Syncopation January 16, 2011

The Boston Globe calls Syncopation the "Manhattan Transfer of the 21st Century," and it is easy to see why. Like that legendary vocal group, Syncopation performs jazz and pop music that is both timeless and up-to-the-minute. The style of Syncopation includes bebop, latin, and pop influences. The group usually performs with a band, but their a cappella performance earned them first place at the 2008 Boston Harmony Sweepstakes. Each of the four singers is also an instrumentalist and is occasionally featured playing trumpet, trombone, piano, and percussion.
