Jackie's previous three CDs charted #1 nationwide on JazzWeek's industry-standard chart. Offering a tour de force through a myriad of musical idioms, from rare jazz ballads and swinging bebop to soaring Latin boleros and sensuous bossa novas, each garnered critical acclaim.
Both her double CD, DOOZY (with Cyrus Chestnut, Romero Lubambo, Eric Alexander) and her You and The Night and The Music (with Red Holloway, Tamir Hendelman, Jeff Hamilton) - received 4 stars from AMG and DOWNBEAT. Listen Here, produced by Grammy Award winning John Clayton, featured both John along with his son, 4-time Grammy nominee Gerald Clayton, and Mexican trumpet virtuoso Gilbert Castellanos, among others.
Ms. Ryan has also recorded and/or performed with Toots Thielemans, Clark Terry, Buddy DeFranco, Harry Allen, Scott Hamilton, Mike Wofford, Jon Mayer, Larry Vuckovich, Amina Figarova, Bill Cunliffe, Shelly Berg, John Santos, Terry Gibbs, and Jon Hendricks. In addition, Jackie has composed and recorded note-for-note vocalese for the scorching sax solos of Benny Carter's "Doozy" and Joe Henderson's "The Kicker," as well as intimate lyrics for Barry Harris' "Deep Love."
Ms. Ryan has been profiled as the featured artist for NPR, Voice of America, PRIMETIME A&E, CNN TV en Español. She has performed at premier festivals such as Telluride, Monterey, and the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, and packed concerts abroad (8 years a regular at London's famed Ronnie Scott's Club) and at home, selling out New York's Birdland, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and San Francisco Bay's SF Jazz and Yoshi's.
Recuerdos de mi Madre
Con Invitado Especial: Paquito D'Rivera
Jackie, acompañada por los mejores músicos del Área de la Bahía, ofrece 10 de las canciones de amor más preciadas de América Latina, incluyendo 3 clásicos con el ganador de 14 premios Grammy, Paquito D'Rivera
"Contralto impecable... rango imponente. La maravillosamente diestra Ryan se eleva a nuevas alturas mientras reconfirma su lugar entre los grandes de todos los tiempos"... -- Reseña de JazzTimes de "Listen Here"
"Escuché a Herbie Hancock decir que el Jazz es algo muy difícil de describir, pero muy fácil de reconocer, y Jackie Ryan es ese tipo de vocalista que en todo lo que canta, le sale el espíritu del Jazz en su forma más elegante y creativa." -- Paquito D'Rivera
¡Paquito tiene razón! Ya sea que Jackie Ryan esté cantando en inglés, español, portugués o improvisando, ¡Todo tiene el espíritu del jazz! En esta excursión, "Recuerdos De Mi Madre", la cantante de Jazz de renombre internacional nos lleva a un hermoso viaje nostálgico tejiendo las canciones latinas que aprendió con su madre cuando era niña.
De la pluma de grandes compositores mexicanos, cubanos y otros latinoamericanos, Jackie abraza estos temas con sincera pasión y los interpreta a través de una lente de jazz latino, trascendiéndolos al siglo XXI con un fervor inspirado, evocando su belleza poética y melódica con su fraseo inimitable y voz cristalina.
"Esta música ha vivido dentro de mí desde que era muy pequeña", explica Jackie. "Esta fue la primera música que escuché en mi casa, y creo que el amor de mi madre por la música y su propio canto feliz, son lo que me inspiró a convertirme en cantante. Espero que los oyentes sientan algo de la alegría y la calidez que sentí cuando escuché por primera vez esta música con mi dulce madre. Para mí, su espíritu sigue vivo en las canciones que ella cantaba y que le encantaba tocar."

Reviews of Recuerdos De Mi Madre
LATINO MAGAZINE by Mark Holston
"Hailed by many music critics as one of the best female vocalist in any genre on the scene today, Ryan lives up to her reputation, bringing her lustrous voice, keen sense of drama, and expertly measured passion for the repertoire to a program of tunes she first heard when she heard her mother sing them around the house when Jackie was a young girl.
The presence on three tracks with guest artist Paquito D'Rivera on clarinet and saxophone add luster to a program of love songs that span the decades...
Through it all, Ryan's vocals are in command, the essence of elegance. "

JAZZ WEEKLY By George Harris
"RINGER OF THE WEEK"
"Her enunciation is exquisite, she has a festive swing that sounds like she just popped out of a birthday cake, and she's got that extra feeling of emotion that makes each lyric sound convincing. Here she pours out her Latin heart....D'Rivera is gentle and cool on the clarinet for the serenade of "El Día Que Me Quieras. A romantic, full moon evening."

From Japan:
Talented female vocalist Jackie Ryan's new disc
"Mexican American female vocalist, Jackie Ryan, is active in the San Francisco Bay Area. Starting with "You And The Night And The Music", her last three albums have all marked the premier position on the music charts and classic jazz magazine, Billboard, has provided a review of four stars, giving her a strong position as an extremely talented, and popular artist. Her new album is a tribute to her mother, which envelops a love and passion for the Latin music arts.
Accompanied by the well-known professional and popular saxophone player, Paquito D'Rivera as a guest, Jackie sings ten of the most well-known Latin love songs.
The editorial team recognizes her voice worthy of one of the best artists on the scene today."
JAZZMA.HU by Hegedüs Zsuzsanna
From Budapest:
I was moved listening to Jackie Ryan's album interpreted with wonderful passion. The American singer of Mexican origin dedicated her latest album to her mother, whom she lost at an early age, and to the songs that her mother sang to her when she was a child.
The album is not a melancholy lament. On the contrary: warmth and joie de vivre radiate through Ryan's elegant vocals. Sung in Spanish, the songs are straight "del corazon", meaning from the heart! Through it, we can notice in our own lives: there is no bad that we want to recall after the loss of a loved one, we really only remember the beautiful.... Every song on the album is a hit... Dear Jackie Ryan! Thank you for reminding us that our mothers and fathers live forever in our hearts!
