JACKIE RYAN SINGS A TRIBUTE TO THE DIVINE DIVAS OF JAZZ!

Jackie honors the grand chanteuses who taught her Jazz !

Sarah! Ella! Billie! Peggy! and Dinah!

Jackie Ryan "is one of the outstanding jazz vocalists of her generation...She is the thoroughbred vocal equivalent of the Triple Crown, rivaling the dexterous sass of Sarah Vaughan, the instinctive smarts of Carmen McRae and the scintillating verve of Diana Krall." - Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times

Internationally acclaimed Marin County native, Jackie Ryan, has had three consecutive #1 Jazz CDs nationwide, and garnered praise from the top music critics worldwide. She has toured and performed throughout Europe, Japan and The US, singing at major festivals and top venues, including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland, SF Jazz, Yoshi’s, and 8 yrs a regular at the world renowned Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London.

She was born to parents who were both professional singers in their youth and therefore grew up in a home that was naturally full of music. Her Irish father was a classically trained baritone and her mother, who was born in Acapulco, sang at the famed Teatro Degollado in Guadalajara.

She started singing at the age of four and performing professionally at the age of 15. She sings in several languages, and her versatility in styles ranging from belting out the blues to Jazz Bebop; to the delicate Portuguese language nuances of Brazilian Bossa Novas and rhythmic Sambas, to romantic boleros sung in Spanish; to the emotive ballads and vibrant swing standards of The Great American Songbook, have won the hearts of audiences worldwide."

"Extraordinary is the word!" --- Don Heckman; The Los Angeles Times.

"Listen to Jackie Ryan's voice and consider this: how important is it to you that vocal jazz come from the heart? Ryan's latest release proves that nothing works better on your soul than the real thing; a charm seldom seen in today's crowded singers' market. She's genuine." — Jim Santella
