Line up(s) available: 3 piece (trio) Jazz in the Box are an outstanding outfit that play an eclectic range of music in the jazz genre. They have a fresh approach, a fantastic range of well known songs, an unbelievable sound and an intimate approach to their audience. Jazz in the Box began from a simple idea which identified a vast hole in the music scene that was being under serviced. Big Band Jazz sounds with the simplicity of a trio or quartet. Janet Flew (vocals and percussion) Janet began her musical career initially in school choirs where it was identified that she had a unique and outstanding voice. She was then encouraged to take her natural talent further and began training under Glenda Walsh (one of Australia’s leading vocal coaches who worked with Kate Ceberano, and herself appeared in many musicals such as Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair and is currently a judge on the Australian talent show “The X Factor”. Glenda has described Janet as one of her star pupils who has a voice that “people just love to listen to”. Janet’s vocal style has been described as Ricky Lee Jones with a lot more sex appeal. She has had an illustrious career having played with How do you do, Simplicity, Day Gig, Changes and The Roxton 5. Janet recently completed a great season of the musical “Joseph and His Technicolour Dreamcoat” with Phoenix Theatre in the role of “Mrs Potiphar”.
