Jackie Ryan, featured on NPR, Voice of America, CNN Espanol, and Primetime A&E;, has been described by JazzTimes as, ''One of the outstanding jazz vocalists of her generation and, quite possibly, of all time...rivaling the dexterous sass of Sarah Vaughn and the scintillating verve of Diana Krall.'' This release proves why.Jackie Ryan'sDoozyis, as Los Angeles Times critic Don Heckman puts it in his Liner Notes, ''a stunningly diverse 2 CD collection of irresistibly compelling performances.'' Designed as two sets one might experience live in a club, it provides the listener with all the dynamic variety of songs one would expect from a concert, including an opening and closing song for each set. Recorded mostly at Tony Bennett's studio (right after her live Lincoln Center performance at Dizzy's), it features Jackie backed by some of the East Coast's hottest names in jazz: Cyrus Chestnut (hailed by TIME Magazine as ''the best jazz pianist of his generation''), Eric Alexander (JazzWeek's Artist Of The Year), Jeremy Pelt (5 years voted Downbeat's ''Rising Star''), and Brazilian virtuoso Romero Lubambo (''Quite simply...the best Brazilian guitarist there is.'' - Herbie Mann)ButDoozyis more than a follow up to Jackie'sYou and The Night and The Music(JazzWeek's #1 CD nationwide, which graced the radio charts for 8 1/2 months, and garnered 4 STAR reviews from DOWN BEAT and AMG). It is a revelation, a full reflection of the seemingly limitless breadth and bounty of this artist's myriad musical gifts - a tour de force of her choicest concert material - from uniquely rendered and rarely heard jazz gems, to lush soulful intimate ballads - from sensuous Brazilian bossa novas and boleros, to a passionate Spanish love song - from sassy, brassy New Orleans style blues, to sizzling hard-driving bebop punctuated by her own smartly-crafted vocalese lyrics. It is, as Don Heckman states, ''JACKIE RYAN AT HER BEST!''Special Two CDs for the Price of One Edition includes: 20 songs, 6 panel digipak, 24 page color booklet, 36 photos, and liner notes by Don Heckman of The Los Angeles Times.
