After Hours PLUS
June 19, 2008, 7:00pm - Jazz at the Gardner: Berklee Bluegrass Band
The Berklee Bluegrass Band brings their unique sound to the jazz series at the Gardner. 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. On this night, we get a little twang-y, with banjos, fiddles, mandolins and more, all played by current students in Berklee’s new bluegrass program.
Originally formed in January of 2002 at Berklee College of Music and mentored by Cheryl Bentyne of the Manhattan Transfer, Syncopation performs catchy swing, Latin and pop tunes along with A capella jazz and improvisation pieces. Syncopation has performed across the US in festivals and on radio broadcasts. They have also been welcomed with open arms overseas, and recently returned from their third annual tour of Japan in September 2004, giving clinics and singing for sold-out audiences across the country.
