The Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra is a Czech professional ensemble focused on 1920's American jazz, blues and hot dance music. It is considered one of the most stylistically pure and artistically convincing ensembles of its kind. Thanks to the use of historical instruments, forgotten playing techniques and sophisticated arrangements, the sound of the orchestra is at once uniquely authentic and totally original. The orchestra was founded in 1974 by Pavel Klikar—trumpet player, piano player, musicologist and expert in this genre.
