Jackie Ryan - "Doozy"

Jackie Ryan's "Doozy" via Open Art,recently held the #1 position on JazzWeek's industry-standard chart for seven weeks and has been called “One of the most satisfying albums to come along this year, or any year.”

The double album release features the formidable talents of Cyrus Chestnut, Eric Alexander, Romero Lubambo, and Jeremy Pelt, and is a tour de force through the seemingly limitless breadth and bounty of this artist's myriad musical gifts. Jackie Ryan and company have pulled from a variety of sources for inspiration, including rarely-heard gems, to lush intimate ballads, sensuous Brazilian bossa novas, passionate Spanish love songs, sassy New Orleans blues, and sizzling hard-driving bebop, all exquisitely punctuated by Ryan’s unmistakable voice.

Doozy is only the second album in history to hold #1 slot on the JazzWeek charts for 7 weeks. The only other vocalist to exceed this milestone is Diana Krall (w/ From This Moment On). An achievement in itself, but even more impressive is the fact the album reigned at the top of the charts with only 2 weeks of radio play! In addition, Ryan has been noted as a featured artist on NPR, CNN en Espanol, Voice of America, and Primetime A&E.
