High Flyin’ Jackie Ryan with the Eric Jekabson Quintet

@ Blue Note Napa

JACKIE RYAN with the                            ERIK JEKABSON QUINTET                          COMING TO NVJS@BLUE NOTE

High Flyin’ Jackie Ryan Returns Thursday, September 12th

Two NVJS favorites, multi-talented vocalist Jackie Ryan, and trumpeter/leader Erik Jekabson, will be featured in our next Jazz Society presentation at Blue Note Napa, Thursday, September 12th at 7:30 pm.  Borrowing from a show we presented back in 2013, we call this show “High Flyin’ Jackie Ryan – The Queen Returns.”  Here is what we said then:

“Sitting atop the JazzWeek charts is not new to Jackie Ryan, her last three CDs have held that distinction.  Jackie’s most recent offering, Listen Here, a collaboration with highly regarded
producer John Clayton, was #1 for seven weeks earlier this year.  To us, this makes her the reigning ‘Queen of Jazz.’  As Christopher Louden if JazzTimes put it ‘[Jackie Ryan is] one of  the outstanding jazz vocalists of her generation and, quite possibly, of all time……… rivaling the dexterous sass of Sarah Vaughn, the instinctive smarts of Carmen McRae, and the scintillating verve of Diana Krall.’ “


Erik Jekabson, besides being on the faculty of the California Jazz Conservatory and Director of the Jazzschool Young Musicians Program, is one of the most prolific jazz musicians and leaders in the area.  His Quintet is a collection of the Bay Area’s best, all of whom are veterans of our NVJS stages:

             Erik Jekabson        Trumpet & Leader
             John R. Burr           Piano
             Doug Miller             Bass
            Akira Tana               Drums
            Patrick Wolff           Tenor Sax & Clarinet

Coming off of their recent appearance at SFJAZZ, Jackie and the group will present an exciting program of music from the Great American and Latin Songbooks, as well as originals.

Tickets are $45 each and are available on our website, www.NVJS.org

Doors of Blue Note, 1030 Main St., will open at 6:30.  Music will begin at 7:30 pm.
