Southern Syncopaters may not have much more than the name in common with Will Marion Cook's Southern Syncopated Orchestra, that toured Europe in 1919; but nevertheless this present-day band has some claim to the name.
Even if its home is in Sweden in northern part of Europe, from a local perspective, it is indeed a southern band, as its members hail from Lund & Malmö in the southernmost Sweden - and the music is indeed syncopated! Southern Syncopaters is a classic ten-piece big band.
All members are amateur musicians (engineers, economists, students, etc), but have in common a great interest for the well arranged hot syncopated jazz of the 20’s. The bands live performances are made in the spirit of the happy days in the 1920’s, with all musicians dressed in flashy dinner jackets and with the song performed by some of the musicians in a brass coated, funnel shaped, battery powered amplifier to recreate the typical sound.
Southern Syncopaters’ second CD "Feelin' No Pain", was released at the end of 1999. So don’t hesitate. Get one (or two) of the CD’s! Put on the music! Relax! Dream that you are back in the roaring 20’s! Listen to the cool band playing happy syncopated rhythms!
Maybe even take some daring Charleston dance steps? Enjoy! Southern Syncopaters guarantee you’ll be Feelin’ No Pain.
