Harry Lynn Home

Harry Lynn Quartet started the jazz phenomenon that is Jazz in The Basement based at the Gold Coast Arts Centre Queensland, Australia, in June 2004.

Since then the band has accompanied some of the best jazz performers available today - not only local talent - but also those who are celebrated worldwide including jazz legends George Washingmachine, Lynn Rogers, John Hoffman, Linda Weston, Clayton Davis, Melissa Western, Max Miller, Tom Nicolson, Dinah Williams, Willy Qua, Sandie White, Airstream, Ashley Lewis, and Australia's Queen of Jazz Singers, Ingrid James.

Jazz in The Basement has also provided many young Gold Coast jazz musicians, with the opportunity to perform in front of a seasoned jazz audience in a professional environment. The Gold Coast Youth Orchestra Big Band, under the direction of Mal Wood, attracted one of the largest crowds for 2005.

Another crowd-pulling performance for 2005 was the "Battle of the Saxes" with Lothar Schildhorst and Ian Aitken battling it out on their saxophones for the very appreciative audience and also the " Louis Armstrong Tribute" from Clayton Davis and Blaine Whittaker (from the James Morrison Band) on saxophone.

Harry Lynn (Piano/Keyboards), Peter McLaughlin (Bass) and Warren Whittaker (Drums), and Mal Wood on Trumpet, make up the Harry Lynn Quartet.
