"Extraordinary is the word!" --- Don Heckman; The Los Angeles Times.
Jackie Ryan has performed, recorded and/or toured with the top jazz instrumentalists in the world, including Clark Terry, Red Holloway, Toots Thielemans, The Jeff Hamilton Trio, John Clayton, Terry Gibbs, Jon Hendricks, Buddy DeFranco, Gerald Clayton, Jon Mayer, Larry Vuckovich, Eric Alexander and Cyrus Chestnut, to name just a few.
All of Jackies CDs have been in the top of the Jazzweek national radio tracking chart, as well as her most recent three back to back # 1 CDs, which stayed in that number one position for several weeks.
She has performed internationally, from Europe, (8 years at the famed Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London) to Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and sold-out appearances at New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center and Birdland, San Francisco's new multimillion dollar jazz venue, SFJAZZ; to Oakland's Yoshi's, and many major jazz festivals.
Her live shows have been described by the critics as magnificent, gripping and extraordinary, and consistently leave audiences in standing ovations and encores. She is a natural born entertainer with that rare ability to reach out and touch each and every heart, no matter how large the audience.
According Jazz Times magazines veteran critic, Christopher Loudon, "Jackie is 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."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pianist Jon Mayer is from the tradition of New York players who are not afraid to express strong emotions from both ends of the spectrum. He is a muscular, blues based pianist on one hand and is entirely at home with a ballad and its potential for tenderness.
His jazz pedigree is solid, having grown up in New York City during a particularly fertile time in modern jazz evolution. Mayer is represented on a John Coltrane recording `Like Sonny on Roulette and on a Jackie McLean Prestige date called `Strange Blues.
He also spent time in the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Band as well as road assignments with Dionne warwick, Sarah Vaughan, Anita ODay and Manhattan Transfer.
Mayers compositions have been recorded by Les McAnn, Barry Whites Love Unlimited Orchestra, Nancy Wilson, Gladys Knight, Ernie Watts and Jackie Ryan.
Recordings under his own name date from 1996 to the present with nine Jon Mayer Trio releases plus the new solo `Live CD called `The art of the Ballad. The newest release from 2018 is `Live at the Atheneaum Jon Mayer Trio.
