Syncopation - New Member!

A big change in the life of Syncopation. Aubrey Logan has left the band to pursue opportunities as a solo jazz/pop singer. Be on the lookout for her name in the national and international entertainment media in the upcoming year. I wish her the very best. A thorough search for a new soprano was conducted. Of course she would have to be an excellent harmony singer with great intonation, sound and rhythm. We also wanted an amazing soloist. Finally, she should be an entertainer with charisma and energy. We found all these things in vocalist Aubrey Johnson. She is a fantastic musician and lovely human being who will fit in our crazy harmony group just perfectly. Aubrey is a Boston-based singer/composer/arranger whose music combines her many stylistic influences which range from jazz, pop, and folk, to opera, Brazilian, and Turkish music, creating her unique brand of improvisation-rooted composition, with and without lyrics. Last year she completed the New England Conservatory Masters Degree program with honors and was awarded the Gunther Schuller Medal. She sang on Bobby McFerrin's latest CD "Vocabularies", performed in international jazz festivals with guitarist Lyle Mays, and is in high demand as a sidewoman by many forward-looking ensembles around Boston. She was named "Best Jazz Vocalist" in the 2008 DownBeat Student Music Awards. Syncopation is taking this opportunity to refresh our publicity materials, photos, website, and social media presence. Please stay tuned to see our new look! A sneak preview of our new photos can be found at www.jazzsyncopation.com
