had heard about Greg Tate (Maestro) and the group before, but I had never gotten a chance to see them. Guitarist Vernon Reid had tweeted that he would be performing with Burnt Sugar that night so I wanted to go to the park to check him out and finally hear Burnt Sugar. Then my friend, Richard FYI me by email, about Burnt Sugar being in the park and I knew it was the place I needed to be. The only problem was the rain that was yet to come and would it be an indoor or outdoor concert. Would I have to wrap my camera in plastic or not, or heaven for bid, leave it at home. I took a quick look at the Burnt Sugar website, http://www.burntsugarindex.com and my mind was made up. Bushnell Park, rain or shine. The Poem and the photos are the end result.. The photos here are manipulated but some regular photos of the band appear under the Music Photos section.. The Poem Burnt Sugar , normally in the poem section, is repeated here along with the source of the inspiration.
