notes

The CD debut of Jackie Richardson is an experience of soul, a profoundly personal synthesis of the remarkable gospel, blues and jazz women she has embodied on stage and screen.

It is also a portrait of self &endash; not the showcase of a showboat but a demonstration of songmanship in the service of spirit. Her musical discoveries are in the moment, introspective. Fans of her vitality and virtuosity won't be disappointed, but the essence is intimacy expressed in a voice of vintage cognac and extended instrumentally by smoking combos of empaths. She is in love with love, she finds, and her songs are evocative and demonstrative of many kinds of love. She is parent, she is child, she is friend, she is lover... but even when she chooses to believe in the lies of handsome men, the love is in herself, and in each of us who attend her.

The result is a thoughtful suite of sweet feeling &endash; greatness of yearning, richness of satisfaction, a new beginning for a veteran with the courage to be vulnerable and the wisdom to be innocent once more.

  • A Woman's View
    author: Kelly Botz

    My girlfriend and I first saw Jackie Richardson at the Massey Theatre; she was singing while a Jazz dance troupe performed. When I saw she was in town again I bought tickets for Cookin' at the Cookery. Wow! I went online to find out how I could get a CD of her music. Ibought two copies of this CD; one for my girlfriend and one for me. We were not disappointed! This is a wonderful collection of life's experiences expressed through an amazing voice. We want more.

    I have heard over thirty years of beautiful music from Jackie ,and through all the styles ,media ,and arrangements it just keeps getting better.

  • Not just a pretty voice
    author: Hope

    She's not just a pretty voice. Jackie's personality, life experiences, dreams, sadness, sense of fun - come through on these cuts. Her voice is rich, her technique impeccable - but this is also a very personal CD - and that's what makes it such a great listen.

  • I LOVE IT!
    author: Dante Stevens III

    I saw Jackie act in many plays and when I found out she had a solo album I had to check it out and WOW, its GREAT! When I'm just relaxing on a warm summer saturday afternoon, I pop this CD on in the background and I escape into a relaxing vibe that can't be described in words! Can't wait for her next music production.

  • A must have!
    author: Dominic Burton

    I am so happy I bought this album! Jackie really sets various moods through out this album and you can truly FEEL the music! Some of my favorites on this album is track 4 " I'm in Love" and track 18 "Stay with me". If you are a true music lover you must have this masterpiece.

  • Brilliant Jazz singer
    author: Jose Luis Perez-Toledo

    Powerfull, brilliant Jazz singer. Her voice is full, rich and beautifull, the phasing is unique and so personal. Extraordinary group and listen to Guido Basso and his flugelhorn, great pleasure. Recommended for Jazz lovers.
