Ten Doctors of Syncopation

In 1986, thirteen tightly-knit jazz musicians playing big band music from the late 1920’s and the early 1930’s, emerged from the famous swedish university student orchestras. A foundation was created for an old style big band, and the band, BasKlas And His Ten Doctors of Syncopation was born. The music style of the early big bands, together with the ”happy touch” from the university orchestras, merged into a unique music mix. Since then, the band has performed successfully time after time, leaving neither the hands nor the feet of the audience still or silent.

The priority for the band is to convey the happiness of the their music style to the audience, creating a jazzy atmosphere wherever it perform. Focus is the fast, "stomps" that could be heared in jazz clubs during in the late 1920th.. Music also known as "Machine Gun Jazz".
Many arrangements are transcriptions jazz gigants like  Fletcher Henderson, creator of the big band sound, Duke Ellington, Don Redman, and Fats Waller.
