Originally from Roseville, CA, Molly made her jazz vocal debut at the age of 11 with the Reynolds Brothers’ Rhythm Rascals at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee. Since moving to New York City in August of 2003, she has become one of the most sought-after vocalists on the New York jazz scene. She has performed alongside such prominent jazz artists as Randy Reinhart, Jon-Erik Kellso, Bria Skonberg, Dan Barrett, Mark Shane, Rossano Sportiello, as well as with the preeminent 1920s-style orchestra, Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks. She is a member of Gordon Au’s Grand Street Stompers, and appears on the band’s Christmas album, released in November 2012. Molly also performs periodically with the gypsy jazz group Fête Manouche and with James Langton’s New York All-Star Big Band, both of which spotlight her as rhythm guitarist as well as vocalist.
Molly has appeared at numerous jazz festivals throughout the country including the Hot Steamed Jazz Festival in Essex, CT, the Great Connecticut Traditional Jazz Festival, the Orange County Classic Jazz Festival in Southern California, the Sweet and Hot Music Festival in Los Angeles, and the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, at which she has appeared both with her own group and with a band led by her friend and mentor, pianist Bob Ringwald. She has headlined in Paris at jazz clubs such as the famed Le Petit Journal and Autour de Midi, and has been featured as a guest vocalist with Andrej Hermlin’s Swing Dance Orchestra throughout Germany in a monumental tribute to clarinet legend Benny Goodman.
In 2004, Molly took part in a spectacular re-creation of Goodman’s Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert, as well as at the JVC Jazz Festival’s centennial tribute to Jimmy Dorsey at New York City’s famed jazz club Birdland. She headlined at Birdland every week last August for the club’s Sunday evening showcase, “Jazz Party.”
Molly’s debut album, Dream a Little Dream, featuring Bob Ringwald, was released in 2002. Her second solo album, Songbird in the Moonlight, featuring Dan Levinson, Mark Shane, Kevin Dorn, and Jon Erik Kellso, came out in 2008. Molly can also be heard on the albums Steppin’ Around with Dan Levinson’s Canary Cottage Dance Orchestra (Stomp Off Records, 2006), At the Codfish Ball with Dan Levinson’s Swing Wing (Loup-garous Productions, 2009), and Four on the Floor with the Palomar Quartet (Loup-garous Productions, 2008). Her album, Swing For Your Supper, came out in 2013 and features Bucky Pizzarelli, Randy Reinhart, Dan Levinson, Vince Giordano, Kevin Dorn, Dan Barrett, Mark Shane, as well as guest vocalists Banu Gibson and Maude Maggart. Molly can be heard on the Grammy Award-winning HBO television series Boardwalk Empire.
“A critic’s favorite,” proclaims The Wall Street Journal columnist Will Friedwald, in reference to Molly Ryan, one of the most sought-after vocalists on the New York jazz scene. She has performed at such prestigious venues as Café Carlyle, The Waldorf Astoria, Rainbow Room, and world-famous jazz clubs Birdland and Iridium. Her latest album, “Let’s Fly Away,” featuring piano legend Dick Hyman, was released earlier this year. http://jeffandjoelshouseparty.com/musicians/molly-ryan/

Absolutely wonderful! It's a pity that it has a fake bitrate. In fact, it is a 128kbps, not a 320kbps. But thank you, anyway.
ReplyDeleteSergio
Sergio, I'm sorry if the bitrate is not mentioned. This does not usually happen here in SD. I received this album from a friend of our blog. I heard here and loved this album. Thank You too!
DeleteDon’t be sorry Mam, this happens more often than you think. Many are not detail oriented to the point of checking the sound frequencies of an album. What I don’t understand is what drives people to tamper the bitrate of an album. If what matters is the work as a whole, it would be more honest to present the album in its original bitrate. Well, it's not your fault.
Delete“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” it’s what people say but your level of credibility is key to your success. Thanks again!
Best regards,
Sergio
Beautiful sophisticated swing music a fabulous singer and a dream band. This is so much my type of jazz that I cannot stop grinning. Love it love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you old friend - you are one in a million.
Hey Olbaz, Glad you liked my friend!
DeleteThank You always!
@Sergio
ReplyDeleteI will not be so sure about this is a 128kbps rip. In my opinion, definitely it isn't. Also, I can't assure that this a 320kbs rip. Mostly I can say is that this rip look suspicious to me.
All tracks have different frequencies cutoff. They go from 16.9 to 20.2 kHz. As long as i know, Lame 3.98 don't add frequencies to the original when they not exist. Overall, I will leave post as it is till someone can proof with a better rip that this is not a real 320kbps rip.
My friend Mai Naime, regardless of bitrate this album is great and I have to thank those who sent me .. Thanks always for everything!
Delete@Mai Neime, I know that the whole album it is not a 320kbps rip since the cutoff of a 320kbps reaches 20,5KHz. We can say that track number 8 is a 320kbps but not the whole album. Considering that the cutoff of a 128kbps album is around 16,5KHz and that a 192kbps album is around 18,9KHz I would say that the Molly Ryan album here being offered is somewhere in between, since the cutoffs averages 17,4KHz.
ReplyDeleteHere is the cutoff of all “Let’s Fly Away” tracks as it is offered in the above link:
Track list:
1) 16,9KHz
2) 16,5KHz
3) 16,5KHz
4) 19,3KHz
5) 16,9KHz
6) 17,1KHz
7) 16,9KHz
8) 20,2KHz
9) 17,1KHz
10) 16,9KHz
11) 17,1KHz
12) 16,7KHz
13) 19,3KHz
14) 16,5KHz
For me there is no need to prove this is or isn’t a 320kbps. I know it is not (remember that, in addition to the fact that I know how to check the frequencies of the music offered, my hearing is still in good condition). We also know that streaming ripping softwares are available everywhere, as well as other mechanisms of music (in it’s several formats) capture so, it is perfectly conceivable that this album could have been ripped in a format and converted into another (by using a VBR format).
The thing is that I’am glad I found it here and grateful for the chance to listen to such a wonderful singer, but this doesn’t prevent me from saying what I said.
Thank you for the explanations, but unfortunately they didn't convince me.
