James Flynn and his eight piece jazz orchestra are ready to bring a sense of style and swing to the Perth summer concert scene with a one off exclusive performance in, ‘Jazz in the Park’ at Mawson Park, Hillarys.

James Flynn and his handpicked ensemble of Perth’s elite jazz musos perform the classic repertoire of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin & Bobby Darin.

As a vocalist, Flynn possesses flawless intonation, a fine sense of rhythmic swing and an uncanny interpretation of the lyric. Trained as an actor with experience touring throughout Britain, James Flynn lifts the bar for jazz vocalising in WA.

Flynn is renowned for engaging his audience with a unique talent to communicate. His concert performances in front of capacity audiences feel like a casual presentation in a friend's lounge room. This ability to make everyone feel "at home" is a rare skill in the jazz environment. In short he is an entertainer.

"In the world of showbiz, where singers are a dollar a dozen, James Flynn is one of those very rare performers whose hallmark of star quality is instantly self-evident and both elevates and distinguishes him from the crowd."

The Stage
"James never fails to communicate a seductive and vigorous freshness in each piece. Every number he offers sounds as if it's being sung for the very first time...in the way its creator intended."

The Herald
"James Flynn invariably gives an exciting and perceptive performance crafted from a unique fusion of intuitive talent and technical mastery.
So it's easy to see why he is so much in demand... from Edinburgh to Hong Kong and from Dunoon to Down Under."
