THE ORIGINAL PRAGUE SYNCOPATED ORCHESTRA, 2010

Posted on January 20, 2010 | 4 Comments

WHERE’S MY SWEETIE HIDING?

The inquiry’s made by the Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra* — wittily and rhythmically. 

How could anyone not love a band whose theme is SQUEEZE ME?

Many thanks to Enrico Borsetti for posting this delightful Twenties interlude!

*They’re really the “Originální Pražský Synkopický Orchestr,” but they accept booking in all languages.

    Is it possible to get some tunes in notes and chord in your sound?

    Dear Joachim,

    If I understand you correctly, you would like the equivalent of a lead sheet — chords and melody — for the video? I can’t do that, but if you go back to YouTube, you will find a place to send a message to the person who posted the videos: perhaps (s)he can put you in touch with the PSO. Good luck!

    This band is fantastic! They have an honest devotion to the jazz and film of the 20s and it shows! I think they came from a time machine from the 20s! I made up a video to go with their 1930 collegiate tune called “Sophomore” on youtube.. I think a famous Harlem black band like Chick Webb recorded it originally. Thank you!
