Welcome
Welcome to the website of Vocalist, Saxophonist and Bandleader; Jimmy Cannon.
Jimmy is best known for leading the Jimmy Cannon Big Band. Featuring some of the finest musicians in London, the band is equally at home on the stage at a Jazz Club or Festival, as it is performing for Weddings or Corporate Events. Jimmy is an extremely versatile Singer, as convincing when caressing a ballad as he is belting out a pop hit or Sinatra-style swinger.
Please browse this website to learn more about Jimmy and keep up on his latest news and Tour dates, for the Big Band as well as other groups including The Jazz Cannon's and the Asterisk Saxophone Quartet.
If you have a question or comment for Jimmy, or would like to book him and one of the bands for a concert, corporate event, wedding or other function, please get in touch via the Contact page.
