Album Description
#1 Jazz CD inationwide on JazzWeeks industry-standard chart for a record-breaking 7 weeks; ****4-Stars from both DOWNBEAT and AMG; DOOZY" — A BOUNTY OF RARITIES, STANDARDS, BOSSA NOVA, BLUES A FAR-RANGING, 2-CD SET OF IRRESISTIBLY COMPELLING PERFORMANCES. "JACKIE AT HER BEST. IT'S NOT JUST HER CAPACITY TO SWING LIKE ELLA, EMOTE LIKE BILLIE, FLY LIKE SARAH OR BE COOL LIKE DIANA THAT MAKE HER ONE OF THE SIGNIFICANT JAZZ ARTISTS OF THE NEW CENTURY. IT'S HER ABILITY TO DO ALL THAT, AND DO IT THROUGH THE UNIQUE PRISMS OF HER OWN MUSICAL GIFTS AND PERSONAL JOURNEYS." Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times. contributing critic for for DownBeat, The Village Voice, and The New York Times; JACKIE RYAN; A NOTE-PERFECT JAZZ SINGER WITH A NATURALLY DRAMATIC, BEGUILING AND SWINGING SENSE OF STYLE AND GROOVE DELIVERS A SWEEPING PROGRAM OF ORIGINAL VOCALESE, FRESHLY INTERPRETED FAMILIAR TUNES, BITTERSWEET BRAZILIAN MELODIES AND UP-TO-DATE BLUES. With heartfelt collaboration from some of the most celebrated, urbane and soulful of current instrumental soloists and rhythm teams, the West Coast-based chanteuse with an international following captures the freedom, intimacy and excitement she generates in club and concert performances over the run of two CDs in her generous Doozy package." — HOWARD MANDEL President, Jazz Journalists Association "FLAWLESS CONTRALTO... TOWERING THREE-AND-A-HALF OCTAVE RANGE... THE MARVELOUSLY DEXTEROUS RYAN SOARS TO NEW HEIGHTS AS SHE...RECONFIRMS HER PLACE AMONG THE ALL-TIME GREATS. Last we heard from Mexican-Irish enchantress Jackie Ryan, she of the flawless contralto and towering three-and-a-half octave range, was the exemplary You and the Night and the Music. Now, whether softly tracing the relentless heartache of "I Haven't Got Anything Better to Do," slinking through a wickedly fine "Tell Me More and More and Then Some," or plumbing the soul-deep devotion of "Solamente Una Vez," Jackie bonds seamlessly with her elite companions and reconfirms her place among the all- time greats.." — Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes
