Musician

Jimmy Cannon

Born:

I’m a Singer, Saxophonist, and Bandleader. Born in Wimbledon, London 1972. My first musical memory was tapping inanely on my desk at school, probably encouraged by my dad, who used to be a drummer and taught me a “Paradiddle” before I had the urge to speak. A plastic polyphonic trumpet was then shoved in my face and a brass equivalent would become my weapon of choice until I was around fifteen. We moved to Cornwall when I was eleven, changed schools and was consequently thrown in to the local brass band on cornet. Not sure what turned me on to jazz; possibly the Cagney and lacey theme tune or Mike Hammer Detective theme “Harlem Nocturne”, however every Saturday morning I went religiously to rehearse with the Cornwall Youth Jazz Orchestra, and within that 7 year period, I swapped from trumpet to saxophone. “No Picnic” would be my first introduction to life on the country lanes
