The Syncopators return to our stage with this exciting tribute to the Three B’s of British jazz!

Get ready to swing and sway as The Syncopators, Melbourne’s internationally acclaimed jazz band, return for a high-energy celebration of British jazz legends.

Honouring the iconic bands of Chris Barber, Kenny Ball and Acker Bilk, this show revisits the music that sparked Britain’s traditional jazz boom in the 1950s – a craze that spread across Europe, Australia and America, topping charts and filling dance halls. Inspired by Australia’s own Graeme Bell, whose early tours to the UK helped lay the foundations of the movement, The Syncopators bring these timeless hits back to life with flair and authenticity.

Now in their 41st year, The Syncopators revive the sounds, style and spirit of the era – complete with pumping rhythms, hand-shaking jazz dances, college haircuts, duffle coats, thin ties and the sports cars of the well-heeled. It’s a musical time machine guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your memories flowing.
