The festival takes its name from the
weekly Italian Jazz program on Eastside Radio Sincopatico, which
is, of course, a play on words: syncopation and simpatico – an Italian word
meaning pleasant/friendly. The program can be heard on Eastside
Radio 89.7FM each Thursday at 6.00pm.
With the Piazza surrounded by
restaurants and cafes, you can dine, enjoy a great coffee or gelato. The Forum
is family-friendly, has a shopping precinct on the mezzanine level and plenty of
on-site parking.
We gratefully acknowledge our sponsors: Leichhardt Council, Billy Hyde Stage
Systems, Viatour Travel, 89.7FM Eastside Radio, Music 101 and Birdland Records,
with special thanks to the International Association of Jazz Education for their
valued contribution in this collaboration. All have helped to provide this
platform of opportunity to the youth in our community.
