Classically trained, Jimmy started singing with Opera Columbus and various local community theatre groups over ten years ago. But since the Big Band bug bit, he's changed his tune and works the great standards with his partner, Mary Rose. When asked why he prefers singing with Big Bands, Jimmy will tell you, "it's like flying F-16's, baby!" Jimmy has also had a lot of success with a unique exercise program he developed specially for singers called Vocal Fitness.
