Jackie Myers Trio

With the tight rhythm section of Less and Leifer, the Jackie Myers Trio delivers a vibrant mix of straight-ahead jazz, soul-jazz, and blues, creating an experience both fresh and rooted in tradition.

The trio includes Jackie Myers vocals, bassist Seth Lee, and drummer Matt Leifer.

ABOUT JACKIE MYERS

Jackie Myers boasts a catalog of 8 albums, the most recent of which, What About The Butterfly, pushes jazz boundaries, showcasing a fusion of modern composition techniques and improvisation. The concept is modern vocal jazz paired with microtonal string arrangements. The record features some of the best in the scene, including one of Jackie’s mentors and musical heroes, Bobby Watson (Jazz Messengers), Seth Lee, Rich Wheeler, Matt Leifer, Aryana Nemati, players from The Fountain City String Quartet and a guest appearance by Iowa City’s own Blake Shaw on several tracks. The record was signed to 577 Records out of New York, NY. Following a sold-out release at the Blue Room, the album spent nine consecutive weeks on the Roots Music Weekly Top 50 Jazz Album Charts. The success of the album enabled several festival bookings (Boulevardia Music Festival, [2025], Kansas City Blues & Jazz Festival [2025] and Tongyeong Fringe Festival in South Korea [2026]) as well as a handful of prestigious regional jazz club bookings. Jackie is currently working on another album and steadily expanding her festival bookings and tour circuits.
