The Jonathan Lynn Group

Punctuality, low maintenance, and quality performance. Audiences always leave happy from one of our performers, from children to the elderly. We can perform jazz, funk, soul, blues, latin jazz, bossa, and anything else that will want you to get on your feet and move to the beat! We have to ability to blast for in front of a large audience but also the control to play super quietly in a small room. It's most important to remember our versatility and professionalism as musicians.

Jonathan Lynn, an Ann Arbor townie, is an up and coming artist in the jazz world. As a jazz and classical saxophonist he studies with Andrew Bishop at the UofM where he improves his skills as a musician, improviser, and band leader. Jonathan started playing classical piano at the age of eight and has loved music ever since.

As a highschooler, Jonathan won many awards and competitions. Some of which include the Downbeat Student Music Award for "Outstanding High School Combo", "Best Soloist" at WMU jazz festival, Pioneer High School Concerto Competition, and Washtenaw Community Band Concert Competition. Additionally, he has played in the MSBOA All-State Jazz Band and MSBOA Michigan Youth Arts Jazz Band each two times.

Now in college, he plays lead alto in the UM Jazz Lab Ensemble and in various small groups at the university. He values being professional and punctual with all whom he works with.

The only requirement for performances is a wall outlet or power source. Jonathan's ensembles are no maintenance and supply all of their own gear. If there is a piano available at the space they will use that but if not, the ensemble playing will use an electronic keyboard. As far as dress, the ensemble can wear anything from casual to black tie, completely at the discretion of the Client.
