Promotional Sampler - Syncopation Society by Artists represented by Syncopation Society BerlinSometimes things just fit in perfectly. In this case, Syncopation Society Berlin and The Syncopated Times. Based on the Society’s initial promotional sampler, it is truly a perfect fit! They don’t simply present and play a certain set of musical genres- American roots music, blues, traditional jazz, and swing, there is a greater concept around which the Berlin musical collective is built.
And the terms society and collective are not used in vain. As Flo, one of the Society’s organizers told Deutche Welle (the German international radio service), the Society is a true collective of bands, DJ's, special acts like cabaret and dancers, and an audio-visual project called “Living Cartoon Duet”. The Society is an “all-in-one-project”; musicians, acts, concert organizers and promoters, a record company, producers and managers. Of course, the focus is on the music, and the many bands involved often exchange players or even have joint gigs and recording sessions.
The Society’s first promotional sampler was released on Bandcamp last Autumn, there is an evident synergy among the artists involved, as well as an obvious knowledge, understanding and feel for the music they are involved in, with enough spark to go beyond just playing it well.
