WHAT WE DO:

The Syncopated Times is a monthly print newspaper bringing you news you need from the world of hot jazz, ragtime and swing. Each month includes original features and interviews with the current artists you should know more about as well as some interesting history lessons. Our reviews of newly released books and music will ensure you stay up to date, and our festival and event listings will help you plan ahead. The print edition is available in the US for $30 a year. A PDF edition is available to international subscribers and those on the go. The goal of this website is to supplement the print publication as the informational anchor of the hot jazz, ragtime, and swing communities online. We want everything you’ve struggled to find on Google to be at your fingertips in our directory, sorted into useful categories and fully searchable. If you know of a page we should include you can now add it yourself by clicking on the “Create a Listing” button on the lower right of the directory.

Another promising resource is our interactive event calendar. Bands and festival promoters can add the information about their gig or event to a simple form. The listings can be linked into Google Maps and contain as much information about pricing and lineup as you care to include. It’s as easy as cutting and pasting, even graphics. Consider it free advertising. Your listing will appear on this page and on the Google Calendars of those who subscribe to our event Calendar. These are people who actually go to shows! Try adding an event now.

We are committed to making this page the best resource on the internet for the hot jazz, ragtime and swing communities, but we will always be a print publication first. This site will have links to bands, bars, CDs, and who knows what else but to get the original writing, insightful reviews of new music, and artist interviews that The Syncopated Times is known for you’ll need to subscribe. We love the thought of our print edition spread out by your morning coffee but a PDF edition is available for international subscribers and those on the go at the same price.
