Syncopation Society
The Syncopation Society is a music collective that identifies with a new movement focusing on early American music such as swing, hot jazz, and blues. We organise the “Are You Syncopated” festival, jam sessions, and concerts. We also produce content and release music with other partners and for clients.
We believe that jazz, and all music derived from blues, has its roots in, and is indeed the creation of, African-American culture. As musicians, we deeply feel the need to give recognition to the creators of the music we perform, the world they lived in, and the struggles they faced personally and professionally due to systemic racism.
