It was almost 35 years ago that Lynn Ross began to sing jazz standards in the studios at CHSJ Television, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada.

Thinking back, she never imagined that she would grow up and enjoy singing the same songs.

She loves the great composers of the 30s and 40s, and delights in the fact that there is a familiar tune for everyone in her repertoire.

Lynn’s phrasing, understanding and interpretations are derived from singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O’Day, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday and Rosemary Clooney. Spectacular influence that has helped Lynn remain true to composition, yet full of jazzy surprises.
