It was almost 35 years ago that Lynn Ross, "Sweetheart of Jazz," 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.

Singing her whole life, but still new to the scene with only for 5 years of professional experience, Lynn has always tried to be in the best music company possible. Presently living in Dallas, Lynn is thrilled by the musical diversity and the high caliber of musicianship that exists locally. Jazz music is alive and well in Dallas. Why the handle “Sweetheart of Jazz?” Simple,–– Lynn says she’s in love with the music. Jazz is her thing and has been all her life–..starting with jazz and tap dancing lessons throughout her childhood. It was the music she danced to.

Whether it be as a duo, trio or in a full band, Lynn keeps musically active performing at special events, festivals, restaurants and night spots in and around Dallas.
