After Hours PLUS

April 17, 2008, 7:00pm - Jazz at the Gardner: Syncopation
Dubbed "the Manhattan Transfer of the 21st century" by the Boston Globe, vocal jazz group Syncopation performs cutting-edge jazz, pop and world music at small clubs and large festivals. But this is not your father's vocal group. Lee's splashy arranging style, Christine's hot trumpet playing, Dave's angular wailing, and Aubrey's trombone styling make Syncopation unique and contemporary.
On five Thursday nights throughout the year, Jazz at the Gardner presents the best emerging young musicians and recent graduates from the Berklee College of Music, such as these former students.
