August 1 -2, 2008 JACKIE RYAN VOC. With the TAMIR HENDELMAN TRIOJackie's last CD, You and The Night And The Music, was #1 in the nation and stayed on top of the charts for 34 weeks solid! She has received overwhelming praise from the top jazz critics across the country and in Europe. "You and the Night and the Music" confirms Ryan's status as one of the outstanding jazz vocalists of her generation and, quite possibly, of all time. 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.” --- Chrsitopher Loudon, Jazz Times Magazine, |
