Vocalist, Jackie Ryan “is one of the outstanding jazz vocalists of her generation……rivaling the dexterous sass of Sarah Vaughan, the instinctive smarts of Carmen McRae and the scintillating verve of Diana Krall.” (Jazz Times) 

This multilingual S.F. Bay Area native sings in several languages, and her versatility in styles ranging from belting out the blues to 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. She has worked with jazz heavyweights Clark Terry, Toots Thielemans, John Clayton, Jon Hendricks, Cyrus Chestnut, and Paquito D’Rivera to name a few and released several superb top charting albums including her most recent three no. 1 back-to-back albums.
