Help us fund the studio time needed to complete our CD "Skinny Minne - Live from Midwest Lindyfest."

On May 4 and 5, 2012 the Syncopators recorded our performance at Midwest Lindyfest in Minneapolis, MN.  While the recording phase is done, we still need to mix, master, produce the CDs, and procure song rights.  That's where you come in!  Donate to our kickstarter, and be a part of bringing this great new CD to life.

About the CD: The CD will feature our favorite live tracks from our performances at Midwest Lindyfest including unreleased original songs by Glenn Crytzer as well as Glenn's arrangements and transcriptions of classics.  The CD is filled with a wide range of dance tempos, and each song is presented uncut, with the live energy you can only get playing for a room full of dancers.  

Personnel on the CD include:  Steve Mostovoy, trumpet; Evan Arntzen, clarinet/tenor sax; Solomon Douglas, piano; Glenn Crytzer, guitar; Steve Pikal, bass; Mike Daugherty, drums; and Meschiya Lake, vocals.
